FC8 is a fast compression scheme designed for 68K CPUs, with a new decompressor that achieves 25% the speed of optimized memcpy of uncompressed data. It is based on the LZ77 compression scheme and aims to be easily portable to other classic computers and microcontrollers. The author also discusses the possibility of on-the-fly decompression and trade-offs between compression compactness and decompression speed.
