[Feature request] Compress files (zip-tar-7z)

Open wuniversales opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

It would be very useful for me to compress games that I don't use, and be able to extract them when I need them. Thank you.

If you want to compress files and decompress them all on the 3DS, I would suggest LZ4 compression, since it's fast at both decompression and compression. Because the 3DS (especially the Old 3DS) is rather low powered, I think maybe ZIP, lzma, etc. will be rather slow to compress games as they can be of large size.

Zstd compression is also a good shout.

Well, since lz4, really all I want is to be able to compress and decompress files, obviously if more formats are added better (Although it takes longer), apparently decompressing is already implemented, but it needs to compress.
