SubjectZipMax Question Reply to this message

Is it possible for ZipMax to compress in other formats besides Zip format?

For example I want to compress my N64 Roms in .7z format since they take up much space. If I add the 7z.exe file and change the ini with the proper commands can this work?

What would be cool is that if you had a choice to compress the roms of your choice such as .rar, .zip, and .7z. ZipMax can scan it's directory and see if you have the formats, aka 7za.exe. It would be even better if I had a zip file and I wanted it in .7z that it would unzip it and compress it in .7z format, or a format you choose, and then delete the original .zip file. So now you have in it's place the file in the compression you want it as. All you need to do is get the compression format exe file, such as the 7za.exe for zip files.

If not then I guess I have to do them 1 by 1 :`(```, that will take me some year to complete *lol*

No. Zipmax was created to optimize zip (and only) zip compressed archives. Zipmax does a lot low-level zipstructure modifying (copying compressed file data, etc.) which will only work with zip.

Theoretically you can do that with other formats, too. But a) you have to know the structures and b) some formats aren't free to use
