Error: Cannot open "": No such file or directory. You need to put the Game rom file in the roms directory. #6

I receive the following error when I try to execute my script that uses DIAMBRA Arena:

Error: Cannot open "/home/user/.../doapp.zip": No such file or directory.
You need to put the Game rom file in the roms directory.

This error appears when DIAMBRA Arena is not able to find the ROM file for the game that has been executed. The two typical reasons why this happens are:

1) ROM files have not been downloaded. In order to use DIAMBRA Arena, you need to obtain game ROMs files. How to easily do it, is explained in the Documentation, in the installation section, under "Download Game ROM(s) and Check Validity" paragraph. Using provided keywords should help a lot.

WARNING: As specified on Terms of Use (Section 7), DIAMBRA Arena is a mere software interface to existing videogames, and it cannot work as a standalone application. As such, it requires the User to own software elements protected by copyright, and to interface them with the Environment itself. It is the case, for example, of Game ROMS required to execute the correspondent Game-related Environment. In such cases, it is sole and only responsibility of the User to comply with all the laws and regulations, and to make sure he has the right to use such copyright-protected material. DIAMBRA Arena owners will spend their maximum effort in avoiding illegal distribution of such material, and are by no mean responsible for copyright infringement.

2) The path describing where ROM files are located is wrong

Make sure the path where ROM files are located is passed correctly to the environment, using the proper `settings["romsPath"]` parameter and/or the specific Environment variable. Also make sure to add the "/" at the end of the string.
