THANKS mviking...
work 100%....

[mviking]

mviking
wtf ?

Is it possible to show DISK number in behind "Please insert disk" dialog ?


http://img3.immage.de/3001e0e1.jpg

Yes.

[Smurf Stomper]

Pakrat:

So, the only .DAT files used for an english installation of the game are

DS2DAT2.DAT
DS2DAT3.DAT
DS2DAT4.DAT
DS2DAT5.DAT

I can remove the other .DAT files and not encounter issues on an english install? Would be nice to just have a single dvd9 of this game...

I'm using the EN/FR version of it, btw.

[pakrat2k2]

make a dummy file for whatever dat files your not using. Either that or edit the installer
and remove the references to other language from it.

[Smurf Stomper]

Attached is an alternate dvd icon and autorun picture, since the stock ones were kinda boring IMO.

[PenaPP]

Thx mviking for 3xDVD5 :)

Smurf Stomper: Maybe I did some mistake, but your version doesn't work to me :confused:

[pleomax]

GODZYLLA conversion worked 100%. :)

[s3bastian]

Thanks Mviking :)
Works perfectly XP SP 3

[unREAL2011]

2xDVD9 to 3xDVD5



work with window 7 (64bit) thank you :)

[Smurf Stomper]

No. My conversion is 2xDVD9 to 1xDVD9. There are various other DVD5 conversions around here, though.

Dvd name can be anything you like with my conversion, just create an entry in autorun.inf via notepad that looks like this:

Label=Dead Space 2

[adriano123]

2xDVD9 to 3xDVD5



Works fine in Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits. Thanks!

[alexandr frei]

2xDVD9 to 3xDVD5






TESTED WORKS IN WIN 7 X64

btw, how do you make the Dialog interface : please insert : DISCx ??
teach me bro :D

[GODZYLLA]

@alexandr frei: Well, I'm guessing you know how to change the disk prompt using Orca... If you don't, don't bother reading the next steps, because in this type of conversion you need to do a little extra:

1. extract mst from autorun.dat with msiX (msix filename of MSI /out c:\msicontent)
2. edit and save mst with orca or appeditor
3. remove old mst from autorun.dat with msidb (msidb -d filename of MSI -j filename of MST to remove)
4. insert new modified mst to autorun.dat with msidb (msidb -d filename of MSI -r filename of MST to insert)

[manthi]

thanks it's working
win 7 64

[kikim20dz]

Its not working for me, when he always asks me to insert disc2, it does not advance (Always insert Disc2) ... although I have followed all the steps ... please help me or are the Problem. ..???

[mviking]

Please ... help me ...:)

Using which conversion?

[kikim20dz]

For you (mviking) and GODZYLA....Both conversion did not work ...

[mviking]

For you (mviking) and GODZYLA....Both conversion did not work ...

Must be that you did something wrong somewhere.
Just follow (carefully) steps. Both methods work well.

[kikim20dz]

I tried both method and several times, but still nothing .....

[mviking]

I tried both method and several times, but still nothing .....

Did you use multi2 en,fr version?

[yener90]

Guys seems to be disk label problem.

make sure you kikim20dz entered correct.

[kikim20dz]

Even your your conversion, it is the same (same problem) ..
...????...

[kikim20dz]

Guys seems to be disk label problem.

make sure you kikim20dz entered correct.

Yes, step by step, I tried both conversion, still the same problem ...

[pakrat2k2]

you either have the wrong autorun.dat on disk1, or your dvd labels are wrong.

also go read "How to fix the ‘Not Recognizing DVD2 Problem’. " sticky topic
you may have some leftover from trying to install this so many times.

[kikim20dz]

or your dvd labels are wrong.=??? Pleas Help Me.

[pakrat2k2]

mviking conversion -> uses DISK1, DISK2, DISK3 as DVD LABELS
GODZYLLA conversion -> DVD Labels Disc1, Disc2 and Disc3

Pick 1 Conversion & use it.

reopen your ISO and double check the dvd label.

[kikim20dz]

Thanks, Mr MVIKING and Mr pakrat2k2

[nguyendaiphat]

Now i have problem! (I'm using De-Ru Lang)
http://cB9.upanh.com/19.0.25127138.5Bl0/untitled.png
How i can fix it?
- Update: Now i know it's Multi3. Are there any way without install game and using Inno?

[pakrat2k2]

the conversions in this topic are for the MULTI2 version, which is ONLY EN/FR, so trying to use these conversions on your Multi3 EN/DE/RU version, wont work. so follow the conversion for the multi3 version, there are a few different ones posted here

[BelGiaguaro1980]

can you create or post a guide for version Multi2 Ita/Es (2xdvd9 to 3xdvd5 or preferably 2xdvd9 to 2xdvd5 only ita)?? Thanks :)

P.S. I'm sorry for the language but i'm italian :D

[mviking]

"nguyendaiphat"
"BelGiaguaro1980"

Post your autorun.dat.

