Bionic Commando DVD9 to 1xDVD5 precomp+srep+lzma+CIU 1.0.0.6
 

hi guys, here I left you my newest conversion from an oldie but entertaining game.

Like always I use CIU 1.0.0.6 from yener90 all the credit and thx to him for his script.

I use a base .bat file from fabioddq so Thanks him as well and to peterf1999 for his method.

Instructions

1- Install the game

2- Download attached file and decompress wherever you want (not in game folder)

3- Move from your installed game folder to DVD1:
4- Launch compress.bat and wait (aprox. 40 minutes)

5- Test the conversion, burn or make iso.

Final Size=4.2GB

looks great, wish i had time, patience to do something this well, ive tried but never looks very good. :o

i've added the file as attachment here, rather then 3rd party site. ;)

is it any chance for 2xdvd5? thx

look in compress.bat for
-w.\ -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

replace each compression string with -w.\ -m0
( -m0 = no compression ) test & see if results will fit on 2xdvd5.

why would you want an extra dvd anyways ? Conversion as it is fits on 1xdvd5 ??

thx pakrat i will try it
i want 2xdvd5 because i believe it has better installation time speed :D
usually high compression take a long time installation :)

1xdvd5 install time= 8 minutes.

What i missed ?

Make sure you have this files on your dvd1 folder:

and when you make the iso make sure that is on UDF

only multiplayer filer is removed ,but this error appear whean i launch autorun.exe or setup.exe

did you edit data1.lst & remove them from there as well as from gamefolder ?

I removed them ( Multiplayer Files ) from game & Data1.lst, did conversion
& installs / uninstalls perfectly fine.

why？

You try to launch from the created folder or you make the iso?

I tried both ways as well, & ran perfectly fine here. It's something on his end. AV, bad ram ??

For those who have the runtime error try removing the file setup.ini (dont delete) just move to another folder. And try to run the installer. And remember that the Iso file has to be on UDF file system.

this launcher was really awesome,but the prob is whenever i installing it after compressing it is taking only 4.85 g.b. and the game is not running,showing bionic commando has stopped working,though before compressing the original setup's installation was running successfully...please help me out

uninstalled original version, then installed from conversion files ? AND also installed any of the pre-requisites as well ( if on new PC ) ?

no,i vnt tried to install on another pc,but on my pc,uninstalled the original version,completely cleared all the reg entries,and den installed from the conversion files,bt could make it work,pls help me with it,coz i really liked the launcher and the installer UI

I am getting issue in Data3.cab compression! Stucking @ 10.1% !!! I think Data3.cab size should not even more than 500MB! What this batch is doing by creating 5GB temp files???

Thanks, conversion is working fine!
But now the application is not launching! :(

Worked only when i deleted setup.ini file like spawniectes suggested.

Thanks alot man, Great work

EDIT:
------------
Ok just retested (I wanted to play, but i have a problem now).

Game installs, but refuses to start (like AllGames mentioned). So i compared to original and noticed that there was about a gig of files missing, then i checked all Data*.cab files and noticed that the files inside Data3.cab were not extracting.

Gonna remake conversion by squeezing all files in only 2 cab files instead of 3. Hope it works. (Just btw, i tested the conversion multiple time before and it worked great and now refuses to do so)


EDIT 2:
---------
Game works now fine with only 2 cab files. Tested on multiple computers.
