WHD.zips and PS3 linux?

I'll probably do a bit of trial and error later tonight, but I might as well ask.

WTF do I need to do with a WHD.zip file to add them to my e-uae HDD?

This is using Yellow Dog 6.1 on a PS3 btw.

I'm assuming I just unzip them in linux then copy/paste the results into
the existing HDD folders. Sound right?

Yes, either that, or use a script that uses fuse-zip (if you can get it compiled under YD, but should be no problem) to mount all zips into one directory and use that directory as a virtual harddrive in e-uae.

Would have the advantage that you don't need to touch the zips and is quite easy to upgrade. On the other hand you'll get a lot of mountpoints...

Should be fun to try nonetheless. Will try it if I can ever bring myself to buying a PS3.