[BelGiaguaro1980]

How do I post the file?

[mviking]

How do I post the file?

Compress "autorun.dat" with your archive manager (winrar, winzip...) and use "manage attachments" in "post replay".

[BelGiaguaro1980]

Thanks for the help :) Now you change it?

[pakrat2k2]

Thanks for the help :) Now you change it?

have you even looked thru other posts on this board?? peters conversionfor multi6 works with the multi2 and it already has the autorun for ita only.

I'm sorry, I'm confused with ALVARIX2's guide...So i ask: you can also convert the game to 1xdvd5 only ita??

[pakrat2k2]

no not possible, just follow mviking conversion post #46 for ita language

[BelGiaguaro1980]

ehy boys, the conversion post #46 for ita language not working correctly because during installation appears error message on missing files...how to solve?

[pakrat2k2]

first off tell us what error message you get! AND which files it says missing.

need to know what files it says it's missing.

[pescoxa]

Can someone make a modified autorun.dat for this version?

[pakrat2k2]

pescoxa, thats what the the first post of this topic is based from !

[mviking]

Can someone make a modified autorun.dat for this version?

Use instructions from post #46 and this edited autorun.dat*:
*: Not work Russian language (maybe "pakrat2k2" edit ru.mst)

[BelGiaguaro1980]

whit this autorun.dat the setup will not start but there is an error of Windows Installer. any other ideas?

[mviking]

whit this autorun.dat the setup will not start but there is an error of Windows Installer. any other ideas?

This is for MULTI3 (De,En,Ru) version!

[pescoxa]

@mviking

This autorun works fine in De and En? Why not Ru? I can modify... but I don't know how. I know Orca and MSIX. I know the Media table... The thing that I don't know is what numbers I have to put in the file sequence.

Thanks in advance.

[pescoxa]

@mviking

This is not working... Bad autorun.dat. File not found error.

[pakrat2k2]

file from post #55. Call it Default file (autorun.dat). When no embedded mst file is loaded
the volume labels in media table are Disc1. Load the extracted en-us.mst and the media table then changes to DISK# ( 1-3). ALSO the file sequence rises from 1448 in the Default file, to 1452 with the embedded en-us.mst file loaded.

When loading the DE.mst file again the sequence goes up to 1452 with the exception that file 1327 does not exist in the file table but IS listed in media table, that row can be deleted from it. The disk prompt & volume labels are DISK# ( 1-3), same as en-us.mst BUT again different from the default file.

For the RU.mst the file sequence only goes up to 1451, file 1327 does exist in file table & media table. BUT the disk prompt & volume labels are different from the default file.

The BIGGEST issue is that people have to learn that the default file, MUST have consistant disk prompt & volume labels BEFORE messing around with loading mst files, then those too have to match with the default & any other mst file that gets selected by the user, for language choice. Disk prompt & volume labels MUST match for all choices.

[BelGiaguaro1980]

what error message were you getting ( exactly which files are missing? )

and post screenshot showing each dvd as you have it right now( DISK 1, DISK 2 & DISK 3 ). also post in english only, thats probably why post was deleted, if it wasnt in english.

Please... Someone can help me? :)

I'm try to make a Multi3 (En,Ru,De) 2xDVD9 to 3xDVD5.

The attachments are my source info.

DISK1, DISK2 and DISK3 files.
Error: The error that a I got installing it.
Rar files: The autorun.dat

I've changed everything that I could think.

Post Update: Removed non-working autorun.dat and added woking one (same of #68).

Thanks,

[pakrat2k2]

the error is becasue you have ds2dat3.dat on disk2 its looking for it on another disk.
go back into autorun.dat and find it in the files table, note its sequence #, then goto media table and correct it there. ( look for ds2dat4.dat file in files table it should be right above it in sequence ) They need to be together.

The MEDIA table ONLY needs 3 entries..

Line 1 for whats on DISK1, the ending file sequence number
Line 2 for the 2 files ds2dat3.dat & ds2dat4.dat
Line 3 for all the movie file entries.

I'd post a screenshot showing what it should look like, but the PC its on just went down.
power supply & cpu cooler went.

Orca

The specified transform could not be applied.
---------------------------
OK

[pakrat2k2]

if you extracted the mst files, changed them and reapplied them to the dat file. you cannot read/change the RU mst unless you input the proper codepage for RU lang. Then you load the RU.mst, change it accordingly, generate new transform, save that in different place then original was. CLOSE the dat file, DO NOT save changes. Then replace the changed mst files in the dat file.

glad you understood, now you know how to include the russian language, embedded mst files, for any conversion.

now just go back to your post #64 and delete those rars & include the 'fixed' one from #68

[apollo459]

Thanks

[GJohnny]

make a dummy file for whatever dat files your not using. Either that or edit the installer
and remove the references to other language from it.

