MagicEngine

[lennon1231]

I noticed MagicEngine are unable to play a few zipped roms,the zipped roms can only be played the first time after MagicEngine scanned them,from second time they became unplayable(the roms have no problem because when they were unzipped they were playable,and worked fine).I wish this problem can be fixed in the next vesion.
Example of the roms are:
Neutopia II(U) [Can't be played when zipped]
Populous(J) [Can't be played when zipped]
Super Momo Tarou Dentetsu(J) [Can't be played when zipped]
Tatsujin(J) [Can't be played when zipped]
Raiden(U) [Have some problems when zipped]

Yes, I know about this problem, my unzip code is not complete, it has problems with some .zip files, I will try to fix that in version 1.0.

I didn't know that the zipped ROMs worked the first time they are scanned though, this is interesting information.

This is real.
I noticed the roms that have problem can be played the first time after MagicEngine scanned it,but then I closed MagicEngine and opened it again the roms can not be played again!

I believe you. I will check that too.
After scanning a ROM MagicEngine saves some informations in the games.idx file so that it doesn't have to scan the ROM again, but apparently it doesn't always save the correct informations. The first time a ROM is scanned MagicEngine doesn't use the informations in the 'games.idx' file, it will use these infos only the next time, that would explain why it works only one time. So after all may be the uncomplete unzip code is not the problem.

I see....but the problem seems not occur if the roms are unzipped.
