NOTE:
This will work for
Ultimate Edition and standard edition game + all DLC's installed if you follow my instructions. Also, the serials aren't necessary to play the game so you can input them yourself in the registry if you want. You need to update the game to version 1.05
Ultimate Edition conversion
1. Extract attachment somewhere on your computer,
NOT in the game installation directory
2. Delete all unwanted languages from
Code:
modules\single player\audio\vo
packages\core\audio\vo
packages\core_ep1\audio\vo
3. Run
compressor.bat, enter game path and wait
4. Go to
My Documents\Bioware\Dragon Age and compress with
FreeArc (
-m0 compression) everything from this folder, except
Characters folders, to
Data7.cab. Move
Data7.cab to your
DAO_3 folder.
5. Make ISO files or test from HDD before burning
Standard edition + all DLC's installed
Since the standard edition game installs all its content to the
My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\addins folder unlike
Ultimate Edition, which installs it in the game folder, there is a small difference between these two conversions. Bear with me
