posted in Utility News by mooglyguy on Aug 29th, 2003

AdvanceCOMP, a collection of recompression utilities for ZIPped ROMs, PNG snapshots and MNG clips, has been updated to version 1.7. Here's a list of what's new:
  • Fixed a Segmentation Fault bug on the advmng -r option on the latest gcc.
  • Better and faster (MMX) move recognition in the advmng scroll compression.
  • The frame reduction of the advmng utility is now done only if possible. The compression process never fails.
  • Added a new -S (--scroll-square) option at advmng.
  • Added a new -v (--verbose) option at advmng to show the compression status.
  • Changed the internal ID for the bzip2 and LZMA compression.
  • The bzip2 ID is now compatible with the PKWARE specification.
  • Added support for RGB images with alpha channel at the advpng utility.
  • Updated with automake 1.7.6.
