Description

Always updated to latest build. Galaxy S9 8.0 SD. Maybe half of my snes roms aren't being recognized. They're all in zip's and all are smc so I can't figure this out. Just got a new controller and went to play mario all-stars and it wasn't there. Tried to rescan the directory. Work's fine in snes9x+. Don't know about the roms from other systems yet.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is mentioned. Start by reproducing the Android ROM scan and rescan behavior with zipped .smc SNES ROMs, then trace the scanning path and compare the results with the reported snes9x+ behavior; done means all valid ROMs are recognized consistently.
