I have decompressed this TIM file of a PS1 game by using the game's ASM code, but I need to re-compress it now.

It seems to be a LZSS-like compression. 1st byte is 0x01, the next 4 bytes are the final size, the rest is the compressed data, with 2-byte flags to declare literal and compressed. Compressed bytes are 16-bit too: 5 bits for length (plus 3) and 11 bits for distance (plus 1).

See the attached files for compressed and uncompressed files.

This is what I've tried without success:

Code:

comtype lzss "11 5 2 2 0"
IDString "\x01"
get SIZE long
savepos OFFSET
get ZSIZE asize
math ZSIZE - OFFSET
clog test OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE

Any help would be infinitely appreciated!

Code:

log MEMORY_FILE 0 0
put 0x01 byte MEMORY_FILE
get SIZE asize
put SIZE long MEMORY_FILE
append
comtype lzss_compress "11 5 2 2 0"
clog MEMORY_FILE 0 SIZE SIZE
append
get SIZE asize MEMORY_FILE
log "new_file.dat" 0 SIZE MEMORY_FILE
