It's a zip (or some kind of archive) with some metadata. It's still a zip at heart. I've looked at it and I don't consider it novel enough to not call it a zip, but that's just me splitting hairs.
The point isn't whether it's some god damn zip file. The POINT is with the added metadata it adds a safety layer. It simply tells the application about the file, the application then compares it to your console's info and then uses it (if it's safe).

nothing, as usual. This thread will be 100 times more bloated if the real thing or anything related gets released.

Yes, I just don't find the heaps of praise and arguments are warranted. I've explained this, and I guarantee I know more about what's going on than you. It's just a bit grating to see "HE INVENTED A NEW FILE TYPE BY HIMSELF!" when its less than approximately 32 bits of header data.

Sure, you know what's going on more than me, ok. Anyways, it isn't like @JustPingo himself was telling people that. It isn't HIS fault that other people interpreted it as that. He's even said that it's a zip file himself iirc.

Are you that bored that you have to argue over something so trivial?

On no. I figure explaining it how it is and properly informing people is the best way to stop pointless arguments. The whole situation is comical.

No, he said it was NOT a zip file, with a SHA-1 layer, from what i know. soo..its not just a "zip file". i had a chat with him on twitter about it. its not a zip file.
