Unzip failed error fam 20
« on: August 20, 2025, 08:48:46 am »
I have an AVP 660 brain box running Fam20 in an IGT G20 just fine. but when trying to install a new package (game is Mistress of Egypt), when inserting the flash drive and clicking the "add" button, it immediately errored out and said "unzip failed".

I tried another game package and got the same error.  I couldn't find any mention of this error on the forum.   Does anyone know the cause of this error?

Should be a mention of this error on the boards as others will likely experience this.   But there isn't currently.   So here's the issue and simple fix.

On Fam20, the filenames of game loader files can only be the game ID on the USB flash drive you're loading it with or it will give you that error. 

With Fam14, it doesn't care about the filename.  It does on Fam20. 

While you can load games that are named anything using the fam20 diag with the deployment utility.  That's a hassle to just to load another game.

If you rename the zipfile of the game loader so it only has the game ID for the filename.  Then it won't give you that error when loading from the ekey menu in the add/remove packages section and will install normally.
