				| Hi there, I would like to know if you're planning to implement support for zipped games.
 
 I couldn't find any thread or faq about this. It would be nice to be able to use the cartridge games zipped.
 
 keep up the excellent work

				| The latest version on the download page does support zip files. _________________

				| Magic Engine has been supporting zipped ROMs for a long time. David has wrote his own unzipper built in the emulator, but the code doesn't work perfect and won't recognize all zip archives. Try different encoders. 
 It should be fixed in the forthcoming 1.0 release.

				| great   One more reason to buy this emulator
   I'll try zipping some cartridges.
 Oh, I'm using the demo build of the latest version available on the homepage, by the way.
 
 best regards
