PSX/ backups...zipped?

[claym99]

I'm running 3.40 oe-a and was wondering if it supported zipped PSX games. If so, do I just zip the eboot? and what kind of zip formats are supported/ which is best for games.

thanks.

When you compress a psx game with pops, it compresses it to about 99.7% of it's full extent of compression.
Zipping a fully compressed psx game would make a 350.4MB eboot into 350.1MB.

And don't talk about psp isos on the forums, even if it is your own dump, it's against the rules.

whats pops?

[parkermauney]

lol, pops is the psx emulator on custom firmwares.

Ultra N00bish question, you are using pops and not the homebrew psx emu aren't you? looool

[claym99]

I know it's the emulator but I thought it might also be a program for compressing the eboots....

and yes, I am using it.


what does he mean by compressing with pops though? its not involved in that process at all

With later pops versions you can compress the eboots.
