Compressed ROM files support (zip,7z etc) #28

Open acepow3r opened 6 months ago

acepow3r commented 6 months ago

Well, as the title says. Do we have a plan for future support for zipped roms or maybe they are already supported and I'm too dumb for missing some trivial dll files?

It's a great idea and one I've been meaning to do for a while now. It shouldn't be too difficult to add support for zip. I can't promise 7z or anything else though.

(One thing I should note is that there is a relatively new Atari ROM type with the .ace file extension. This isn't related to the ACE archive type that uses the same file extension)

I'll keep this issue open to remind me.

Thanks.

ZIP file support has been added to release v0.30.0

I'll add RAR support once I find a good library. Or failing that, once I find the time to write one.
