Fabrice Bellard released the original LZEXE v0.91 source code under the MIT license.
The compressor logic is implemented in x86 assembly and its frontend in Pascal for maximum performance.
This released code may not exactly match the version used in Mega Drive Sonic games due to historical bugs.
Developers can disassemble and compare the executables with the source to reproduce specific compressor behaviors.
With this release, two of the four KENS format compressors now have available source code: Kosinski and Saxman.
