I dream of a program suite like [Overseer+Jacket+Sonaar+Plex] which would search, download and organize a video game library.

Does one already exist?

    Windows supports every single one of those compression methods that I just listed with maybe the exception of tar.gz – so it’s asinine that they package this way. You’re just training idiots to pointlessly run .exe files on piracy sites - likely so in the future, when someone wants to - they release a popular game with their packaged EXE and throw everyone into a botnet.

      I think you misunderstood two separate thoughts.

      1. Your listed compression methods are not as high compression as what some repackers use.
      2. The compression algorithm used by some repackers is not supported by OS’s or many common archiving software.

        1. You’re wrong.
        2. Moot point, because of point #1 being wrong.

        The compression differences between arc and others are insignificant. On the orders of maybe 10’s of megabytes. They are not making custom packagers, etc just to save 10 megabytes on a 7gb ROM.
