Today I learned what RLE and Lempel-Ziv is.

Is the rom itself compressed or only specific parts?

AdrienTD

Only some graphical stuff

AdrienTD

The sound for example is totally uncompressed (8-bit signed PCM)

AdrienTD

Also the background for the merchant screen is uncompressed as well

AdrienTD

And obviously the code is not compressed as well

PegPeregoGaucho

would be interesting to be able to edit the fights :PauseChamp:

i wonder if there is a limit like in XXL or if you can have any amount of enemies

PegPeregoGaucho

but i guess that is a long time from now

AdrienTD

Not sure, but there might be a limit of the number of types of Romans that can appear at the same time.

AdrienTD

Because once a Roman appear on screen, some colors in the palette will be allocated for that type of Roman

AdrienTD

and I believe there is a max of 3 subpalettes for romans

AdrienTD

so if you put a fourth type of Roman with different palette, it might get wrong colors

kawaii romans :Pooga:

Gaul textures :pogelix:

AdrienTD

All textures of 3d models are inside a single 8bpp 256*656 image.

AdrienTD

Which takes 167.9 kB of RAM, which is more than half of the GBA's main RAM!

Mr.Rubinshtein

wait your editor now supports GBA?
