you did the same as others here did, you replaced the dummy files then compressed the folder. thats why its 1.9GB.. go back & start over again.

BEFORE you start #3, DO step#4. people cant read

4) Start FREEARC browse game's folder after installation, or directly from DVD9 select:


Choose either the already installed game folder OR direct from DVD9, start freearc compress the needed files THEN do step #3 ( replace dummy files )
then to step #5.

Plain English to prevent errors when using this brilliant method!

Many thanks

When the compression is done, there are all language ;)

Bye

Thanks very much "peterf1999" keep them up ...

100% working ... Tested on W7 64Bit...

this worked for me 100% with crack too, thank's
 

Another choice to get it work with one DVD.
Thank you, Meathos13 and the original from peterf :)
It's tested and work 100%. :D

Don't use Crack/s
 

All I did was simplify the syntax...

"But Thanks! Anyway"

Thank You Peterf1999 for being intelligent enough to make the files and write the instruction in the first place!!!


Don't use Crack/s

@peterf1999:
it worked for me on Win XP/Vista/7...thank u very much
could u share with us what changes u made in the .dat file as I'm new to all the msi editing and I'm liking it very much...if u cud share what u did here it would be very nice...thank you

also, what is the .dlt file and what is xdelta3.0???

xdelta is a binary diff program, see here: http://xdelta.org.

ohh, so xdelta is a patching tool, right??
can anyone tell me exactly what this command does, i tried to find it online but couldn't!
xdelta3.0 -d -v -fs autorun.dat NFSS.dlt "autorun patched.dat"

Right.

Apply a patch (-d for decode) called "NFSS.dlt" (first filename = input) to "autorun.dat" (value of -s for source, not a stand-alone filename!), resulting in "autorun patched.dat" (last filename = output) which is to be overwritten (-f for force overwrite), and be verbose (-v for verbose) about the process.

(Yes, the command line syntax of this software is not trivial, it's somehow quite confusing...)

Thanks for clearing it out...but I still have doubts.
So, here, does the command decode "autorun.dat" or "nfss.dlt" ??
the source is "autorun.dat", i guess ??
what is the need to force overwrite the file, can't we just write it? :confused:
What is a .dlt file and how do we create it?

xdelta3.0 -e -fs oldfile newfile deltafile (create delta diff. bin file)
xdelta3.0 -d -fs oldfile deltafile newfile (apply the bin patch)

-f if it already present overwrite it

the source is always the oldfile

@peterf1999
Thank you very much, I now understood evrything and thanx for telling all the commands (now I can create patches too...yippee)
Also, I compared the patched file and the original file, but I didn't find a line that said to extract "NFSS_arc.exe"...all I could find was a line that was added to unpack an "exe".
I have attached the differences between both patched and original files.
