Is There Support For Zipped Rom's In Psx4pandora?

like the title says, really. it would be a great help, epecially with the size of the iso's, which are around 500MB per game. It solves storage problems and can save a lot of memory.

You've never heard of CSO files then, or PSP eboots.

More info lives here.

Not that much related to thread or have much info on Pandora but title drew my interest. Is it even possible in pc emulators ? I have heard and tried to use mooby's cdr plugin years ago (which is abandoned for loong time) but it gave a black screen and seemed there was almost zero info -and interest ; strangely on this topic anywhere.

Strange to think that psx games are huge and can have a great compress ratio ; even with ripped games they can drop over 10 mb.

This really isn't a developer's topic. Moved to general.

What's more, there have been discussions galore on what formats psx4pandora will take, and it broadly comes down to:
- eBoots (because they're easy to add, and do a decent job of compression)
- whatever PocketIso outputs
- possibly cso (I can't remember what the eventual result was on that front - it may have been "if it's easy to add" or it may have been yes).

NOT zip, rar, because they compress in the wrong way for mounting as a spoofed CD (as a whole file rather than in sectors).

You've also got the link from Lurkio to give you more detail. Consequently, as a fully answered topic in the wrong section, locked.
