I am normally keeping my psx games zipped on my hd and extract them when I'll play one and delete after playing and leave the zipped one. As you all know a psx iso that is 600 mb can be 70-80 mb when zipped. Since my hd is full of stuff and have little space it's only possible to keep them zipped. If there was a chance to run them from zipped files, it'd be wonderful. Is there a emulator or plug-in that supports this kind of thing ? I'm using epsxe btw.

not to my knowledge, although windows XP/2003 treats .zip files as folders

It totally depends on the emulator because it needs to have a plugin that handles extracting from zip files. AFAIK there is no psx emulator that supports, but then again, my psx knowledge is very limited, I'm sure someone here will know though.

i believe he has the right idea. it can't unless there is a plugin or the program is written to support it. i believe even the sega cd emulators don't support zip files for the sega cd games.
I don't think it's possible. Most plugins that do support zipped files have to extract it to a temporary directory. It's very simple, an emulator cannot understand compressed files.

Yes nomurcy is right! The plugins you see in some emulators (VBA ect.) extract the rom into a temp dir, and then play them.As for me I don't use psx emulators. I have a boot disk so I play it on the real thing!
