Similarly a couple of years ago someone claimed to be able to play MP3 on the C64, but it was just a custom compression using some modern knowledge. Ultimately it had next to nothing in common with real MP3.

Designing a custom compression format that could be decompressed with C64 resources while still achieving good compression is still a very meaningful achievement. Which reminds me, maybe I should think more about that idea for a custom compression for GBA 4bpp graphics....
