Rom in nested zip archive is loaded as MAME zip

So if i have many zipped roms in a big zipped folder and use bizhawk 2.3.2 everything works.

latest dev builds crash once rom is selected.

Confirmed.

Steps I took:

Stick a bunch of zipped roms in a folder then zip that folder. When you open that zip file in bizhawk it shows the contents:

When you select one of those roms bizhawk (at least for me) is trying to launch mame and can't find libmamearcade64.dll (even though I am trying to open zx spectrum roms):

One for you @vadosnaprimer ?

OK. I use the same test zip file with 2.3.2, select a zipped rom inside the test.zip, and I get the platform chooser:

Notice that it has detected the rom extension as '.zip'. When you select the correct system it works, because presumably HawkFile is run again somehow.

Are we defaulting to mame now when the platform is not auto-detected AND its a zip file presented?

...because if so thats not technically a problem I guess. The file selection/archive (HawkFile) logic just needs to be changed to be more of an iterative process I guess. Because by the looks of it, currently we are not handling archives within archives automatically - rather with a manual step (platform chooser).

Loading an archived rom that's itself in an archive isn't supported. Do double-archived files still cause problems w/ the MAME-specific hacks in RomLoader, or not?

edit: Closing as stale.
