Version 0.6.2 : zip are faaaaaaast !!! ;-)
I didn't want to release something else so fast, but I had to find a way to load samurai spirits rpg zipped and fast. And the difference is so incredible that I had to release this version as is. It loads samurai spirits rpg in 23s if it's zipped now ! It might actually load faster the zipped version that the unzipped version now !
Actually the trick was to add a read cache to unzip.c, if some other emus want to use the trick, they are welcome to !
I also stopped to display the loading picture while ingame, and I added the patch.prg file, necessary to load samurai spirits rpg.
Also, be careful at the filesystem corruption bugs : if a program quits without closing its opened files, then there are good chances that the psp corrupts the files. So if you quit neocdpsp with the home key, a reset of the eboot loader for firmware 2.0 if you use it, or by a crash, then I advice to run something to check the filesystem on your memory card (like scandisk).
