Roms/games with no .ext showing up red in RLUI (Acorn Atom games)

[thomas3120]

Hello,
Been a while.
I'm not sure if you can get Acorn Atom games to show up in 'green' or correct in RLUI.
They're in red but work...believe it's b/c there's no extension to the game files...?
Any ideas or work arounds?
thx

Zip your files up and enable 7z in RL for Acorn Atom.

Also add 7z or zip to your emulator

Thanks for the reply,

Tried zipping the file as Zip and also 7z.

I get this error when RL tries to launch the game:

 

Along with the above I also tried the setting 'Skip Checks: ROM extensions'  but RL (launcher) just freezes.

did you add 7z and zip to the rom extensions for the emulator you are using ?

In RLUI under Global/Emulators/Atomulator yes.  (7z|zip)

Not in HyperHQ though.

**Or In RLUI Under Acorn Atom in Settings or ROM Tab?

I vaguely remember someone saying you could trick RLUI by adding some letter/number in Global/emulators/atomulator then under extensions  7z|zip|*?|...
