well, yes, 7z is not an easy SDK. Maybe we should ask the people from encode.ru for ideas for a C-implementation of a blockwise SzAr_Extract function. ;-)

Especially the allocation of memory for the whole uncompressed file is a serious issue. (Nothing bad for files up to 1GB in size for most computers, but for >4GB files it is some issue )

Oh well, it looks like I got my hopes up too soon

I guess I'm lucky Roman investigated the problem and according to him, the new version of the 7z SDK fixes the problem I hope he'll release a new version soon.

How would I do that? Does such an updated compressor even exist?

well... i think only creator of the software can do that , didnt seen source code anywhere

oh.. and the second question http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html

Then it would be the best to contact Roman directly and write a 'bug report' on the clrmame forums

Just did that

4gb is exactly limit of addressing with 32-bit...
but I assume you are using 64-bit version cmpro64.exe ?

I'm using 64 bit clrmamepro and 64 bit 7-zip.

if so, the only solution would be replace lzma compressor within clrmame with newer one that supports large files

Extracting them directly via 7-zip works like a charm. The files don't seem to be corrupt - I've dumped and packed the games myself. Also, the problem occurs with all 7-zipped isos >4 GB I have, also the wii ones! This means ~10 files which all happen to be >4 GB would have to be corrupt And no, I'm not on FAT, I use Vista64 on an NTFS partition.
Good ideas so far, but I guess either clrmamepro or its implementation of 7z is the culprit

I suspect the 2 files you have are indeed corrupt. Did you try to extract them with 7z directly?

Yes it's different, I had no corrupted images. If I remember well it reports something like "impossible to read central directory", by the way it read checksums.

I have alot of >4gb iso scanned by clrmamepro and never had any issues
got version 3.118 but dont think thats the case

maybe you are on FAT file system ?

So I'm not alone Man, I'd love to use RomCenter anyway, if only it could read 7z...

How to make clrmamepro scan files >4 GB?

Hi,
like many of you, I use clrmamepro to rename and check my roms/isos. I think my version is quite up-to-date (3.123); I can't check that though since the official page seems to be down. Anyway, I'm having trouble reading files over 4 GB. All my isos are 7-zipped, so the bug might be related to this? When I scan my PS2 folder, for example, I get this warning:

Corrupt Archive File:C:\Emulation\Dumps\Sony Playstation 2\Champions_E.7z | Reason: NO ENTRIES
Corrupt Archive File:C:\Emulation\Dumps\Sony Playstation 2\God of War.7z | Reason: NO ENTRIES

Both the compressed and uncompressed files are well over 4 GB. Does anyone have the same problem? Are there maybe newer versions of clrmamepro fixing this?
