How Do I Use Zip Support In Emulators


atomicthumbs

I am the king of the collectors, with hospital bed
Do I put the ROMs all together in one file, and can the emulators (or he libraries they use) suppot maxiumum compression? Help would be much appreciated, as I'm going on a trip tommorow and would like to fit some MP3s on my puny lile 128mb SD card. :angry:
 
I think it supports max(pretty posative), and they do not go into one file.

All of the emulators support max?

Not all emulators follow the same standard. You would have to test each one out to see.
 
Every ROM needs its own zip file. And you can use any compresion level you want, as long as its zip.

Eh, I'll just use perl then.

Windows Commander -> Pack Files -> Zip -> Create Seperate Archive, One Per File

Thanks, that's the type of reply I was hoping for. Something nice and pretty. However I did end up just making a quick 1 minute perl script for the purpose.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

my @files = <*>; # All Files in Current Directory
foreach my $file (@files) {
  if ($file !~/\.zip$/) {
	print "\n$file";
	system("gzip -9 -S \.zip $file");
  }
}
print "\nDone.\n\n";
