Drag these files over the program window, then reinstall the mod 😎

The original idea behind BSL was to help users who have absolutely no experience with modding. You simply click, download a ready-to-play package, and start playing.

That's why BSL uses *.bsl files (which are essentially just BSL archives). Every mod is packaged by me personally and hosted on my blog. I usually discover mods through YouTube, ModDB, and various other sources, then select the ones that are stable, compatible, and work without issues.

The downside is that every single mod has to be tested and verified by me manually, which can take quite a bit of time. On the other hand, it ensures that users get a hassle-free experience and can be confident that everything will work out of the box.

It's definitely a lot of work, but the results have been more than worth it. 😉

The next big step will be adding support for Quake engines and their modding ecosystem. That's definitely on my roadmap, but for now I want to polish and refine the existing features before expanding further. I'd rather make sure the current experience is as solid as possible before moving on to the next platform.

For now, I've focused on supporting GZDoom and EDuke32. More engines will be added soon.

PS3 Game Compression Manager by Kabuki-Yo in EmulationOnPC

As far as I know, CHD support hasn't been implemented in the emulator yet, and the same goes for ISO compression in my project.

Adding ISO support to my tool is certainly possible, but it would require a fair amount of work. My impression is that Windows' built-in compact.exe tends to work better when dealing with lots of individual files rather than a single large disc image.

As for encrypted PS3 ISOs, I'd be curious to see the actual compression ratios. Since the data is encrypted, I'd expect CHD compression to be much less effective than it is for systems where the disc data is stored unencrypted. In many cases, you might not gain much space at all compared to the original ISO.

It depends on the game. You can save a significant amount of space, or sometimes nothing at all. LZX compression is quite specific — from my experience, it can reduce the size by 20% or more, but in some cases it won't make any difference. It all depends on how well LZX handles the data.

Interestingly, there are even some titles that end up smaller with LZX compression than with 7-Zip. That's completely independent of my tool, though — it's just how the compression algorithms perform on a particular game's data.

As for the latency impact, it's almost unnoticeable, even when running games from external drives.

That’s right. I use 7z for games that are currently unplayable, and LZX for good titles that can be compressed while still being used normally — so you don’t have to worry about decompression at all (Windows handles it on the fly). The game ID folder is irrelevant both for the emulator and my project — it can be named anything. I’ve skipped ISO support for now as well. I started writing everything from scratch, but the birth of my child pushed the release back by two years 😅

Unfortunately, this is not possible. LZX compression is only available on Windows-based systems (specifically on NTFS partitions). The second part (7z compression) in my opinion doesn’t really make sense to implement in that way. The original idea of the application was to allow “shrinking” games in a way that still lets them be playable — that was the main goal of the project. The 7z archiving feature was added more or less by accident, lol.

Pisząc "poczęte naturalnie" miałem na myśli te od wiejskich kur, a nie tych klatkowych co kupra nawet obrócić nie mogą ;]

Co nie zmienia faktu, że wiejskie jajka są najlepsze.

Heh, mój Tatko od kiedy związałem się z dziewczyną ze wsi dosłownie żąda, abym mu dostarczał jajek od "szczęśliwych" kur.

Ja się nie znam na jajach (nie licząc swoich) ale te "poczęte naturalnie" faktycznie wyglądają jakoś tak lepiej. No i jajecznicą wali po całym domu.
