The main features are :

  • Directly read, write zip archives without decompressing and recompressing them for the best performance.
  • Add, copy, move and rename files in the zip archives. Any rom that you have is placed automatically in the correct zip.
  • Recognize the text files added by rom sites and delete them.
  • Recognize the text files added by the rom dumpers and keep or delete them.
  • It’s safe. On all the zip operations any file removed or overwritten is saved in the `rom_unknown’ `sample_unknown’ directories and kept for future uses. This will prevent any unwanted remove operation.
  • Generate differential rom sets.
