7z possible?
There is a huge space save compressing the adf's in 7z instead zip.
Can GameBase be modified to accept 7z files? Will ever support 7z officially? |

You have to change a couple of files to add the 7z extension.
It's got nothing to do with GameBase, as long as the emulator supports it (which WinUAE does) GameBase can use it. I did it myself last year. You just need to open the databases and change the relevant filenames to be (whatever).7z instead of (whatever).zip I forget which config files holds the file extensions so you will have to have a look for that yourself. |

Why bother? Amiga disk images are small and drive space is cheap.

It is not a small saving, if memory serves correctly the games directory of tosec is about 800mb to a gig smaller. Jmmijo would've spent an extra day on my server if everything wasn't 7zipped |
