[tyweed]

Hello i'm in need of some help on game launch can someone please please help me before i rip ever hair out of my head! here is my problem...
when i try to get gens or zsnes to load in game launcher it will not add the ext to end of rom?i cannot get it to add .zip to end of path in game launch or .smc any ending extension. i have it in debug mode so im watching it and no luck. and yes i set the gens.cfg and or zsnesw.cfg to allow rom extensions. so i also tried going into gens.map and gens.rom and changing name of game to ' sonic.zip "sonic" ' instead of ' sonic "sonic"' and when it launches it does put the .zip and it almost launches game but i just get black screen.  Please if anyone has a gens cfg or zsnesw.cfg please any tips help!!

[Jakobud]

No snaps as of yet.  I've been too lazy to go thru and make snaps for all of them.
