I assume you are talking about the Wii (or maybe Gamecube) version ?

"file too large" means it is not a valid Mega-CD / Sega CD image file or a zipped file larger than max supported size (15MB on Wii, 10MB on Gamecube)

No idea about the crashes or what you exactly mean by "small games" but it's probably also an issue on your side (corrupted HDD or unsupported/invalid ROM file)

i think it is the zipped format

Indeed, CD games must be unzipped , there is not enough memory to unzip them in RAM on load and real-time unzipping of CD data during emulation is impossible.

If you really need space on your drive or sdcard, you can use CHD compressed disc images, although real-time decompression has an impact on emulation processing time.
