I'm sorry for asking potentially dumb question...

I have a big collection of games, some of them taking a lot of space, so I'm trying to see if I can repack a few of them. I'm doing this for my self, not for the purpose of releasing or posting on any sites/forums.

I usually would just use FreeArc, WinUha, 7z etc. But some of the games I have would not get compressed at all or the compression would not be very efficient. So I've become curious about how people actually "repack" stuff and discovered this site. However, cannot find a clear and simple solution on the subject of how to unpack what's been packed with DiskSpan or UltraArc

I've used DiskSpan GUI to repack a game. I used xlib+srep+lzm, which seems to be producing much better compressions results than any other method I've tried.

Now I have these files: Data1a-01.bin -> Data1a-05.bin and a Setup.dll

How do I make the installer script unpack those files? Simply placing the .bin files besides the setup.exe doesn't do anything at all.

I'm at loss here
