# yaz0 - a Rust crate for de/compressing Nintendo Yaz0 ("SZS") files

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/gcnhax/yaz0-rs.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/gcnhax/yaz0-rs)

Yaz0 is Nintendo's version of Haruhiko Okumura's in/famous 1989 LZSS implementation. It's been continually used in first party titles, wrapping various other formats, since the N64 era.

**2024 note**: you might want to look into [szs](https://crates.io/crates/szs), by riidefi, which has much higher performance and a wide selection of compression methods, including emulations of compression methods used for specific games. It's not pure Rust, but it's unlikely that matters in any application you're using a SZS decompressor in.

## tools

To install `yaztool`, a de/flating utility for yaz0 files, do

```

$ cargo install yaz0 --features=yaztool

```
