      Hey guys,

      I have a lot of ROMs that are zipped, and those ROMs are showing duplicate entries, one with a '.' in front of the name, the other not. The ones with '.' before the name fail to load every time. Any way to fix this?

      Thanks.

        Were these files transferred from a Mac and if so, are you sure it's not actually a ._ before each file?

        Edit: If this is the case, follow the advice in this thread.

          Yes, not sure why the _ went away in that message. It is a ._ before the file names.
