L.S.D Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Yesterday, K'Dash send me the rom for Garou MOTW Full set 77.2MB.I was just wandering what is the diff between 77.2MB rom and the 36.6MB rom.I have both so I can't see any difference.Same goes to Metal Slug 3. THe only other rom that come with 77.2MB.And is SVC full set also 77.2MB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Encrypted = 77.2MBDecrypted = 36.6MBThere is meant to be a Encrypted SVC romset somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.S.D Posted July 10, 2004 Author Share Posted July 10, 2004 Hmmm.....then, what is the difference between encrypted and decrypted?I have KOF roms that is encrypted and decrypted and both roughly the same size.And which one is better? Thanks, James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 I can't tell the difference. But I would it would be the loading time of each one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackKnight Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Is it something to do with the graphics being encoded in some needlessly long algorithm help prevent hacking and dumping? The decrypted C's seem a lot smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, James.Encrypted is usually the better since it's closer to the original. (The ROMs on the PCB were encrypted)Emulators like NeoRAGEx can't read encrypted sets, thus why such sets exist.

Xeon Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 the main reason encrypted sets are huge even when zipped is because those ROMs barely compress at all. also, emulators like MAME, Nebula and Kawaks tend to be memory intensive to these as they have to be decrypted while being loaded into memory which is the main reason to use decrypted Cs in Kawaks and Nebula. official MAME and FBA do not support decrypted sets but thankfully FBA isnt as memory intensive as the others (according to Jan Klaassen, FBA Team member) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.S.D Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 So, my understanding now is encrypted roms is the next best thing to the real game, but memory intensive? Nebula does support both encrypted and decrypted, is it?Doesn't that make Nebula the best emulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 From there it's just a matter of opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
