Cartridge images ================ The RPK format is used with the MESS emulator. Cartridges are used by providing the RPK file name as a startup parameter with the -cart option, or by selecting within the MESS image menu. From version 0.148, a second format is supported which has cartridge dump files stored in ZIP archive files. The ZIP archive files just need to be stored in a location that is indicated in the rompath property of the mess.ini file. Cartridges are used by specifying their name (ZIP file name without ".zip") with the -cart option or within the MESS image menu.
