Unzip games with specific encodings
Some games are distributed in .zip packages. Lots of these have file names with non-ASCII encoding characters.
Most zip files are not using Unicode, so they need a special procedure to be unpacked properly.
Unpack and convert from GNU/Linux and other UNIX
Requirements:
- Installed locales for languages to decode.
p7zip-fullconvmv
Commands for specific encodings:
Japanese
LANG=ja_JP 7za x filename.zip cd gamefolder convmv --notest -f shiftjis -t utf8 -r *
Traditional Chinese (Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macao...)
LANG=zh_HK 7za x filename.zip cd gamefolder convmv --notest -f cp950 -t utf8 -r *
Alternatively, zh_TW and other should work fine too.
