Qu'est-ce qu'un fichier ZIP ?

A ZIP file is an archive that contains one or more files compressed or "zipped" with Zip compression. It stores files separately from each other, allowing the files to be compressed using different methods and extracted without compressing or decompressing the entire archive.

The Zip format was created in 1989 by Phil Katz and was used in the PKZIP utility developed by PKWARE, Inc. The format grew in popularity and is now supported by most file compression/decompression programs.

You may encounter ZIP files in various ways, such as receiving compressed files via email from a friend or co-worker, downloading files online, or exploring backup files that have been compressed with Zip compression. Both Windows and macOS come with programs that can compress and decompress ZIP files.

How to create a ZIP file

Windows users can create ZIP archives by right-clicking a file and selecting Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder. macOS users can create ZIP archives by right-clicking a file and selecting Compress "[filename]".

A ZIP file is a ROM used by MAME and other arcade video game emulators. It may contain the entire contents of an arcade game, or it may be supplemented by a .CHD (Compressed Hunks of Data) file. ZIP files are compressed using Zip compression.

Plus d'informations

Video game system emulators like MAME (short for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) allow gamers to play classic video games on their PCs and mobile devices. MAME specializes in emulating arcade games, originally played in arcade cabinets.

Players distribute MAME ROMs, which contain the contents of an arcade game, as ZIP files. If the ROM was created from an arcade game stored on a chip, its entire contents may be stored in a ZIP file. If the ROM was created from an arcade game stored on a hard drive, it is likely split into a ZIP and CHD file. If the ROM is split into two files, you need both to open it in MAME.

Comment ouvrir un fichier ZIP

You can open a ZIP file in MAME (multiplatform) and related emulators. To open a ZIP file in MAME, place the file in MAME's Roms directory. If your ZIP file is paired with a CHD file, place the CHD file in a subdirectory named for your ZIP file (e.g. for a ZIP file named MyGame.zip, place your CHD file in Roms/​MyGame/​).
