Need you !
 

Hello everyone,
I need advice, information because I am a novice.
To start and learn, I want to use:
Black Box v2 to make installer and ultraArc to generate * .bin files
I have :

• Black Box v2
• UltraArc R2 Edition v2.8.0.0 Final Rev. 06/15/2017
• InnoSetup

My question for UltraArc:
I want to make * .bin files for DVD9, BD25 or more, what settings are needed in UltraArc to make * .bin files DVD9, BD25 or more?

In advance thank you for your detailed and clear answers to allow me to understand.
Warmest regards,
Titeuf

Ummm, UltraArc.ini

Hello KaktoR,
Thank you for your reply.
I just read this post: For ThresholdPercent =
Is what I have to put this?
thank you,
Titeuf

For DVD5 if game is under 4480 then threshold can be set to 100, same for dvd9/bd25

to calculate firstvolumesize, setup.exe + autorun.inf, + setup.ico + (commonredists, if they exist and you want to install them before installing game.) subtract that total from customvolumesize. That's the number you put in firstvolumesize, works for all sizes.

Hi Pakarat2k2,
Ok and thank you

Hello,
Excuse me for this up but please, tell me which tools (latest version) to use to make repacks.

Because even if your excellent forum to a lot, a lot of information, I'm lost!
Every tool I use when I ask a question, the answer is: "this is no longer used since ..."

For me the ideal,
To make installers with a tool (simple to use, to better understand) and create bin files of the size DVD9, DB25 or even DB50 because I want to create 1 single iso (per game) to store them on one Of my synology.

In advance I am sorry to disturb you but I am completely lost.
Thank you for your great patience with me,
Warmest regards,
Titeuf

Hi Titeuf,

The reason you normally get the response "this is no longer used since ..." is mainly because not all installers support UltraARC, Only a few scripts/installers support this and unfortunately BlackBox v2 is not one of them.

Secondly, since I'm not the only one who manages the UltraARC thread, sometimes it's pakrat2k2, new members like you for example don't get what's really going on, what version works with what version, for example. This Ultra2800 is not done by me and it has very little support when it comes to the number of scripts that work with it. I think 2800 only works for CIU scripts. There is also 2700, also not by me, I normally remove old versions to avoid confusion but there you go, that's the reason for a lot of new guys not getting what the eff is going on so it's wise to check when the script was last modified to see what version of UltraARC is best to download or to work with, most of the stuff that was modified in 2015-2016 and beginning of 2017 work with UltraARC2400, any modified scripts after that, like in mid 2017, they have to be ultraarc that is after 2400.

Anyways, I listed a few installers that support UltraARC:

http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=96901 //Edit: Try this installer for BlackBox v2, I think I did add UltraARC support for this.

PS: If you like simple installers, use the one included in "UltraArc 2800 R2 Edition".

@Titeuf

Those posted by Razor are only 10% existing in this forum.

Any installer can be modified according to your needs Ultra Arc or not.

Your idea is misleading, there is nothing simple, and nothing difficult, but if you do not begin to analyze script codes for understand their concept of operation, you will never get what you want.

Hello everyone,

Thank you all for your answers, it helps me well and I continue to read the messages and especially the one above Razor12911 from your precious forum.

To all agree, I do not blame the excellent work you do here!

But I try to understand things and learn is what I love.
Thanks also to all of your patience with me, I just search to do as you all: beautiful install and beautiful repacks.

Thank you again for your help.

I have another question (excuse me) this relates to the UltraArc.ini file knowing that I want to the end of the compression 1 file * .bin,

For :
I have to put what?

For :
To have a * .bin of type DB25 or DB50, should not it be deleted or modified?

Finally for:

Always to make 1 single bin file, I have to put what?

I am still sorry to disturb you with my questions and in advance, once again, thank you for your patience.

Warm greetings to all of you,
Titeuf

I'm going crazy, I do not understand what's going on !

Titeuf:

VolumePrefixeName = ( whatever label you want for the dvd label ( keep it short, this also applies to what the name of the output folder will be This name MUST include _ at end of name.
As UltraArc will add number to end of label ( for each additional dvd it creates until end of compression )

Example game: game size is 16GB, no compression output would be 4 dvd's, VolumePrefixeName dvd_1, dvd_2, dvd_3, dvd_4. The _1 - _4 was auto generated by ultraarc, when it compress game.

For cdimage I just leave blank & use other software to burn image to dvd.

LabelPrefixName = same as Volumeprefixname. UA will add # to each additional dvd as required.

To make 1 single bin file Set threshold percent at 100. It's the only you forgot to set.
