I've finally gotten around to trying this out, and I confess I'm also having problems. I'm told that two files (one of which was the Dueling Swords Exe file), are corrupt.
I'm absolutely, totally and positively certain that that I'm extracting the files properly, sinse I've spent quite a while this morning using exactly the same process on about 25 Gym music sets (that's Sega Mega drive/genesis format stuff, for those not familiar with such things).

Btw, aaron, you can use Win ra to extract files from a zipped archive too. Win Ra seems to have a rather irritating habbit of assigning itself as the auto unzipping programme rather than the standard windows extraction wizard, even when you tell it not to. Nevertheless, it's stil able to get the job done. Here's how to unzip stuff in Win ra, just in case your having trouble:

1: press the application key and go to extract files, Win ra will appear.
2: Ignore all of the settings business, and just press tab until you get to the folder tree (your synthesisor should say "Desk top"
3: down arrow down the list of folders, pressing right arrow to get to sub-folders, and press enter on the folder where you want the files (you might want to go and create that folder first).

I generally find using "Extract files" works best for me. Using the "Extract to (whatever folder)" command will create a fully extracted copy of whatever folder you were extracting, but annoyingly it's called the same thing as the original, and I tend to get the two mixed up (not a good ide). the "Extract here" commands will just stick the files whereever you were last, but as I like to keep the inside of my computer fairly orderly, I don't find this too helpfull.

Hope this is vaguely of use to you aaron, and I'm really sorry if you knew already.

if you ask me, i prefer installers. they usually create a folder themselves and in the start menu there is an icon if you choose to. this way you can access thegames pretty easy.

I've only recently started using Win Ra, but it seems fine to me (especially sinse it's free!).

Installers are the best thing for running games, but it's handy to know how to run themand create programme groups (and desk top items if you wish), without them, sinse some games don't come with an installer.
