	Very nice to see you reworked it. I remember seeing its original release on Inc III. Now hopefully someone will pick this up and run with it... ____________________

	Sukasa - Send Private Message Thanks to a tip from Parasyte, a misunderstanding in the original spec has been corrected. The updated copy is available here ____________________

	Glad to see even a little work in the hacking field of Kirby games This compression format would not by any chance also be employed on the two Gameboy Kirby games, would it? It would be wonderful to have even further hacking potential, of course~

Every of us has a ⑨ inside. ---------------------------- Well, I've been trying to hack Kirby's Adventure for a long time now... I couldn't really figure out much even with the old version of this, but it's worth a try I guess. And as far as I know, most Kirby games seem to use a similar engine, so I wouldn't be surprised if KDl2 used it. KDl I'm almost sure it does use it as KA seems to have been built from it. There could be a chance even Nightmare in Dreamland (and by extension Amazing Mirror and maybe Squeak Squad) also use the same as well. ____________________

	Well, the whole compression schema is pretty powerful and fist the Kirby-like elements. Someone scour through the patents archive.. HAL Must've patented this!

Sukasa - Send Private Message I'd think the GBA+ Kirby games probably used a more effective scheme, or maybe even the compression functions available on the GBA BIOS. Though, I suppose some other Kirby games might use this, to be honest I'm not sure. COMING IN A LATER RELEASE: -Pass a byte array, filestream, or filename and start offset to a function, and get a compressed stream returned! You won't have to worry about knowing how large a compressed file is, just get the function to do the work for you! ____________________
