How are zip files handled?
-
When a game is launched from EmulationStation and the item is zipped, does the file get unzipped to disk (temp files) or RAM?
-
to
/tmpcurrently (which by default is on disk) -
@BuZz it would be good to get that expanding to RAM for most systems.
I suppose there are thousands of writes to the disk (sd card) made by the system, but it would be good to write temp to RAM to help avoid disk curruption on power off and avoid general disk wear where possible.
Thanks for confirming.

@vretro can mount /tmp on tmpfs. If we did that by default there would be out of memory issues
