How to send compressed files to an emulator instead of extracting the rom first

When a game is launched, EO will either send the rom path to the emulator or if compressed, EO will extract the rom from its archive and place it in the temp folder for use in the emulator. To disable this option and send the compressed file directly to the emulator, see the tutorial listed below.

·         Select the console that will be modified

·         Right click on the console and select Properties

·         Open the Archives section

·         Deselect the option labeled Extract rom first if archive

·         Click the Ok button

Note: Each console can have its own method of handling compressed roms, but it must be configured per console.

 

How to prevent EO from deleting files from the temporary folder: EO will delete files from the temp folder where the roms are extracted, so if any associated files are created in the temp folder, they will also be deleted. To disable this option and leave files in the temp folder, see the tutorial listed below.

·         Select Tools > Settings from the menu bar

·         Open the Temp folder section

·         Deselect the option labeled Clear the temp folder when EO exit

·         Click the Ok button
