ILLUSION OF GAIA: Decompressed (Quick Load) is a BPS patch for the Super Nintendo game Illusion of Gaia. It enhances the game's performance by decompressing assets, resulting in significantly reduced loading times and faster screen transitions. The patch creates a 3MB ROM with additional free space, allowing for the insertion of new graphics while providing a smoother gameplay experience.
This is a BPS patch for Illusion of Gaia which decompresses all the assets in the game, while providing an expanded ROM with available space. As a result, loading times are extremely fast! A handful of ASM patches are used to modify the loading process to support faster screen transitions by completely bypassing the decompression steps.
This is a proof-of-concept ROM that *should* be fully playable. The decompressed ROM takes about 3MB of space, with 1MB of free space in banks $30 - $3F. You could potentially use this ROM to insert new graphics etc in a raw format, bypassing the need for a compressor, while also enjoying a more seamless gameplay experience.
