ROM hack (insert hack name here) does not work

Most ROM hacks rely on an Expansion Pak, or might be only compatible with emulators.
Some (very old) hacks override the CIC or save type that is expected from the internal N64FlashcartMenu database. (for more information on how to change the expected types, read here).

My Roms are all in individual ZIP files and it is hassle to extract them before adding them to the SD card

You can try running a powershell script to extract them before adding them to the SD card:

$exts = @("*.n64", "*.z64", "*.v64"); Get-ChildItem -Filter "*.zip" | ForEach-Object { Expand-Archive $_.FullName -DestinationPath "$($_.BaseName)_temp" -Force; Get-ChildItem "$($_.BaseName)_temp\*" -File -Include $exts | Move-Item -Destination .; Remove-Item "$($_.BaseName)_temp" -Recurse -Force }

I am using macOS and want to clean unwanted files before adding them to the SD card

On macOS, if you have extracted ROM's from ZIP or other compressed files, run dot_clean -m /Volumes/SummerCart to clear those awful dotfiles.

I have changed the menu/config.ini file manually and things are not working.

Delete the file. It will be re-created automatically with the default settings.
