Description

Would it be possible to add support for the ZArchive .zar compression format for file installation? Xenia already supports it for compressing and running games. It would be much more convenient for managing games files.

Start by locating the existing archive and file-installation handling, then review how Xenia supports the ZArchive .zar format. Done means .zar game archives can be used for installation and management alongside the formats already supported by UnleashedRecomp.
