Got a bunch of old .Z compressed CD-ROM images I made for pcsx reARMed and would like to test them on PC.

Unfortunately pcsx reARMed on RetroArch can't recognize them.

So i do a 'file' and they say they're zlib data.

So I tried pigz/unpigz (a zlib compressor/decompressor) and for all my game images it yields
unpigz: warning: test.Z: trailing junk was ignored​

and creates a file 2352 bytes long.

└──╼ od -h test |tail -4

0004420 2e74 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
0004440 0000 0042 0021 0056 0094 00a1 0000 0000

For all the images I tested.

Any of you remember / know how to uncompress these?

Extracting the pocketiso .z file yields an iso (.bin) but no .cue and pcsx won't load.
