It's been a long time since someone asked for DDS on Android.
The emulators that support it are PPSSPP and AetherSX2.
Benefits:
- They weigh much less
- It has very good quality.
I would also like to know if it is possible to add support for reading texture packs through a zip.
By zipping the images in dds, the file reduces its weight by up to 40%.
According to a PPSSPP forum, CPUs read a zip file faster than an unzipped folder full of files or photos. I don't know that that happens.
Second benefit. It is easier to move the zip file to the android/data/ folders.
For some reason, when you move many files to this specific folder, for example with 4000 images, it can take at least 5 hours.
I don't know why this happens on Android, according to what I investigated, it is because Android is encrypting the files that enter data.
Not to mention that when deleting these 4000 images, it also takes about 4 more hours.
