Future research can focus on developing more efficient de-compression algorithms, creating tools for community-driven preservation, and collaborating with game publishers to re-master and re-release classic PS1 games in high-quality formats.

"Resolving the Issues with Highly Compressed PS1 Games: A Technical Analysis and Solution"

In the early 2000s, game publishers began re-releasing classic games on new platforms, often using lossy compression algorithms to reduce file sizes. This allowed for more games to be stored on a single medium, such as a DVD or digital download. However, the compression ratios used were often extreme, resulting in significantly reduced audio and video quality.
