.zip are archived files which are compressed. Other filetypes that are supported by the emu are .smc files. If they don't have an extension, just add .smc on the end.

I'd run all the SNES Roms in zip format it will save alot of space and the emulation isn't slowed down at all by this format just the loading of the file alittle.

First they can't be in rar format they need to be in zip format. Also they can not be zipped in a folder but all the files must be zipped together into one zip file again not in a folder but by "selecting all" the files and creating one zip file out of them.
