      Now that RetroArch has first class 7z/zip support, I'd like to request 7z/zip extension support for RetroArch cores.

        It need some testing, to make sure we only add the extensions to systems that have a libretro emulator that supports it (some of them do their own loading so wouldn't work with 7zip).

        You can do this by customising ~/RetroPie-Setup/platforms.cfg by copying it to /opt/retropie/configs/all and adding the extensions (and updating all packages after), or by customising /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg by copying it to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation (which might be simplest for a quick test).
