Hi there. I'm looking for some PC8801 roms (specifically Bomberman if anyone knows where to find it.) I did find this one website that had this master list to download but the files are all weird and not recognized by M88. Can anyone help me? www.theisozone.com/downloads/misc/full-rom-sets/pc8801-pack/

What extension do the disk images in that pack have?

I was snooping around the pack and found a lot of weird stuff in here. For starters, when you unzip it and go inside the folder, it has three folders marked "image1" "image 2" and "image 3". Inside these folders is a mix of .cab files, .lzh files, and zip files. I know that the extension needed .d88 and the zip files seem to contain them, but due to most of the text being illegible, they're randomly all over this pack. I recorded a short video with bandicam to show you what this looks like. It's freakin' bizarre! www.dropbox.com/s/yd78kpu6sban8rf/bandicam%202017-02-21%2021-54-30-498.mp4?dl=0

.cab, .lzh, and .zip are compressed archives. Just use winrar or 7zip to open them. Inside you should find the .d88 files. The garbled text is probably due to the names being in Japanese and not being recognized by your computer or maybe the text got corrupted. I found another collection pack in that same site, try that one: www.theisozone.com/downloads/misc/full-rom-sets/retro-nec-pc-8801-game-colection/I have a huge pack of my own, but I don't have any place to upload a 600meg file. It doesn't have Bomberman though. For any other questions or requests you can go to the Tokugawa forums, they deal with old systems like the one you're asking about and they fill a lot of rare requests: fullmotionvideo.free.fr/phpBB3/index.php
