ArkOS
Another rockchip Operating System
Another rockchip Operating System. This OS came about from an initial fork of The Retro Arena to support a roms folder on a NTFS partition so that the management of roms could be done by simply putting you SD card into an appropriate card reader on a Windows 10 computer. Through various upgrades and tweaks overtime, it has diverged significantly from TheRA and it's time to rebrand this distro. With suggestions provided by community members, ArkOS was chosen. -

Dokany
User mode file system for Windows
Dokany is the fork of Dokan, a user mode file system library that lets you easily and safely develop new file systems on the Windows OS. When creating new file systems on Windows, you need to develop a device driver that works in the kernel mode on Windows-- a difficult task without technical Windows Kernel knowledge. Dokany makes it easy. It enables you to create these file systems without device drivers, and is completely free to download. It is similar to FUSE, and also offers compatibility with a FUSE file system. -

LZ4
Extremely fast compression algorithm
...A high compression derivative, called LZ4_HC, is available, trading customizable CPU time for compression ratio. LZ4 library is provided as open-source software using a BSD license. This benchmark simulates simple "static content transfer" scenario such as OS Kernel compression or video game's static assets (text/images/tables/scripts/etc) which loading from Flash Memory / HDD / SSD. In this case, compression time is completely ignored. Because only content developers compress the data at once and usually they don't care about its computational cost. But they always care end user's experience a.k.a. ... -
