psp psx emulation question

[Viralmind]

does compression make the game load longer or anything?

are there any disadvantages to it?

[parkermauney]

The more compressed it is, the longer it takes to load and the more battery it uses. It takes up much less space though.

[Viralmind]

i compressed alundra with full compression im going to see how long it takes to load

[parkermauney]

Load speed isn't much different at all actually, the battery is the main issue.

[Viralmind]

how much difference are we talking here?
i have an x2 battery so it shouldnt matter much

[parkermauney]

Not too much, about 4 hours of non-stop on a stock battery, you're perfectly fine.

[Viralmind]

oh ok, no worries then. =)

Wrong. Doesn't use up more battery at all.

so there are no disadvantages to it?

that doesnt make any sense

True - the processor's speed affects the battery usage, while the level of processor usage doesn't.

I think loading speed increases marginally but not usually enough to notice a difference.

I said that it uses more battery because the same goes for
iso's and cso's

But we need not worry about that. ;)
