[FEATURE REQUEST] Zip/Rar/7Z Unpacking #817

Closed TwystedXYZ closed 1 year ago

TwystedXYZ commented 1 year ago

Got a great idea on how to improve GodMode9? That's always appreciated. Please make sure you add all the required info here. I want a ZIP/RAR/7Z extraction tool added to GM9. Describe the feature you'd like Add a clear and concise description of what you want to happen. There's no stable way of extracting RAR/7Z on a 3DS, so my solution would be to add it to GodMode9 using 7-Zip's source code. https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip Describe alternatives you've considered Add a clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. Maybe a port of 7-zip itself to the 3DS, but that's a bit too far.

What use case is there for this? Decompression would likely be way slower than doing it on a PC.

d0k3 commented 1 year ago

@TwystedXYZ - it's not like that's not possible (see this other repo of mine here), but it's simply not worth it. As @ihaveamac said, it would be a lot slower than just doing it on PC, and the additional libraries would increase the size of the GM9 firm a lot.

So we don't build it into the firmware, that's understandable. How feasible would it be to have an unpacker script that can be added to GM9 after installation?

Gruetzig commented 2 months ago

It is not possible to create a GodMode9 script that does that.
