Chadmando Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Hello I have a whole lot of PS2 games compressed to the .7z format and I am looking for a way to mass convert these to .GZ. (Using windows 10) As I hear PCSX2 can open this compression type. I need this to do it in such a way as to not leave any files left over afterwards. (Not a whole lot of room currently left on my hardrive). PS2 7z files are taking up 2.35TB, I have 160GB free space. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadmando Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 I have seen this, the solution however is not desirable as I do not have enough room to extract all my files first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon57 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 That bz.bat script deletes the iso file immediately after compressing the old file, so you wouldn't need enough space for all your images uncompressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a way to directly convert the file from 7zip to GZ. As I don't have enough room to extract all my games out of the current .7z format. I have a feeling I may need to buy another hdd :(.

As I don't have enough room to extract all my games out of the current .7z format. I have a feeling I may need to buy another hdd :(. There is no way to directly convert from 7zip to GZ without an intermediate step of uncompressing the 7zip first. I have created and tested a batch file with included 7z.exe to give you what you want. Drop the zip file in the same directory as your 7z files and uncompress it. Next run the 7z2gz.bat file. It will create all the temporary files, directories, etc. required to convert one file at a time, so you only need, at maximum, twice the disk space of your largest image. Note: this will take a while depending on how many images you need to convert. I also recommend you do a test run using only one or two of your files in a separate area to make sure everything behaves as it should. I make no guarantee this script won't delete all your images! Having said that, like I said above, I did test this on a subset of my images with no problems observed. 7z2gz.zip 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
