".7z" and ".7Z" Entries Missing for the Following Systems with 7-Zip Compression Supported Emulators in RetroPie's Auto-Generated "es_systems.cfg" #2154

Closed MajorDangerNine closed 7 years ago

MajorDangerNine commented 7 years ago

All systems below have had their "lr-" emulators tested for ".7z" support and they do indeed have support, barring the libretro MAME emulators in Arcade.

It would also be nice if the extensions were alphabetized for easier reading, but I know that isn't a true issue.

Hopefully I have done this right, since this did not seem like something that needed to be discussed. If I've done something wrong, then I apologize in advance.

Also, it should be noted that this list may be incomplete due to my lack of testing systems I do not have an interest in, such as systems with only non-Libretro emulators being usable or ideal, systems with experimental emulators only, or anything else that isn't a typical console or handheld.

In your es_systems.cfg file you can change this. It's just a matter of adding .7z as a file extension that can be run for each system. See this guide on how to edit the es_systems.cfg, it's recommended to make a copy of it. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Add-a-New-System-in-EmulationStation

I know how to do that and have done so.

My issue is that it isn't done by default, even though all of the systems above have emulators that support 7z, and this should be done so that every user looking to save more space doesn't have to make a custom "es_systems.cfg" if they don't want to.
