By adding them first.

Seems deltas + Huffman would allow a 70-80% lossless 8bit pcm file, but is the z80 fast enough with its bit shifts? Probably not fast enough for 2-4 sfx using such, and music is better off using fm/psg.

Changing button combos would become annoying very soon. Paper Marios do it with one button, but have the timing matter, and it's only a bonus. If the button combo was always the same for a certain attack or spell, and wasn't required for it to land, I could see it working nicely.

Besides tuning the encoder, it could easily be turned to a lossless compressor. A quick pass over a random song shows there aren't very many unique u32s, just tens or hundreds of thousands. VQlossless: 256 x 4 samples followed by the number N, then N of codes. Probably 30-60% compression, N could be...

https://files.catbox.moe/incsd9.zip This zip contains the first bad 10s from both the original Bad Apple and the vq2 version, both in the same 22kHz 8bit mono format. Do you really not hear the difference? The vq2 version is a lot worse. edit: I haven't tried the other formats you mention, and I bel...

The youtube video was "AMBTC VQ Audio Demonstration", is that a different VQ? I tried your samples from the prev post, and I think they still sound bad. Bad Apple starts ok but becomes terrible when the vocals start, Harry Potter starts bad, both at the best vq2 version. The higher-compressed ones a...

I listened to your YT video from 2013, and even the best compressed sample was terrible compared to the baseline... Have things improved since that video?

An asm line-by-line port is certainly going to be accurate, but also take a very long time. "Just" dumping the art and data like levels, either from the binary or from an emulator, then doing the logic by eye might be faster. If you're willing to accept some inaccuracy, that is.

Save your image as XPM and open it in a text editor Gimp also has direct "export as C".

tiles_image.tiles[32/4 * num]

Each tile is 32 bytes. The pointer is 32-bit, so divide by four.

__sync_synchronize() seems to compile fine with my sgdk gcc.

Bool doesn't exist in older C standards, and in newer it's just an alias for u8 usually.

I see the images fine.

That is not code, it's data. You can't change it to code.

Consider Krikzz Flashkits if you don't need SRAM. They use modern flash and have good availability, and no soldering.

Db-electronics considers them bad since they use resistors though.
