Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</h2>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md91"></a>
ROM hack (insert hack name here) does not work</h3>
<ul>
<li>Most ROM hacks rely on an Expansion Pak, or might be only compatible with emulators.</li>
<li>Some (very old) hacks override the CIC or save type that is expected from the internal N64FlashcartMenu database. (for more information on how to change the expected types, <a class="el" href="md_docs_212__rom__configuration.html">read here</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md92"></a>
My Roms are all in individual ZIP files and it is hassle to extract them before adding them to the SD card</h3>
<p>You can try running a powershell script to extract them before adding them to the SD card: </p><div class="fragment"><div class="line">$exts = @(&quot;*.n64&quot;, &quot;*.z64&quot;, &quot;*.v64&quot;); Get-ChildItem -Filter &quot;*.zip&quot; | ForEach-Object { Expand-Archive $_.FullName -DestinationPath &quot;$($_.BaseName)_temp&quot; -Force; Get-ChildItem &quot;$($_.BaseName)_temp\*&quot; -File -Include $exts | Move-Item -Destination .; Remove-Item &quot;$($_.BaseName)_temp&quot; -Recurse -Force }</div>
</div><!-- fragment --><h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md93"></a>
I am using macOS and want to clean unwanted files before adding them to the SD card</h3>
<p>On macOS, if you have extracted ROM's from ZIP or other compressed files, run <code>dot_clean -m /Volumes/SummerCart</code> to clear those awful dotfiles.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md94"></a>
I have changed the menu/config.ini file manually and things are not working.</h3>
<p>Delete the file. It will be re-created automatically with the default settings. </p>
