Or wait heres a idea, unzip them stupid. Sorry i had to say that but wtf is the point of having them zipped on cd? huh u cant possably need that 25k extra space its not even like ur gonna use the whole cd in the first place.

actully, .rar compresses them quite nicely and when i make an image with all my roms it comes out at 820mb (w/o the mp3) so if thet were a feature it would help, i wouldnt want to have to make an extra cd for about 80mb

too bad its impossible

Im ust admit, have zip support would be nice, I'm sure I'm not the only one who hates unzipiing like 50 roms when you burn a cd

if you use dcf it asks where your roms are located zipped or unzipped i think it will unzip them for you, instead of going one by one

Dunno what's the matter with that, i don't have to unzip 50 roms when burning a cd, because i already have them zipped...

That was just stupid, Cless. There are over 5 gigs of unzipped SNES roms out there. A whole zipped USA set would fit on one disc, but unzipped, they don't. Some people would like to do this (myself being one of them). And no, I don't think other things should be addressed before this. This is a simple thing the DreamSNES team could probably do in a day if they felt like it. Maybe now if people do request it, it will get done.

Who needs that many games? Its crazy.

Its not so much that someone needs it..some people just like it that way. Having the whole USA section of the GoodSNES set on one disc would be nice. Besides, with 5 gigs of roms, I'm sure at least a gig or so are good enough to burn. But you couldn't fit a full gig without zipping.

You have heard about 99minutes cds??
They will easily store your 820mb. And about 50 games more..
Will that do for a solution??
