compressed file support

[kid1412621]

currently I got several zip files of PSP ROM. They're not be recognized by Daijisho unless I decompress them.

PPSSPP doesn't support loading games from zip. Decompress it. If you're worried about saving space you can convert PSP games to cso format.

But RetroArch - PPSSPP supports scan and play zip file.

It's not worth the hassle to use zips for disc based games. If core crashes, which PPSSPP certainly does at times, it will not clear the cache folder. RetroArch unzips the files to a cache folder, plays the first file it finds (optical disc games for systems like PSX & Sega CD will have problems), & delete cache afterwards when content is closed (wouldn't that cause wear SD cards?)

This is why stuff like CHD and CSO exist. Convert your games if you want to prevent possible future problems & save on space. But if you do want it you can simply add it to the playler

hi @Jetup13, one more question, why psp player doesn't support CHD by default?

[Jetup13]

You would have to direct that question to PPSSPP's devs. It's been requested years ago. Here's the issue ticket
