FBN Discussion / Re: Recorded .fr files a little too big
« Last post by dink on June 19, 2025, 08:13:44 PM »Hi,
The main difference is, I removed the compression from the input recordings and state (incl. nvram).
There's a few benefits to this, for example:
makes it easier for external tools to edit the data, for speedrun-stuff
it's much faster without the compression
It's also more reliable, as zlib likes to overinflate if the data changes in the most tiny amount.
best regards,
- dink

FBN Discussion / Recorded .fr files a little too big
« Last post by player987386 on June 19, 2025, 07:46:47 PM »Hi! As always, thank you for FBN! 
Been doing some gameplay recordings in .fr using the last nightly build and noticed the recording files are a lot bigger than the ones from my "main" FBN build (circa 2023).
Example:
. old FBN record, around 30kb
. last nighty build, around 2400kb
Is it expected? Is there some recording system changes during this time? Not a problem though the recordings work perfectly, just a matter of curiosity.

Programming / NeoGeo CD OBJ Compression / Decompression Tool
« Last post by iq_132 on June 17, 2025, 05:07:19 PM »NeoGeo CD OBJ Compressor/Decompressor
Usage:
buildobj (C)ompress/(D)ecompress filename
Example:
buildobj c spr.spr
buildobj d spr.obj
Caveats
- Decompressed data must not be more than 1 megabyte in size
- CD image must contain a .SPR and .OBJ for each OBJ file as the CDZ will ignore the .OBJ extension and load uncompressed .SPR
Based on information gleaned from:
