Tell me how to do so and I'll do it...
I might not be the only-oneI know wishing to make a SOA-Style rip of ShenmueII and wich may really got the skillz do DO so, but not really to find how to ... got no free time ... (school ...)

I'd like if you elaborate a lil' more about bounding the reading bins of the 1st_read.bin to a bin with decompression in it, couldn't we simply create a new bootbin(a.k.a. cracktro) which would link the read request and the compressed files and uncompress the files on the fly before reading it? The files being compressed in a sh-4 based format ... for better performances
I always though *A certain group* did it this way...
