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.

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.

@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. ^^

Dead Space 2 Inno Script & Conduit Door Unlocker
 

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

my version is different from post 64!

crc32 of my own autorun.dat ----------- 42EFC4C5
crc32 of original autorun.dat form #64 -- A4232C67
crc32 of fixed autorun.dat form #64 ---- CA2C8182

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.

#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

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.

Alright
just tell me how am i supossed to divide "movies" and "support" folders for disc 1 , 2 and 3?
and if i should change autorun.inf for disc 2 and 3, to what?

contents of my autorun.inf
thanks in advance :)

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

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?

none.

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

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

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.

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

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 !!!

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!

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.

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:

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

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?

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.

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

thank you

juarez!!
There's a thank button for that:)
