Dead Space (DVD9 to 2x DVD5)
 

Dead Space (DVD9 to 2xDVD5)

1) Create temp folders

Dead Space
Dead Space2

2) Copy DVD content to 'Dead Space'

3) Download correct ds-autorun.7z for your version and extract it into 'Dead Space', overwrite when asked

ds-autorun-v2.7z Multi6 (English UK/US, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Russian)
ds-autorun-m4-v2.7z Multi4 (English UK/US, Spanish, French)
ds-autorun-m2-defr-v2.7z Multi2 (French, German)
ds-autorun-m2-esit-v2.7z Multi2 (Spanish, Italian)

4) Move 'ch01-ch12' folders from 'Dead Space' to 'Dead Space2'

5) Copy autorun.inf and DS_48.ico from 'Dead Space' to 'Dead Space2'

6) Edit autorun.inf in 'Dead Space2' and change open=AutoRun.exe to open=0

7) Burn or make isos with labels Dead Space and Dead Space2

Install Sequence: DVD1-DVD2-DVD1

Conversion: cdvirus
Modified files: ravd

NOTE: depending which program you use for making your backups, there will be one problem with missing files and that is thumbs.db files
in Support folder which are included in install progress in autorun.dat, some programs doesn't include automatically "hidden system files"
and installer will error about missing thumbs.db if these aren't also in your backup disk.

Don't remove these from autorun.dat or some languages won't work (can't apply transform)

Fix: If using ImgBurn then check these boxes before making iso in Options tab, "Include Hidden Files" and "Include System Files".

If you want to edit autorun.dat yourself, then you find info how to edit embedded mst's in this link (knowledge of using orca is needed)
Tutorials: Useful tools, freeware programs, scripts etc

@ravd, i've try it and it works, now there's a disk prompt.... nice work, thx :D

tested with Multi6 English. working 100% fine

Thanks ravd for this wonderful trick! My Multi 6 works flawless! I m an absolute n00b into DVD/CD conversion but ur process makes it absolutely simple for me!

One change ravd...

Multi 6 works, but I had to change the autorun.inf, from Disk=1, to Disk=2...

Than no problems...Cheers..

Thanks ravd.
Tested Multi6 version on XP Pro whit SP3.
Work just fine.

Thanks
 

Thanks ravd. Post #1 works perfect for Multi6 DVD. :)

Thank you very much for the conv ravd, works flawlessly!

Wow... 1 dvd5 only??? That is awesome!
But already using first post, and it works perfectly!!! Thanks ravd!

You should try the conversion DVD9 to 1 DVD5. It works very well!

@ShadowLh, make sure dvd2 label is: Dead Space2 (dvd1 label: Dead Space)

Not Dead Space 2 or other variation, it must be exactly Dead Space2

label is very important for recognizing dvd

I've created a nice little INNO script for this game, similar to what mondragon did in brothers in arms: hell's highway. If you would like to use this script to compress your game, you'll need to first download and install....

INNO Setup quickpack : http://files.jrsoftware.org/ispack/ispack-5.2.3.exe
ISSI : http://members.home.nl/albartus/issi/ISSI-Setup.exe

*ISSI needs to be installed to c:\program files\ISSI*

Download and extract the contents of my script to your c:\ drive. Then open up DeadSpace.iss in the extracted folder (should be c:\DeadSpace\Deadspace.iss) and read the notes at the top of the script.

Download here : Attachment 1350

~Enjoy!

Post#1, Multi6 works perfect! Thanks

Use Multi6 (English UK/US, Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Russian) msi from conversion. Multi5 or 6 is same thing, i just named it multi6 because there was separate mst files for US and UK

Thanks you brother. Works for me!
