I don't care much for zip files tbh. To have the ability to use them is a bonus that comes with this patch, personally.
Though using a non-compressed zip doesn't add to the loading times, and gives a single file easier to move around.
To quote myself from the other thread,
wrote:It's very useful to have in a multi user environment, without having to worry of one user corrupting or deleting the saves and configurations from another. I simply keep the games read-only in /usr/local/share/games/dosbox and the modifications in ~/.dosbox/saves, mount them together and everybody is happy.
I have several users here, some being quite young, and I don't have to worry about one deleting the save of another.
Plus in association with a custom launch script for each game makes deployment stupid easy too.
