just zip the non zipped ones, other wise it probably wont work. but you can try using "*" in the extension part, so try * but it will make it show EVERYTHING in that folder. so make sure its only the roms in that folder. otherwise just zip the others.

Thanks but this don't work.
If I put the iso and the mp3 files of audio tracks in one zip, the emu can't find the audio files.
If I select * the extensions and the mp3 are unzipped, mamewah takes them to its mainlist.

I think he meant to put each mp3 in its own zip file :)

not sure then, guess you can add to another list, or just do a second emulator for it. sorry i didnt understand what you ment. i havnt messed around with segacd/iso files [im guessing you were using sega cd?]

This is a common problem for many front ends, but there isn't the solution that you want.  

You have two options....

1.  Use a converter so that all of the files are converted to the same type.  

2. Make two different emulator setups, with identical settings except for the extension.

i had this problem w/ gens FE, using mamewah. what i did was i made two different emulators (SEGA CD and SEGA GENESIS), with same executable. then i just had two .cfg files, each with a different type of file extension. also a bit more organized as well