Which .DAT files not need from the EN/FR version to have only EN language and smaller install package?

Hey there, I have DS2 in Multi3 I want to convert it to 2xDVD5, so, what is the file listing in this case? (Actually, I only need English language, others are not required)

PS. What do you guys use to edit autorun.dat ?

[sidspyker]

Thank you very much pakrat2k2!!! Working 100% here the MULTI3 EN,DE,RU!

Here is my 1st contribution for this forum: A working autorun.dat for the original 3xDVD5 post (files list in post #64).

What is the file listing in this case? Your images and the instructions from the original 3xDVD5 do not match.

[yrdetraxe]

No. My conversion is 2xDVD9 to 1xDVD9. There are various other DVD5 conversions around here, though.

I know the thread is rather old, but I'm trying to convert DS2 on 1xDVD9.
Everything is alright, it installs fine from the HDD Directory where the files are temporarily stored, (with placeholders for the fr movies and removed ds2dat files) but as soon as I burn to ISO and install from there the installer asks for the second DVD during installation...

Could you perhaps share your autorun.dat for your 2xDVD9 to 1xDVD9 Conversion?

(Ive tried to edit the autorun.dat myself using ORCA but that just corrupts the file and then I can't even install from HDD anymore. :-( )

(Ive tried to edit the autorun.dat myself using ORCA but that just corrupts the file and then I can't even install from HDD anymore. :-( )

first off look in the autorun.inf file for label=bla bla bla.... does it evven have one? AND did you use same label for ISO as temp HDD storage ?
secondly off what languages does your DS2 include?

NEVER burn to disk, before testing install/uninstall that way if errors come up you havent wasted a dvd. Mount the ISO & test it from there to install / uninstall & oncehat works THEN burn the dvds.

[yrdetraxe]

I've followed all instructions, my autorun.inf looks as follows:
[autorun]
open=Autorun.exe
Icon=game.ico
Name=Dead Space 2
Label=Dead Space 2

The Folder has the same name (Dead Space 2) so there is no difference.
And the Version of DS2 is exactly as the topic says. Multi2 Eng & French but I don't need French so I wanted to get rid of these files to fit it all on 1DVD9.

My Problem is that I do not know how to edit the autorun.dat properly to circumvent the need for a 2nd DVD...
For that I would like to get my hands on smurf stompers autorun.dat as he seemed to have created a single DVD9 for the game.

And I didn't waste any DVDs ;-) (...)as soon as I burn to ISO(...)
I've only created an ISO from which I tested. BUt as I said, it didn't work with the ISO...

[pakrat2k2]

try the attached autorun.dat I've removed everything thats NOT english from it. test & reply back if it works, I've also removed the french.mst file as well.

oh, dont forget to rename it like original, i renamed it as I had others in the same folder, to compare. You can use any volume label you want, as in the media table - volume label is blank.

EDIT: oops, after re-checking the autorun.dat I missed some entries, try again with V2

[yrdetraxe]

Unfortunatly it doesn't work.
I get the same Error Message with your autorun.dat that I get when I try to edit my own autorun.dat. :(

It say's
"Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid."

[Smurf Stomper]

Unfortunatly it doesn't work.
I get the same Error Message with your autorun.dat that I get when I try to edit my own autorun.dat. :(

It say's
"Error applying transforms. Verify that the specified transform paths are valid."

I got sick of the constant errors from tampering w/ autorun.dat. So I scripted up a nice little installer w/ inno setup, added fullscreen background pix (widescreen only). Using lzma compression it all barely fits on one dvd9. If you like I can share it w/ you. You'll need to have inno setup & logan's ISSI installed for it to work and have basic knowledge in using them, though.

[pakrat2k2]

SmurfStomper post away, always nice to have another version..

yrdetraxe please try V2 of the file, I missed a few entries, after re-checking it.

[yrdetraxe]

@pakrat:
Sry, still the same error :(

EDIT: It's always good to never give up. :D
I've tried a bit more myself and now it seems I've got it. It installs from ISO, and the ISO is DVD9 Size.
Instead of removing all entries in the Media table I just removed the VolumeLabel from all entries and that seemed to fix (one of) the problems.
Now I just need to tinker some more to get rid of the french movies and language files. ^^

@Smurf Stomper:
Bring it on. ^^

[Smurf Stomper]

Attached is the script, refer to the comments to help you get everything in order before compiling. I made a few revisions to the script & didn't have a chance to test it, just so you're warned. You can use the original game's launcher with this conversion as well.

Also attached is the Conduit Rooms DLC Unlocker, for those who have the game already installed and want to access them. This feature is included as an option in the above script, but I made it separately available for those using alternate conversions or with the original game.

