Confusing messages from Romcenter

[SgtSarros]

I am checking out some of my roms.. one says:

File was not detected as an SNES ROM dump. ok.

And is flagged green. It passes CRC check in zsnes, and appears to run just fine.

Does this mean that part of the file (maybe later on) is damaged, and i should see if i can replace it, or does it mean that everything is okay with it?

It means what it says. The SNES plug-in did not recognise it as a SNES ROM dump. What counts is that its CRC32 value was found in the DAT file.

so is it or is it not an SNES file?

The SNES plug-in can't confirm it's a SNES file. That's something different than saying that it is not a SNES file. The CRC32 value was found in the DAT file which strongly suggests that it's a SNES file.

[edit]
It runs in ZSNES, so it is a SNES file.

okay just wanted to be sure.. thought maybe it was an incomplete SNES file, which is why zsnes would load it, but maybe later on there would be an issue.

Thanks for the help ^_^
