Dreamshell: A Definitive GDI Compressed Format. Proposal - Ro Magnus Larsson - 06.08.2020 19:57
I propose a "[GDI-CYO]" (Español: Comprimido Y Optimizado) or [GDI-CAO] in English (GDI Compressed And Optimized) or simply a universal [GDI-Opt] as an exclusive identificacion for the best file Compressed and Optimised format for Dreamshell users in the web: A compressed GDI game ready to be played, so we all do not waste time looking for the GDI version that works in Dreamshell having 3 problems solved:
1-Optimisation that many new users will not do (they realize games does not work easily so they donesn't do the mod or sell the console)
2-Space in HDD/SD
3-The game version that works (I realize that many times we have to pass through the wrong dilemas of searching a PAL/NTSC or US/JP and the problem is the game version.
This week I put on my PC several hours in my free times to do the Python/GIT compression of various games in GDI, and at the moment of sharing them is good to identify the extention/format we put them. I guess somebody else already did this compression to save HDD/SD space but is rare there is not too much enthusiasm, maybe because some few games does not work in compressed GDI, but it really worth it
Anyway I propose a new identification format to upload/download the best file version for Dreamshell/RetroDream as [GDI-Opt], [GDI-CYO] or [GDI-CAO]
Example: "102 Dalmatians - Puppies to the rescue v1.000 (PAL) [M5).[GDI-Opt]" (100mB)
