				| May be your ROMs got corrupted, did you try to re-download some? _________________

				| Strange indeed. 
 I tested many ROMs - including FlipIt, HuCnoid, Jamanoid, Phantasy Star Demo and Tetris - without any problem.

				| I've had problems like this, too.  Not just with PD roms, but also various commercial games. 
 The problems go away completely when the roms are unZIPped.  Weird.

 Oh ok, I see... you guys should have told me that ROMs were zipped.
  I use my own unzip code in MagicEngine and it doesn't support all the compression methods yet,  so yes some ZIP files may not be loadable in MagicEngine.  _________________
