@willywilly: can be protected to avoid what you try to do.

@snu66l3s: great yoiu make it fit into a DVD5. Just one thing: delete the credits.bik cause it will crash the game as soon as is displayed. I try with the intro (1 frame only) and the game crash; if the fali doesn't exists it will continue.

No, already tried it in game, have to say that's it's not 1 frame. it's, a little bit more.

Here's the file (it's your converted video cutted down to 44 frames with RAD Video Tools): Attachment 529

OK. the game must check if at least can play 1 sec. video (44 frames can make that 1 sec.).

now... let play with RAD - just for fun :)
if you set to compress video as grayscale & the scaling type to low quality and compress the audio to 99% and 8 bit mono you'll get a 10.4k file.
if you resize the file to 102x57 (10x less than actual size) you get a 8.98k file.
its almost 6x shorter than your file. can reduce it to 1 pixel size and the game be able to play it? - am going to try latter. lol.

Copy the files in the DVD to a folder (name it GRID for exemple - name doesn't matter) on your Disk.
Extract the files downloaded from this address (182MB) to that folder
Run REMOVE.BAT - it will delete the US videos from GRID as well as the audio files for the languages: French, German, Italian and Spanish
<wait 'til finished>
Run REPLACE.BAT - it will add the videos in the Video folder to the installation.
<wait 'til finished>
Remove the files ISCAB.EXE, MEDIABUILD40.DLL and ISTOOL.DLL
:edit: delte the video folder also
Create a new folder to store the crack/mini-image (find it in GCW) and it's done!

Burn the folder content into a UDF DVD (data2.cab is 4GB)
Install and Play!

REMOVE.BAT don't do it his work, cmd here are not anymore in the list right mouse button sinds service pack 3

Run "cmd" or get a decent file manager (FAR Manager or Total Commander).

you must rename it.
I don't update my post.

Yes, you must rename the folder "videos" to "video" before run REPLACE.BAT

Guys, would anyone please tell me how do i control iscab to split 2 cab files equally?
example 1 6GB .cab file to 2 (3GB) files? instead of 4GB

@nando2002: Is there any chance to also fit patch 1.1 on DVD5?
Thanks

nando2002

19-06-2008 13:04

the patch is 188MB + 12MB for the crack = 200MB
its too much to fit in the DVD5 conversion even if you remove the videos (intro & credits - the others are used inside the game) and the DirectX it won't fit.
I've tried to include the patch inside the installation - after you install you get v1.1 instead of v1.0 - but there are new files included in the patch (which oversized the installation) and the setup gives me error when installing and I give up.
Too much work for a patch (and this patch has new bugs they may fix in another patch).

To answer your question: no, there's no chance to include such big file into the DVD5 conversion.
