lxz compression what if...

[Dr.Gonz0]

Just a question, everything I see being LZX compressed says you must flash it via sd card. I understand the factor of it being less than 50 MB and the RUU won't take it. But what if a rom is over 50 MB and is lzx compressed, what are the rammifications of using the ruu to flash?

I think that LZX compression has to be flashed through an SD card not only because the RUU wo't take it, but because the RUU doesnt know how to deal with a compressed image file. Correct me if im wrong but I do know that this is so with things like game system emulators.

I got to playing around with the kitchen and decided to experiment a little... I cooked up something through super just and made it around 50mb. Got the standard invalid image size through the RUU. I then threw a couple things more on there to make it 53 MB and it flashed WITH LZX compression. Made it to 100 percent and hasn't bricked on me yet. I'll see how this thing runs through out the next day or two to see if it bugs out really bad.

UPDATE: It seems to work fine but it's slower...
