Question:
Is ZSNES capable of reading any compressed roms?
Using 7-Zip, ZIP or RAR?
I mean, all of those containers?
Thanks!

out of that list, just zip.
the latest version can read JMA compressed files, however. JMA uses a tweaked version of 7zip's algorithm which compresses SNES games more than 7zip would. JMA files can be made with NSRT. Sadly, the GUI for the app is a little confusing, so it may take you a few minutes to figure it out.

I was able to compress those files, using that syntax in the DOS prompt:
I mean, if you have a single folder, a full list with over 10K files, NSRT will recognize them imediatelly (just visiting that folder), and then you might select the roms you wish to compress to the JMA format, and he will do the job with all of them...
So you will have both files:
rom.smc
rom.JMA
romdfhsdjkfhsjkfhs.smc
romdfhsdjkfhsjkfhs.JMA
After this task is done. Isn't there a way to do that using the Windows version?
The problem is that we are dealing with over 11.000 different files... if were possible to do that by selecting all of them and just converting all the files at once, that would be great...nsrt -savetype jma -rename [rom's-name.extension]

Why not just process all files in the current directory?
Code: Select all
nsrt -savetype jma -rename -r .
May 9 2007 - NSRT 3.4, now with lots of hashing and even more accurate information! Go download it.

why not keep your current filenames, assuming you like them ?
Code: Select all
$ nsrt -savetype jma -lowext -renext -r .
