Remote File decompression

Open a1exh opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

There are various compressed file formats that are practically impossible to use with the ST 8MHz 68k but the RP2040 could decode them and present to the ST in a more usable format (e.g. RAW)

e.g. MP3 Audio

How best to implement? Perhaps start by emulating a stereo sound digitiser cartridge that existed?

Some file selector to choose the remote file to start streaming?

Interesting, I will have a look at this. Sounds like something perfect for a micro at 150Mhz like the RP2040.

I think a set of features could be available without writing a specific firmware for it. Starting in version v1.0.0, all the features with their own firmware will be consolidated in the "Enchilada" firmware; it should be part of the new firmware model.
