    Well, my curiosity is not about something in retropie per se but in how you people handle your downloads.
    I've got my brand new FBNeo 0.2.97.44 while strolling on internet and my torrent came really compartmented on "Arcade", "Console", "HDD" and "Samples".
    But, as you may have know by now my dumbness doesn't know any limits and I've deleted the previous (working) one without any second look.
    If I unzip I will have folders and if I put them all together in one folder, windows will ask if I want replace some files.
    Well, how do you do this dirty job?
    (my previous romset came in only one zip, separated in a gazillion download links, if you wanna know such thing)

      @CapNinja Arcade ROMs should are not to be un-zipped.

          My bad. On the Arcade zip file, are all the games zipped.
          Same in the other ones

            @CapNinja You should unzip only the main zip file, not the individual .zip files within.

                @CapNinja What files are 'replaced' when you put them all in one folder ? What's the folder structure ?

                  Some examples by folder
                  SAMPLES
                  dkong.zip
                  dkongjr.zip
                  donpachi.zip
                  galaga.zip

                  DEBUG
                  nothing

                  HDD
                  here was just 2 folders with images about killer instinct 1 and 2. Forget it

                  CONSOLES
                  This is a doubt for another time. Forget it too

                    @CapNinja said in arcade roms:

                    If I unzip I will have folders and if I put them all together in one folder

                    I don't understand your problem, why do you want to put content from, let's say SAMPLES, into the same folder as your romsets ? Those are support files. Read official documentation : https://github.com/libretro/FBNeo/tree/master/src/burner/libretro

                      Initially I did not have any intention, but after I read this on "validating, rebuilding and filtering":
                      "Sample: Some games require an additional zip file with recorded sounds or music in order for audio to work correctly"
                      Then the doubt came up
                      I will read your link and will come back later. Thanks
