Zipping A File Then Making It .exe To Share

[redmaggott]

I have over 2900 Mame game roms in a file ( file size 3.6gig ) that i want to make available to kazaa users.I have tried to compress the file and then turn it into an .exe file that i can then make available.I had no problems turning the emulator program into an .exe file and it is now in my shared folder as software.But i cannot seem to do the same with the roms file.Is there a size limit?I am using winzip 8.0.Any advice as i'd like to share these roms.I get an error message at the end of the process - internal error 13.Also after putting about a dozen roms in a file then trying them they turned into an .exe file with no problem.Is it the file size?Is there another way?

it is the filesize use winRAR instead of winzip

Winzip has a limit of 2GB on exes - actually its windows that has the limit... just put them inside a rar using Winrar (www.rarlab.com) and share that.

use seperate parts and call em.. Mameroms 1 of 2, Mameroms 2 of 2

I am currently using Winrar to do the job,but if i wanted to split the file in 2 then is there a program i can use to do it?i dont want to drag and drop 1500 files into each new folder

WinRAR can do it.. just change your Archive settings to split the archive into 2 parts. (set the size to like 1.5gb so it will do that)
