It has nothing to do with method you used.

If you use split feature with ultraarc, you should have 2 x game size free

sied 20-12-2018 13:39

hi kaktor.


so do you mean if the original size 67gb splitted with ultraARC the result will be 22 gb needed free space on drive c = 134 GB?

example game shadow of tomb raider

KaktoR 20-12-2018 13:45

Only if you use treshold=100 (which I recommend because output will be smaller).

If you leave it on 30 (standard) then it's not the x2 size of the game (it depends on size then)

I'm trying to make complete Arkham Asylum with all DLCs. Been using ISCAB, but the damn thing gives me a headache. Every time I get an error message I also get layout.bin with 0B.
When I finally removed and replaced files, tried to put additional files and directories inside. Ended up with empty cab files now.
Is there a program that can manipulate InstallShield cabinet files like i6comp did? No way I'm gonna start this all over with ISCAB.

But I don't see how to edit MSI database, since there isn't one.
Sorry, maybe I should've been more specific. There is data1.hdr and 5 cab files.
Probably done with InstallShields InstallScript (no MSI) Project.

But now, i can't. I have this message :

Is it normal?

I can't open the Devil May Cry HD Collection thread because it shows the same access error posted above.

It has been removed due to a DMCA request.

If you (or anyone else) clicks on a non-working link in the Index, then PM me the link and I may be able to help you out. ;)

Hi
Is there any forum or topic to ask for converters?
I couldn't find some converters like "Deliver Us The Moon" and "Chernobylite"

You can request game Conversions HERE in the Requests Thread. It does not guarantee they will be made but you can ask and hope that someone does create it for you. Follow the instructions in the first post and supply all the details needed.

I'm trying to do my first conversion on a game in my Steam library. I've installed it and applied a NoCD fix. Now I am trying to set up the _CommonRedist for it, but it's using Steam's integrated redistributables. How can I find out what redist I need to download and include?

WaltonSimons 09-11-2021 22:16

Example:

https://steamdb.info/app/1712840/depots/

228982 VC 2008 Redist 9.24 MiB Shared InstallDepot from 228980
228983 VC 2010 Redist 18.37 MiB Shared InstallDepot from 228980
228984 VC 2012 Redist 13.11 MiB Shared InstallDepot from 228980
228990 DirectX Jun 2010 Redist 98.16 MiB Shared InstallDepot from 228980

As you can see, looking up Depots of any given appid on SteamDB will net you a list of those if any Redists are required.

Furjack 27-01-2022 09:36

which programming language is used to repack a game???

Jarmen_Kell 12-04-2022 08:35

Hey Guys. Do anyone knows a good method for compressing .ebo and .pbo files? For a compression method for Arma 3.

KaktoR 12-04-2022 09:45

I think the files are encrypted

I don't think so. Fitgirl Compressed 110GB files of Arma 3 near 50% (instead of about 10% of methods I tested)

KaktoR 12-04-2022 12:36

I don't know. Last time I checked was some years ago.

Maybe search on xentax or zenhax

Tigru 08-03-2023 03:17

Hey, I've been testing several compression methods for each game but it's taking me way too long to find the best method per game. So far I've found lolz and lzma/lzma2 to be the best compressors. Does anyone know the single best compression method I should use to compress most games at a relatively small size?

Tigru 08-03-2023 05:07

I forgot to mention that I'm using DiskSpan GUI.

Ra7eN 18-04-2023 14:54

Compression vs Conversion
 
Hey guys, I'm looking for a section on here that has tutorials for converting files like shrinking WAV or BIK files. I have some tools already, but I'm hoping to find better ways to use them, and maybe some new tools as well. I've been looking through some threads, but it seems like most of them are talking about compression, which isn't exactly what I'm looking for. Do I need to keep digging or am I in the wrong place?

Thanks!

KaktoR 19-04-2023 08:40

We have at least one topic here which describes how to reencode bink files, if I'm not mistaken.

Stefcho 01-01-2024 19:37

New to repacking
 
So I am completely new to game repacking. And I want to learn how it is done. What do I use to archive the games into .bin files? What do I use to extract those bin files? How do I find the right tools to start my repacking journey?
