[ Closed ] UNECM with stdin input

yeah, basically i made ECMa for Dreamcast because of extensive use of padding in GD layout.
but turned out it can also outperform ECM on PSX XA sector encoding rather well
likely cause of this could be some bug in sector analyzing algorithm.
though i haven't looked through it's code myself, since i'd use ECMa instead
those are two things that could be possible to optimize in ECM

edit:
for example try encoding SLPS-00113, it'll crawl from 19% on, apparently something goes wrong there

i could send you pascal part without assembler routines, if you want to
it should be possible to link it with CloneCD's ElbyECC.dll instead
but it's really rather simple:
- mode of each sector is determined
- each element (sync, address, subheader, etc.) compared with pregenerated
- those matching removed
so what's wrong with ECM, i think, since it has support of many formats: .cdi, nrg, mdf? - well at least some of those
it might be that on certain data layouts it would get confused and would try to analyze data too much
possibly trying to determine whether given sector belongs to any of those
anyway, that's only thing that comes to my mind without looking at code,
since basis is just a simple comparison and there are no faster/slower sectors per se
except for ECC part but that hardly influence anything
and PSX would actually have less of those than regular CDs
