Thanks for the reply malte
The .zip files aren't recognized by 4DO, just .iso and .bin/.cue
I installed Virtual CloneCD, unzipped a test ROM on my test Win 8 machine, mounted the .ccd, went to 4DO and opened the virtual drive and it worked fine. I prefer not running any virtual CD/daemons on my XBMC if I can help it. I think my preference is .iso if possible, and if you have any ideas on getting these .zip ROMs to .iso, I'm all ears. I found it baffling that the set was in this format when the EMUs can't read them natively; but it was later explained that the intent of the set was more for accuracy of the original discs and to let the EMUs catch up rather than conforming the ROMs to the current EMU, which makes sense as EMUs evolve.
I think I'll just go into a holding pattern on this for now. I decided on 3DO first as it was always the hardest to configure on my cabinet with 3darcade. I can start doing the other consoles in the meantime. I also posted on Angelcry's Adv Launcher thread, maybe this particular ROM set is more up his alley?

Any suggestions here since I think I'd need help with the commandline's params and switchesI guess this could be doable. If it is not too time consuming I might be able to help with the scripts. But I never tested 3DO myself or have any setup here to test with. Also I am limited with time these days, so it may take a while until we have set this up.
Did you already try to fire the zip files to 4DO? In RCB you can configure if you want to unzip files before launching the game (default is to unzip games before launching). Maybe you could also try to unzip the files before launching and pass the img file to 4DO?
