Wrong archive extension for mame 2000-2009 #1613

Core info files say 7z is supported for MAME 2000 - 2009, but it does not works (tested only MAME 2000). Their info file contains this line: supported_extensions = "zip|7z|chd" The wiki only list MAME 2010 as the first MAME supporting 7z. Please clarify and fix the core info files and the wiki.

2003-plus likely supports it, but I have no clue. Unable to test it myself.

According to this MAME page: https://www.mamedev.org/history.html 7zip support was added 19 Feb 12, in version 0.145u1 (7zip support and change in CHD format (CHD v5)). So everything before MAME 2012 is unlikely to support 7z.