[yrdetraxe]

@Smurf Stomper:
The script works fine. Thx.
Now I got a perfect 1xDVD9 Version of DS2.

[JH_EP]

hello
i have Dead Space 2 Extended Edition which is multi3 (English, Deutsch, and i dont know what is third language)
it is one blueray disk image with total size of 10.1GB
how can i burn it to 3 DVD4GB?

many thanks in advance

[pakrat2k2]

whats listed is the game already installed. you can see by the DLL's that you have DE-EN-RU version of the game.

look for the post above by Smurf Stomper for the files you need, as well as reading thru entire post for info.

[JH_EP]

thanks for response but
I hate home made installers and i want to keep original setup.
and i dont want to delete anything in process

how can i just split it to 3 normal DVD?

i am not sure if this is important but in "movies" folder is only 2 folder with name of "en" and "de"
there is no "ru" folder in "movies" folder

also i have attached a sfv file that contain full file list.

[JH_EP]

some one help me please. :( :( :(

my version is different from post 64!

crc32 of fixed autorun.dat form #64 ---- CA2C8182

[pakrat2k2]

use the dat file in post 68 follow his instructions couple posts up from that to make iso's. of course crc's wont match you change something in the file it changes the crc value.

[JH_EP]

#68 is same as #64
my game is extended edition which is different from normal
and my intact autorun.dat is 2963.5KB while intact autorun.dat of #64 & #68 is 2977KB
my autorun.dat is smaller
i dont think edited autorun.dat of normal dead space 2 work fine on extended edition.

so i think someone should edit my own autorun.dat to make it working normal.

can someone help me?

thanks in advance

[pakrat2k2]

have you even tried to use the files & instructions listed ??
doesn't matter if that autorun.dat is bigger or smaller then what your original is, do what it tells you to & see if it works.

if not don't keep asking for someone to do it for you.

read post 72 on where movies go. for disk2 & 3 autorun.inf
[autorun]
open=0
Icon=game.ico
Name=Dead Space 2

You can add the [Special] section too, if you want just replace the Disk=#
section with 2 & 3 for disk2 , disk3

8. From 'DISK2\Movies\en' move to 'DISK3\Movies\en':

excavation.vp6
vid002-worms.vp6
vt_00_01.vp6
vt_01_01.vp6

unfortunately my game is a single iso
so i dont know which files of "Movies" folder is supposed to be in disk 1 & 2 :(

any help?

[pakrat2k2]

none.

you move the movies folder to disk 2, & from disk 2 movies folder the 4 files you listed get moved to disk3.

[JH_EP]

you are confusing me
what a headache!
i just see that post 72 is related to multi2
and refering to post 64 (which is related to multi3) there is no movies folder in disk 2
i will test it anyway though and report back

[pakrat2k2]

post 64 IS for MULTI3.. look at the dll's. EN/DE/RU

big picture is disk1, smaller picture to right is disk2, small picture at bottom left is disk3. NOT that hard to see, the poster just never said which disk is which. The autorun.dat should work fine as long as you have the same files for each disk, as in the picture.

[JH_EP]

i knew that but clearly that pictures does not indicate what files are included in "movies" folder of disk 1 and 3!
that is my problem

[pakrat2k2]

DISK1 Image Directly below.
DISK2 Image Below Right
DISK3 Image Bottom Left

Movies Folder on DISK1 Contains only ealogo.vp6, in BOTH EN & DE subfolders. The Rest of them are all in Movies folder on DISK3.

Attatched below is WORKING autorun.dat for EN-DE-RU extended edition. Hopefully I never have to touch this again :D ;)

Think its the same file, look at the date stamp... todays date !!!

[JH_EP]

there is no right or left
i see tree pictures below one-another!
so top one which havea lot of files is DISK 1
and middle one which have no folder is DISK 2
and that one with crack folder is DISK 3
right?

also if i keep both "ealogo.vp6" files then size of "movies" folder (disk 1) will be double of what is shown in picture!

[pakrat2k2]

yes that's right, still fits on disk1, & installs correctly AND is updateable.. only thing that was changed is install sequence
& size of dvd's.

anyways im done with this.

[JH_EP]

i did as you said now after ~33% progress setup asks for disk 2
after mounting disk 2 and pushing OK button it give me same error
i even mounted disk 3 and same happend
what a stupid setup

what is wrong?:confused:

[pakrat2k2]

well for 1 the DVD Labels are wrong. They should be DISK1, DISK2, DISK3
then it will install correctly.

[JH_EP]

tested right now installed with 3 iso BUT not 100%
at least it missing "movies\de\ealogo.vp6" after installation with 3 iso

do you know what is problem?

[pakrat2k2]

did you install german version of game, if not, that's why its not there. it installs English files for English version of the game, & german files for german version of the game, not both.

[JH_EP]

it installs videos of both language actually
anyway thanks for your help
i have divided my iso eventualy
