Support alternative disc formats about avocado HOT 6 OPEN

add in the future 7z-zip multi-images possible?

in 7z it’s very convenient to pack almost identical images for example (pal-ntsc, different versions, and translations) especially when they have similar external audio tracks.

while other emulators do not have this advantage

you can use to create and verify:

If 7z format allows for random access and seeking without fully unpacking its contents I think it's doable. I'm sure that it can be done for simpler formats like .zip (other emulators has done it).

• .mdf / .mds is not the right format in which images still exist.

@shikulja I don't think this format has any popularity in emulation scene - correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll take it into considerations.

no has, but sometimes in this format, images are found.
They can be converted. But it’s better not to touch such images; the quality of dumps is sometimes difficult to judge.

Support for zipped/7z files with zstandard algorithm(?
is a real-time compression algorithm, providing high compression ratios. It offers a very wide range of compression / speed trade-off, while being backed by a very fast decoder
and recently it can be compressed with the zip format using 7zip-zstd
