Compressed audio support for Sega/Mega CD #330

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Do you have plans to support external compressed audio for Sega/Mega CD? Not 
every compressed audio format but at least one.

Not saying it will never happen but nope, I have no plans to do anything about 
this

Considering storage size is not so much an issue these days, I don't think it 
is so much an issue unless you are the kind of person that can't stand not 
having the "fullset" of everything, "just in case"...

On the opposite, compressed audio support has more important downsides, like 
extra CPU processing time required for real-time decompression (kind of the 
same reason why zipped CD images are not supported in emulators) and extra RAM 
usage, which on some platforms can be both quite limited (more than storage 
space) and could be used for more important things.
