Suggestion: use the zipped files'name as battery save files's name. #62

Closed leoxxx closed 5 years ago

leoxxx commented 5 years ago

Now is the unzipped file's name.

andres-asm commented 5 years ago

No, it can't be done, it doesn't know the zip's filename and it's such a niche request I don't see the point.

Are you sure? I know other core is use the zipped files' name(like fba and so on). But why the Neopop and NGP.EMU can? And what's the "niche" meaning? For example, King of Fighters R2.ngp, I name the zipfile name "KOF R2.zip", So battery save file's name=KOF R2.flash. But now is King of Fighters R2.flash. Just change, not transfer. State save file name use the zipped roms' name. I change the title. May be the before title can't let you understand it. My english is not good, I'm so sorry.

Those cores load the archive not the file inside the archive, those cores support ZIP directly.

So your meaning is this core not support zip, right? It load zip must extract to a temp folder, delete them after you shut down. It's a fake supportting zip. (I guess) If as mentioned above, can this core support zip directly?

andres-asm commented 5 years ago

Most cores don't because there is no point.

I don't think so. It make the save name match with the zip name. Why can the state save's name use the zip name?

ghost commented 5 years ago

there is no point in doing such a thing...

andres-asm commented 5 years ago

Basically you want RA tailored to your weird usecase.

There is no point really.
