Game releases usually arrive as a RAR or ZIP. Until now they had to be extracted first, which costs time, a full extra copy of the game on disk, and a lot of manual steps for large titles. `pack folder` now accepts a `.rar` or `.zip` as the source. The archive is listed once, the game folder inside it is located automatically, and each member is streamed into the exFAT-wrapped `.ffpfsc` builder. Nothing is extracted and no temporary copy is written; the resulting image is the same one the extracted folder would produce. - RAR via the `unrar` tool (multi-volume sets and passwords supported), ZIP built in (AES with the optional `pyzipper`, extra `mkpfs[archives]`). - `--password` / `MKPFS_ARCHIVE_PASSWORD` and `--archive-root` for archives that hold several games. - The AMPR emulation index is generated in memory for emulation builds. - `batch` picks up archives next to folders and images.
Newer UnRAR builds (7.30) list the archive's quick-open record as a member of type Service. It was counted as a file, so archive listings showed one entry too many. Only File and Directory entries are members now.
The Pack Folder panel now accepts a .rar or .zip as the source, with an optional password field, and the metadata preview reads the title, size and icon straight from inside the archive. Builds on the archive source support of `pack folder`.
