Support for Additional game format (ISO)

[komawoyo]

Some games folders have over 10,000 files in a directory. Support to scan iso and read this game format may be beneficial. Similar homebrew that supports this is webmanMOD and game managers for the PS3

You can mount the ISO and run it off the virtual drive

Iso not really exist for ps3 game, so if you have iso, just extract or mount

Yeah most of my games are iso (from both retail and psn versions ) to help with file transfer and organization. Transferring many small files is much slower than one big file. Also, it has to do with space saving - Referencing this link (https://www.howtogeek.com/180369/why-is-there-a-big-difference-between-size-and-size-on-disk/)

Yes, at the moment I do mount it but its not really convenient and does not utilize the QT GUI for games listing

psn versions

They need to be at dev_hdd0/game/GameID just like a real PS3, without tampering with them, you can't put them into some compressed file and then expect that having a read-only mount of it will work.

Still an "issue", also misses the longterm label.

It would be also very useful to have some kind of trimming/compressing tool inside of rpcs3 for ISO format *for example trimming PS3_UPDATE folder or additional languages)

That sounds like a bit of a feature creep, especially since how game localizations are packed entirely depend on the given game. At that point you could just extract the ISO, throw out whatever you want, then turn it back into an ISO. Sounds pretty out of scope in my book.
