Zero-Copy Android Storage Engine:
Converts directly in place on your device via
MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGEand real SAF path resolution, eliminating 15–20 GB of duplicate cache writes. - Zero-Overhead Streaming Checksums: Calculates CRC32, MD5, and hardware-accelerated SHA-1 (SHA-NI) in RAM on the fly while sectors are written to disk. Re-reading 8 GB discs after creation is eliminated.
- Lock-Free Multithreaded Compression: Batch coordinator with atomic work-stealing compresses CSO and CCI images across all CPU threads without mutex contention or individual heap allocations.
- Multi-Core Parallel ZArchive (Zstd): Compresses 4 MB data block batches concurrently across all CPU threads while preserving Cemu/ZArchive format integrity and ultra-fast (~2 GB/s) emulator decompression speed.
