Getter Love LZSS

Compression / Decompression

Description

This is a toolkit for compression/decompression of LZSS files of Getter Love!!! Panda Love Unit for N64.

Feature of these LZSS files is short 8-byte header. The first 4 bytes contain the LZSS signature (4C 5A 53 53), the next 4 bytes contain the size of the unpacked binary.
If someone will have a chance to try these tools on LZSS files of similar format for other games, please let me know.

This package contains:
[list]
[li]LZSSdec.exe - executable to decompress LZSS files[/li]
[li]LZSScomp.exe - executable file for packing LZSS files[/li]
[li]LZSSverify.exe - executable file for file comparison and report.txt report on comparison results[/li]
[/list]

You can pack a single file or a group of files.

If you need to pack a single file, just enter the name of the source file and either the full name of the output file or a pattern for changing the extension.
Examples:
[list]
[li]LZSScomp 147-658AA8-000B7210.bin 147-658AA8-000B7210.lzss[/li]
[li]LZSScomp 147-658AA8-000B7210.bin *.lzss[/li]
[/list]
Both commands will create a file or overwrite the 147-658AA8-000B7210.lzss file in the current directory.

[list]
[li]LZSScomp 147-658AA8-000B7210.lzss.bin *2[/li]
[/list]
Creates a 147-658AA8-000B7210.lzss2 file

The same will work with full names that include the path to the file.
The presence of an asterisk in the input file name will indicate batch operation with the input files.
Examples:
[list]
[li]LZSScomp .bin .lzss[/li]
[li]LZSScomp C:unpack*.bin C:pack*.lzss[/li]
[/list]
