GP32 Unzipping Mr Mirkos Sdk

[GP40]

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I've downloaded the SDK on my win98 machine but I cant uncompress the file

Is there a place where I can download the SDK in zip format or is there a freeware unzipper that works with tar.bz2 files?

Thanks

Just for others who have the same problem, the file extension needs changing from tar.bz2 to .tgz :huh:

tar.gz and tar.bz2 are common archieves

well, in the *n*x-world..

Well, most windows archivers can uncompress tarballs, the problem is just that Mirko's naming is a bit unconventional (I don't know about the archives on sourceforge, but the older ones on his page resulted in the file "gp32_SDK", leaving open that it is a tar archive).

why can't he just put it in one signle archive then? why TAR and BZ2 ?

Because tar is an archive format (Tape ARchive) and bzip is a compression. You have to use them both together (in the *nix world combining seperate apps that each do one job very well is often prefered to an all-in-one app that is average at several jobs).
