Maybe you'll make it someday when this is more fully-featured
Since it's early in development I'd like to put in a request now - can you find a way to browse roms contained in 7z (7-zip) archives? 7zip allows for really good compression saving a lot of space.
Basically, a .7z file might contain 10 roms, the plugin should just treat it as a folder and scan inside, then when a rom is selected extract it to a temp folder, play it, then delete it upon exiting the emulator.
It would help a lot for systems with smaller hard drives and people with multiple versions of the same game (like japanese and usa) stored together in one compressed file.
