I'm trying to dezip my ROMs and the file estension is .tar.gz

I'm trying to dezip my ROMs and the file estension is .tar.gz
I downloaded a free program called pkunzip and when I run it, it just does nothing.
Help?

install gentoo

tar xvf

tar -xvf [filename]

gentoo comes with tar extractor

>tarxf romfile.tar.gz

I'll have to download it.
Unsure what you mean

>I'll have to download it.
good job

You don't use Linux mate?

I think 7z can do this

My PC is a Windows 10, it's only a year old.
Thanks but I clicked downloads on the Gentoo page and there's heaps of options, which one do I get?

Then what the fuck are you doing with a tar.gz file bro? What do you want to do with it?

Doubt. ROMs compressed in .tar.gz format use advanced compression techniques and can only be decompressed by gentoo.

read the Gentoo Handbook

Only LFS on supercomputer can do this in about a year

I put it in my ROM folder but the system emulator won't open the files so I read their forum and they said you can dezip the files.
I don't really want to download again because there's about 30 ROMs and they took hours to download on a torrent

Thanks just googled it

OK then. Just download 7zip and then right click the file and chose extract here and you're done.

PKUNZIP is command prompt only.

Thanks, I'm downloading Gentoo as well in case one doesn't work I'll try the other.

You know there's a thread for this kind of stupid question?

Don't bother with Gentoo mate. Just install 7zip and yore good.

Ok, I'll cancel the download.
It says 8 hours remaining anyway which is ridiculous
I'm new to here and /v/ just started posting stupid boom memes

For one I agree with /v/.

welcome to "lossless" compression

pk stands for pakistan

It works!
Thanks very much, Jow Forums is a good board!

my side

>Jow Forums is a good board.
Yeah I don't know about that friend.
Glad it worked though.

Anyone remember the good old ARJ?

ARJ and lharc had insane compression compared to zip.

*crack* *psshh*
nothing like some good ol shenanigans pretending to be young on an imageboard

I think PKZIP couldn't make multi disks archives. I used ARJ in 90s. Some games also used it too, mostly those AD&D games from TSR. LHarc was a bit rarer than ARJ.

tar xzf your-gay-porn.tar.gz

done

>Jow Forums is a good board!
you must be new here

Thanks, format your C drive btw.

just use 7zip like a normal person
