I'm new to this forum and a new MAC user so if I'm posting this in the wrong location please let me know. I recently downloaded a bunch of games to my MAC and they are .zip files. I have no idea how to extract them and play the games. Please help. Thanks.

Just double click the .zip file and it will unzip to a folder, then you have the game. You will probably need to open the game with the emulator in order to play the games, but that's easy (just hit apple O then select the game).

I tried and it didn't work. When I click on it, it says unarchiving for a few seconds then disappears and nothing happens. Maybe it's going somewhere but I don't know where.:confused:

It will unzip to the folder where the .zip file was located. Say the .zip file was called "Supermario.zip" and it's in a folder called "NES Games". When u double click the supermario.zip, it will unzip into a folder called "Supermario" in the folder "NES Games". Here's a screenshot that hopefully help you:

No such file exists. Only the one containing the .zip files. Any suggestions on where else I could look? Thanks!
