There's now a FPGA version of the sega cd. Bit pricy though.

Plus with zlib, and using gzopen/gzread you get transparent decompression. It works for both uncompressed and gzipped files.

Or maybe even an ODE that replaces the drive with a SD card? Which could also lead to MegaSG implementing it.

SLZ looks very similar to LZ4 and Stef's LZ4W. The zlib code I had posted needed 4kb, but it's possible to go as low as 765 bytes, based on the 6502 asm implementation.

As posted in the thread before I sent zlib code in, aplib does not compress better: http://gendev.spritesmind.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2275 It may decompress faster, but as long as the compressor is closed source, it is unusable. I do have an unreleased project using zlib, but there's no need ...

I disagree with much of the new direction. I will not pollute my computer with Java. Waiting for another frame in case of a slightly delayed frame will cause jitter for little gain. Zlib is an industry standard, and keeping it would cost nothing. Thus I will keep using an older version, and probably...

(just how many emulators do you have under development at once? )
A byuu mcd emu would certainly be welcome, and ease dev for that system.

I think many emulators don't bother implementing any limit (beyond a 8-bit var). IIRC I tested mednafen and/or dgen.

There's little point to the "Tower of power" when a Saturn is better for all practical purposes.

Dgen is a very nice emulator to modify. However, we've had this same discussion on Nesdev about NES and SNES enhancements several times. The conclusion each time is that it doesn't make any sense. If you want to make unlimited games, target a modern platform. "Console X, but enhanced such that only ...

Genesis is unified VRAM, no penalty at all.

The Linux version of SGDK includes newlib, meaning standard funcs like memcmp are available there.

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.
