RE4 GameCube location compression

[TTEMMA]

Hi.
At the moment I'm trying to disassemble the compression into Resident Evil 4 on the Gamecube.
There is a complex and not understandable compression. At the beginning of the decompression, the game generates a table.
It stores items from 0 to 0x500, but the number of each number is divided in a strange way. For example, if value < 0x300 (for example, 0x012C) then the table will record 26(0x1A) items with a value of 0x012C. If value > 0x300 (for example, 0x0400) the table will record 25(0x19) items with a value of 0x0400.

Decompression is even stranger, each byte is decompressed by 4 bytes from the compressed file (4 bytes are divided into a flag that is built dynamically and is not stored in a compressed file).

I ask for help with mastering the compression algorithm, perhaps, in my description, you saw some familiar compression algorithm for yourself.

Thank You

Can you provide some sample files of the game that use this compression?

Compressed data start from 0x20, compressed size and decompressed contain in first 0x20 bytes

No idea about what would be the algorithm and moreover about what decompressed data we should expect.

Okay, i upload 2 files:
r100.bin - compressed
r100decoded.bin - decompressed

Maybe this help you
