Hi!
I was wondering which compressed sound formats there have been around 1995 and which are working now on a 486 DX2/66
For example a lot of games from Blizzard, Revolution Software, Westwood etc. have been using uncompressed Wav files or cda in these days, but there existed other formats as well like mp3.
From experience I know, that mp3 is not quite the route to go, because of it fpu "demanding" decompression algorithm.
So here is my question:
Which formats did you try, playing on your 486 (old or new)?
How much cpu did they needed?
In general: which format(including the non compress ones) would you reccommand for using on such a machine?
