gunit Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Is it possible to keep the Sega CD rom file sizes down by running as .rar ? - Retroarch only seems to support Bin, cue or iso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_Wilson009 Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Retroarch supports 7z and zip.. Try compressing one and enable 7z in Rocketlauncher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aorin Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 Retroarch supports 7z and zip.. Try compressing one and enable 7z in Rocketlauncher C_Wilson, Just a note, following your method, it actually clarifies that retroarch doesn't support 7z directly, even though Rocket Launcher will extract the 7z content to a temp folder, and then, retroarch will open that extracted content, being a cue or any other rom format. As far as I know, retroarch cores supports loading directly zip, cue, bin, pbp (PCSXR rearmed), and some others, but not 7z, not directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wont work, but if I load the same 7z file with rocketlauncher, that in turn loads retroarch. It will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougan78 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Enable 7zip support for that system in rocketlauncher and test launching from there rather than loading zip directly from retroarch. Rl will extract first so retroarch gets the correct files it needs. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Dougan is right. Retro Arch may be able to run a compressed file using its own compression algarythms. However it's much more stable when running the compression through rocket launcher. That way you can control it and your systems stay unifirmal. However, like you said, the so called Hyperspin ready set is in the older format of ccd. This could be changed with an edit to the module in either this or one of the other systems which use this format I cannot remember. But I'm sure they would have made that edit perminant now if it was this?? There is another set with another format, I'm sure this would give more joy... Unless anyone can remember if this was the one that did work?? Probabyky worth a thread in the rlaincher forums to see if I'm just talking out my ass hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SIMPLYAUSTIN Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Sorry I am a lil tipsy. When I said changing module. I mean adding ccd to a file type. I know this worked. With one of two systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kincaid76 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Does Rocket Launcher only pre extract on 7z files or will it do the same with a rar or other file type? i am having a similar issue with running PlayStation roms that are rar with Retro Arch in Rocket Launcher.
