Description

https://www.fosshub.com/ZSNES.html?dwl=zsnesw151.zip

Fails with docs/readme.txt/style. I am wondering if the zip itself has an issue or the fact that folder has an extension or something else. It seems to have a similar issue in JSDOS and FFLATE even though they are separate afaik for this aspect.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the linked ZSNES zip and the path docs/readme.txt/style; no repository file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing how JS-DOS and FFLATE handle that archive entry, especially a folder or name containing an extension. Done means the archive opens and the affected path is handled correctly.
