NSZ v2.1 Released

NSZ v2.1 Released

Nico Bosshard released a new version of his python script named NSZ, as the compression format recently born on the Switch scene, which will allow you to compress and unzip the .nsz files that can be used on the latest Nintendo console.

NSZ files are very close to NSPs, they are compressed, it's not quite a new format, the script is quite simple to use, and know that NSC_Builder supports NSP file compression in NSZ and decompression NSZ file in NSP.

Changelog NSZ 2.1:

- 98 commits since version 2.0
- Added support for pips
- Added support for building Nightka standalone windows

- Nsp / NSZ file hash check now uses hashes in Cnmt instead of nec file name
- Fixed a decompression memory leak / The memory leak only occurs for dctx.stream_reader and has been fixed by switching to the simple decompression API, which is anyway more logical for the decompression of blocks .
