I was curious about new compressor so after tests I added example file because You ask it Personally I'm more interested in chds delta since it saves a lot more space. Besides we already have support for rar and 7z in MAME so zstandard won't change to much I think.
I did some tests with 7zip that has zstandard built. zstandard appears to be a sometimes a little bigger sometimes a little smaller with comparison to 7z ZLMA2. RAR it's even again a little bigger than zstandard or 7zip but it's faster.
Yeah, I've seen this issue. For now feature in test but I was curious how much it could save disk space and time for full test chds. Guess we have to wait a bit before full switch to deltas
I think I miss something here. I don't see any warnings about delta after full scan even if I choose option about showing delta. Do I have to full scan with crc checking of chds ?
This time for version 254 and archives in zips so test differs from previous but I think most people will rebuild from zip files so it's more realistic scenario.
Worth to mention that some zip archives have different crcs (for example 1941.zip) but size and files inside are exactly the same. Most of zips are exactly the same. I assume that clrmamepro adds some files into zips with different order.
It's intentional - I'm not sure if source zip file is checked against any errors so I need everything rezipped. Anyway 46 % done and about 2 hours and 40 mins passed.
Rebuilder reported 170398 unique roms. 23% and about 2 hours pass. I'm using rezip method but this probably does not matter since all roms are extracted from zip archives.
I disabled SHA1 for tests. rebuilder is put on M.2 disk as well togehter with mame.XML file. About 8 mins took scan of whole roms folder. About 26 mins. took 10% of rebuilding.
