Hi, does anyone know if RetroArch will work with ZIP compressed thumbnails?
e.g. a ZIP archive containing thumbnails, instead of loose files.
I recently compressed 47083 PNG Snap files for MAME (the exe not the core), into a single ZIP. MAME supports the ZIP and can view the PNG snaps as I pick a different game in MAME.
In RetroArch I recently tested using a MAME DAT file and importing all my MAME ROMs as a playlist into Retroarch. This was very fast and all the games appear to be available.
So the next step was to add the Snaps for thumbnails. I tried using the snaps straight from MAME; I uncompressed my Snap archive with the files loose into a folder titled Named_Snaps and Retroarch worked well with them. So then I tried a few combinations of compressing the files, but they didn’t seem to work.
Does anyone know if this is possible? Or perhaps I could launch the game in the MAME core, then Tab back to MAME’s internal menu and have the snaps work from there?
