RetroArch does not scan the folder with zip archives

RetroArch Windows devices

  1. Download RA 1.4.1 and unzip.
  2. Customize everything you can and use the online update (dont dowload any core).

Following these two points, scanning works.

I have zipped no intro packs SMD, SNES, N64, NES, 32X.

Maybe it is removing all the core and then the scan will work.

We have an odd bug where zip archives won’t scan unless you have downloaded a core that can load them natively (for example, MAME or FBA). Download one of those cores from the online updater and then scan again.

Thanks, I’ll check it out in their 1.4.1

I did this for my SNES (bsnes accurate) and it cannot scan the rom zips. These files worked great on the prior version of retroarch.
