7zip support

[gorgeousjorge]

Hi all.

Like the title says. It works with small roms like megadrive/genesis for ex but with larger ones from sega saturn or playstation with doesn`t work.

I´ve searched the forum but couldn`t managed to get an answer for this.

Does someone have any clue why this behavior?

 

Best regards.

Ok, just found out the problem.

x64 version of gameex doesn`t work well with the extract 7zip option, if the rom is small, like 1mb it works but with 300mb+ just forget it, it doens`t work at all.

x86 version works all the way.

Another issue is the temp folder, it doens`t delete the files after you exit the emulator, the x86 version works flawlessly in this regard too.

I´ve made a video but i`m not sure i can post the link here, just search for "carrapice" on you tube or "gameex 7zip"

Hope this helps anyone who`s having this issue.

Best regards

Posting links is possible - is this the one? Also, have you tried installing the x64 version of 7-Zip? I do not run Evo so I cannot test this but wonder if it is a matter of leveraging the "bitness" of the apps?

Hi, yes it this video.

I do have 7zip x64 installed on that machine, so i guess thats not the case, or maybe the version? I have 16.02 from 2016, gonna upgrade 7zip and report back the testing.

 

Best regards.

ok just tested it, same behavior.

I´ll stick to the x86 version, that one works.

Best regards.
