[Not a bug] YM file size

[SamGaz]

Hi,

I made a song of 18 patterns and 6 instruments.
The size of the exported YM file is 109 KB!
Why is it so big ?

Thanks 🙂

YM is jump a raw dump of all the registers for every frame, so it is normal it is so big. Note that YM is usually packed with LZA, which I didn’t do because most of the time, people export YM to exploit this frame dump.
If there is a need for me to pack them, please say so and I’ll see what I can do.

Thank 🙂

Which would mean that all YM games files that can be found on the web are compressed with LZA?

Please, are you using this LZA to compress the YM file?

Sorry I meant LHA/LZH. And yes, all the YM you can find are compressed with it.

>Please, are you using this LZA to compress the YM file?
Is it a question or a request? 🙂
I can add the YM compression in a future version.

[SamGaz]

No no, I do not use this LZA! I thought that was the one you used 😉
I will try with LHA / LZH …

Yes, it would be cool if you add compression !

Thanks 🙂
