Zip file support, at least in PSP port.
First I would like to say, Yes I've read your FAQ and know that you don't want to implement zip support in ScummVM. But I think you should consider it, at least in the PSP port. In the windows version I don't care about zip support, my hardrive is big enough to fit all the games I need. But on the PSP is different, every single kb is important. The Broken sword games are huge even if you don't have the sound and movie files. So please at least consider it. Anyway keep up the good work!
The PSPs memory is too small for most files so the files would have to be unzipped to the memory stick. Let's take Broken Sword 1 as an example. The CLU files (without the sound and movies) take about 155 MB. I assume ScummVM only have to use one CLU file at a time, for example it doesn't have to load the Ireland.clu when you're in Paris. All the CLU files zipped (one file in each zip) takes about 61 MB. And at least one CLU file has to be unzipped to play the game. So the total size of the game would be approximately 80 MB. That's 75 MB to use for something else. So can you please tell me if this could be done.
