  Trouble w Carmen Sandiego zips?

  18 October 2010 at 2:25am

  Hi All, I'm new to the IIgs culture, and was trying to download Carmen Sandiego World, and USA. However when I opened the ZIPs, there were no contents. I've tried a few other ZIPs without any problems. Did something happen to these ZIPs?
  
  thanks,

  Hi Mike,
  
  sounds like you're experiencing an old problem that I only know a work around for. In the past, people have reported that using Internet Explorer to download the .zip archives seems to screw them up.
  
  I suggest using Firefox, Chrome, Safari as alternatives to download (which are better browsers anyway).
  
  Let me know if this doesn't work however.

  I think I figured it out. The game listings say they're 2image archives, but they have the .ZIP extension. I'll try renaming it to .2mg when I get home.
  
  I've tried opening it as a .ZIP on multiple machines, with multiple browsers without any luck. WinZip reports it's not a valid ZIP file.

  Hmm.. well I've tried renaming those file extensions from .ZIP to .2MG .. Ciderpress didn't like that as well.. it said it was not a valid archive.. tried extracting it over ADTPro and the game didn't boot either..
  
  I wonder if I'm missing something here?

  Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you regarding this (the server went down, I've been travelling, etc.).
  
  I tried downloading both Carmen Sandiego games and I was able to extract them fine - albeit on my Mac. I don't have a Windows PC around to test further unfortunately.
