Why unzipping them?

Well...it's easy ;) Keep snaps as roms, so setup a rompath and scan. What you have to care for is the selection of the rompath. CMPro supports two scan modes:


[rompath]\[setname]\[rom 1 ... rom n] for unzipped sets
[rompath]\[setname].zip for zipped sets

So you have to check what the setname is. Most likely it's "snap". So if you keep them unzipped in a path called snap, your rompath has to point to the folder where the "snap"folder is in (not the "snap" folder itself). If you keep them zipped, the zipfile has to be named "snap" and the rompath has to point to the folder where the "snap.zip" is in.
