Announcements And Comments > GBA-LZ Library

#53391 - phantom-inker - Thu Sep 08, 2005 3:04 am

I just thought I'd start up a thread here for comments and questions about the library, since posting questions here may be more convenient for some of you than using e-mail.

The official announcement of the release of this library was made on the top of the gbadev site, of course, but I'll repeat it here for any who missed it there:

______________________________________________


I'd like to announce the release of a complete data-compression/decompression library compatible with the GBA BIOS's built-in LZ77 decompressor. My library's features are:

* Compresses data to the GBA-LZ77 format
* Decompresses data from the GBA-LZ77 format
* Can perform VRAM-safe compression
* Can perform CRC-32 checksumming
* Can compresses/decompress a validating data stream format
* Clean, well-commented ANSI C
* Should be very portable, and tested under multiple compilers
* Includes extensive documentation
* Fully open-source
* Can be compiled thread-safe
* Includes a command-line compressor/decompressor program

For more details, and to download the library, you can visit my web site for it: http://www.phantom-inker.com/gbalz
