This may be a dumb question.  Did you test unzipping the games instead of leaving them .7z?  Maybe it does like 7z.  Just an idea.  Good luck.

That's not the issue (yet). He can't get them to show up in the menu, which means the rom files aren't found at the location RetroFE is looking at. The cause for that is the file path set in the global settings.conf. Some of the collections do work, because the rom path is overwritten in the collection's settings.conf.

No, just like all the other comment lines in that file:
# baseItemPath = C:\retrofe\Roms\
Basically in scripting, everything behind a # is considered a comment.

Code: [Select]
[2019-11-30 19:23:48] [INFO] [CollectionInfoBuilder] Scanning directory "C:\RetroFE\collections\ColecoVision\roms"
[2019-11-30 19:23:48] [INFO] [CollectionInfoBuilder] Could not read directory
Is that where your roms are? Your other collections use a different and uniform path of "C:\RetroFE\roms\%ITEM_COLLECTION_NAME%\roms\" (which seems like an odd and redundant structure IMO).

Indeed. Can you upload your Arcade settings.conf file? Apparently you're using a non-standard directory structure, and you're overriding your standard in the settings.conf file of each collection that currently works.
