When I run the machine it says "invalid file".

You'll have to convert it. Dinis1979 MAME Fan Reged: 04/27/17 Posts: 2 Send PM Re: HD image [Re: Vas Crabb] #365486 - 04/27/17 05:08 PM Reply How can I convert it? And now it seems it doesn't want to unmount. I unmount the file and the error message remains. R.
