This didn't happen with all cores but I think it did with one of the Snes or Nes ones I tried.
You could try using a different core or unzipping the files and seeing if they will launch
This might be it! I haven't had much time to test after I last posted, but this does make sense. Thanks.

I understand.

That's the reason why you need to use a front-end like AEL. I understand your points about how to store media. However, ROMs and emulation are different, older than media (emulation revolution started around 1995 where the MP3/DIVX revolution started around the 2000's) and have their own traditions, like DAT files, etc.
!!!! So if I rename ddpch.zip to dodonpachi.zip, it won't run? Damn... still will leave it there as part of my wishlist for the systems that can handle it (maybe you can implement it in 2020? haha)
