Gregory's Server@thamesynne I could yeah, also I think it would be pretty safe to pad the symbols to 0x10000, it would just make roms that are mostly empty space, but wouldn't bread compatibility

 @thamesynne I'd pick some lz compression scheme that could easily be implemented in uxntal ;) @neauoire lz4, maybe? pretty much any compression scheme will dispose of acres of white space @thamesynne yeah I was thinking something like that. I took at stab at an implementation once but it kicked my butt. I'd have to try again @neauoire might also be useful to look at Einar Saukas' Spectrum-targeted compression algorithms - although they're more concerned with decompression size and speed, assuming a "grown up" computer will throw billions of cycles at the compression |
@neauoire eh, that's what gzip is for ;-)
