Nintendo DS/GBA Compressors
Miscellaneous
Description
Nintendo DS/GBA - Some of my compression tools (source code included).

Maybe the best set of compression tools for DS/GBA.

Support both encode and decode data:
[list]
[li]BIOS compatible compressions (DS and GBA)[list][li]RLE[/li]
[li]LZSS (with my own optimized version, 'LZ-CUE')[/li]
[li]Huffman (this first and only tool to encode properly the 8-bit mode)[/li]
[/list][/li]
[li]non BIOS compatible compressions (only DS)[list]
[li]BLZ (used in ARM overlay files, RPG Maker DS)[/li]
[li]LZX (also known as LZ11 and LZ40, used in some games)[/li]
[li]LZE (used in Luminous Arc 2, Luminous Arc 3)[/li]
[/list][/li]
[/list]

Sorry, the 'readme' file is in spanish language (I'm too lazy to translate).

Run each command-line tool without parameters to view their usage.
