        Unzipped.

        The wiki page lists all of the acceptable file extensions:

              My roms are zipped and working fine
              No need to unzip.
              .7z is not supported.

                @cparker74 That's what I've done with mine. I've found that Sselph's scraper seems to be quicker and more reliable than the inbuilt one - instructions are here https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/scraper

                Note that cheats don't work in either of the Sega emulators at present.

                  Didn't realize you didn't have to unzip them. Good to know.

                      @raspberry79 Please don't bump old topics - the poster hasn't been active for 3 years and it's very inlikely they'll respond. Check the Docs for each emulator to find out the supported extensions and if you still have issues, open a new topic/add to one of you recent topics.
