        @ChrisB can you please remove where you got your roms from. It is against the forum rules to mention rom sites

          @ChrisB Ha, I worked that out when I had the same problem.

          When you extract the zip file, it probably gives you a load more zip files. If you then right click the top zip file of the extracted list, then something like extract all or extract here, it extracts them all and makes an iso.

            Welcome to the emulation scene! You might want to check where you got the file from and what type of dump (release) it was. TOSEC and Redump are some of the more popular versions of the disc based emulation images you may have.

            You need to fine out what extensions are being used within the zipped file. CUE/BIN or ISO etc. This will determine what configurations you may possibly need to make, or whether you can simply drop the image into the roms folder and run it.
