Bizarre SNES rom file extensions...

[pizzaboy]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know how to run *.048 & *.078 roms? I'm using ZSNES (the best SNES emulator out there!!!), but it can't seem to recognise the files as roms... <img src=smilies/banghead.gif>

I vaguely recall running files with these extensions when I had one of those Super Wildcard thingys years ago.

Anyways, thanks for the help :)

You're sure they're not part of a larger set, right? Many types of archive files (RAR, ACE, etc.) can be split into archives like that, where the number (048 in this case) is just part 48 of the archive.

That's what I thought at first too, man. But what SNES ROM would be so large to have a need to be slpit into 40 RAR'ed pieces?

My first thought was a GoodSet or something.

They're not part of an archive, they're Game Doctor roms.

Oy.

That page helps a bit. There really isn't a doc on the formats as far as I can tell.
