Problems with zip files

Wed Aug 13, 2008 5:51 pm

Hi all,

I have been working on a MSX demobase.
About 400 demos and still counting!

I have been working on it for a few months and had no problems at all.
Since yesterday zipped files cannot be read anymore>?
Only when i unzip it to .DSK file it's ok.
I have uninstalled winzip and installed again,,still no difference.
Nothing has been altered so this is a bit of a strange problem yes?
All my other gamebases/demobases do not have this problem?
What can i do?

this is the error message>>

There was an error reading from the file or the file does not conform to the standard.

Help needed! :?

Regards

it sounds like your script file has been changed or corrupted
if you are using BlueMSX
this default script should be ok

bluemsx.txt
--------------
Add_CLP(%gamepathfile%)
Run_Emulator()
----------------

also check your EMULATOR.INI file
remove ZIP (if exsists) from the supported file types.
--------------------
emulators.ini
------------
[Emulators]
1=bluemsx
2=
[bluemsx]
UseShortFilenames=0
UseDefaultTypes=0
SupportedTypes=rom;dsk;cas
EmulatorPathFile=C:\Program Files\GameBase\MSX1\Emulator\blueMSX\blueMSX.exe
ScriptFile=bluemsx.txt
WaitFinish=1

Hi Mad, :D

Thanx for the quick reply!

I have checked the things you said but....no change.
The gemus script and emulator ini are ok.

I've occasionally had that with Gamebase v1.2 frontend. Close it down, delete the C:\GBGAME directory itself, start Gamebase again and see if the message disappears.
