Why did we do the iso/bin logic? This really screws it up for people trying to save space who keep local collections.

AKuHAK commented 1 year ago

You can extract zso before installation, and remove temporary iso after installation end. Otherwise opl and other utulities will be a bit buggy.

Zso on internal hdd seems pointless right now. Just a really complicated way of getting iso onto an internal hdd now the logic has changed and the raw file size ends up the same or larger than iso on a ps2. There is no space saving or benefiet i can see so why is it even an option? Will using zso to save space on an internal hdd ever work or is there some technicality?

Can you elaborate on how raw file size is the same as a ZSO? ZSO provides a mechanism to highly compress images so you can fit more in the same space vs ISO.

1945 I II The Arcade Games.zso = 95mb 1945 I II The Arcade Games.iso = 161mb Final game raw size on internal HDD = 256mb regardless of file used.

Found this whilst attempting to load around 1.4tb of ZSO to a 2tb drive and was full @1.3gb worth of ZSO. All raw sizes on internal HDD were the same as installing an ISO ZSO space saving can only be done on a USB drive it seems.
