What is a .7z Document File?
Odd question? Odd situation really. all my years of downloading. Never have I seen something like this happen. Naturally...windows is always doing something wierd.
I went to download PCSX2 and immediately sotted the weird .7z appear in the "save as type" box.
My specific question is this.
How do I deal with a file that will not download as a proper application or winzip/winrar file. Or is the file for this imulator supposed to behave this way.
It's an archive format, like rar or zip, but features better compression. The 7-zip file archiver it's free and support this and other compression formats. Also WinRar suppports 7z files since some versions ago. Btw a google search should gave you the answer much faster

Well I am certainly all set with WinRAR's most recent version and took serious notice that the creators of the PS2 emulator actually chose this formatThe emulator most have a bit of size to it. Its actually cool that the format has its own utility though. I will be sure to use that link and download it. Wonder why more people don't use it? Guess I will get that answer when i download it.
Thanx Hagbard.
Well, it's a free format unlike Rar and offers better compression so I think it's normal that homebrew devs use it.

Compression performance, like with all formats, varies by what kind of data you are trying to compress.
It compresses ROMS down pretty small compared to other formats, but to say its simply better is a mistake

We were talking about emulation, so when I said it features better compression it's easy to understand what I'm talking about.

I see that a lot of the old free compression stuff going to pay. Good thing i kept the older version of them as backup
Perhaps it was just bad timing on my part...but never got anywhere with the download part. What are best times to download it via the mirror sites?
If you don't know what the file is for a file try this site and search for the extension.
I think it's bad luck onlyI see that a lot of the old free compression stuff going to pay. Good thing i kept the older version of them as backup

As of 8 PM ET I made my second attmept and got a successful download. Ah the bliss. Now i just have to finish cleaning out the old gateway and get it setup for emu console gaming
Speaking of...
What registry cleanup program you reccommend? Gateway needs it something fierce
