Read corrupted zip files with more than 65535 entries

[Nekto89]

Old minizip (1.1 with zip64 patch) was able to generate zip files that have more than 65535 entries without switching to zip64 mode. So result zip doesn't have ZIP64 central directory. At the same time it wasn't giving any errors and was able to fully read it afterwards. I understand that this is considered to be improper zip, but is it possible to read such files with new minizip-ng?
I had to omit format sanity check to read all entries without errors (replaced with err = MZ_OK;

minizip-ng/mz_zip.c

Line 1038 in 99d3901

err = MZ_FORMAT_ERROR;

Is there some better way? Can it be added as option? I also tried using "recover" flag but it was still giving error.
Here is an example of such file (65536 entries of empty files):
