Hello fellow developers, is there a plan to support some kind of compressed image files?
The game files are huge and the image type support at this moment seems to keep the same size.
I believe there are 2 ways to do this, please correct me if I am wrong, (1) one is to add a new filesystem that supports file compression and rewriete the access layer. Or (2) implement an intermediary solution like a new type of package file that would be decompress in a internal cache when a homebrew is loaded and was never cached. Are there discussions in that direction?
Does it make sense to implement these kind of things and willl they be usable in other projects like voidshell?
