Hacking slot 1 with files compression support ?

[dodol]

Just curious if there's slot 1 with files compression support ?

Not that I know of. The DS is not powerful enough to decompress files in a suitable amount of time.

Search for DSCompress, it supports Gzip and plain zip although for day to day stuff I would not suggest it. Perhaps for some homebrew you do not often use or even stuff like GBA roms if you use a GBA expansion (Chuckstudios also ad some stuff with his 3 in 1 tool).

I used to have a tool to compress GBA roms. It was quite fast, the screen would stay red for a few seconds and then start the game. I wonder where I left it...

Edit: it would be red and then blue. I found it again: http://www.dwedit.org/dwedit_board/viewtopic.php?pid=1750
You might want to use this batchfile:

lztest in.gba out.gba
copy /b m3decompress.bin + out.gba compressed.gba
del out.gba
del in.gba
pause

I bet if you compress a trimmed ROM you wouldn't save much of anything. You're better off just trimming.
