That can use 7z files. 7z save disc space... >.<! Why can't all emulators be like Nestopia...

Because there's not a standard for emu developers to follow, but the whole most of emulators can boot from .zip files. .zip also saves disk space.

unzip the file.He/she wants to keep the ROM as a .7z file.

Yeah, the thing is... My 7z GoodSNES 3.04 takes up 1.6GBs. My zip GoodSNES 3.04 takes up nearly 10GBs.

That's a bit of a difference, don't you say?

I guess you have every damn dump on existence, like [b1], [b2], [!], etc... I find that useless.

i dont think you can play the roms directly from an archive file.

I think SNES emulators only support .zip and .rom
If you want to play games archived I think you will have to settle for them just zipped...
if you do choose to do that though, I recommend ZSNES.:)

The only archived type that SNES emulators (and many other emulators) is .zip. That's what I think.

Well, looks like I'll have to wait for a SNES emulator to support 7z. No way I'm keeping 10Gigs of zipped SNES ROMs when 7z takes up 1.6GBs.

Oh, and Butters, NES emulators are starting to support 7z.

No. That means you would include only verified games. Many games are good, but don't have a [!], since they haven't been verified yet.
It's better to download the No-Intro SNES dat (http://gbadat.altervista.org). In this way you will only have the games that are commercially released for the SNES.
