Atari - Lynx (Handy) Can't load ROMs from .zip/.7z
Description
Tried to run zipped .zip and .7z with this core and didn't work
It should run the game with .zip and .7z fine like Beetle Lynx
However, if I extract the ROM then I can run it normally
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Load Atari - Lynx (Handy) core
- Load zipped Lynx game
- Choose Load Archive
- it should return you with no game-loaded
- Retroarch v1.19.1
Environment information
- OS:Win11 64bit
- Retroarch v1.19.1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with the Atari - Lynx (Handy) core on Windows 11 using both .zip and .7z files and the documented Load Archive step. Compare this with an extracted ROM and Beetle Lynx; done means both archive formats load the game successfully in RetroArch.
