      Hello all,

      I'm using a program called "Bitser" on a ROM bin as I want to open the 7z files but then have each file in it's own folder.

      So say I have 10 7z files, each one has 5 files it it.
      If I run 7z I end up with one folder with 50 files in it.
      If I use Bitser I get 10 folders with 5 files in each

      But my problem is I have 1865 7z files each with about 5 files in each.
      Bitser is OK running 40 and sometimes has trouble opening 20 It can't do the whole lot in one go.

      I am doing this in Windows and moving the files across via Wi-FI

      Is there a better program or just an simple way to do this?

          I thought the file was much smaller, it only took a few seconds to download.

            Suure... Next you'll be hiding them under your bed and telling us that you're just holding them for a friend. What type of rom set are you working with here? Your goal of needing each file in it's own unique folder is a bit perplexing.

              on linux it would be something like the following but I'm not sure how good the Raspberry Pi is at something like this.

              sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
              cd ~/folder/with/7z_files
              for f in *.7z; do 7z x -o"`basename \"$f\" .7z`" "$f"; done

                SNES it was only 1.6GB and took less then a minute. You have to love 300mb fiber to the home.
