NFS Most Wanted Mini/Maxi Image?

[DeathFox]

I know theres a maxi imgae on gamecopyworld.com but its for the DVD and its too big, does anyone know if theres a maxi image of the CD 1 of the NFS MW CD Version? Thanks

[jhuk]

It aint too big if you read the thread (loads them about this game), do as it says and its under 2MB.

I give you a hint.

"Here this is from my other posting:

"I grabbed that nodvd out other day here ( http://m2010.gamecopyworld.com/download.php?d=2005&f=NFSMW-MINI!rar ), its like 858+KB but extracts to 1.74gig (we know its not really this size but all filled with 0's but windows sees it as this size so takes it out your HDD space), anyhow do as that peep told me and compress it using the windows compression option and REBOOT PC, then its back to tiny file, mount in daemon tools V4 and play game (i dont need to hide daemon now, not sure if you will)"

"BTW i have legit 4CDR version from 17th Nov"

So basically you will then have tiny file of 1.23MB (ondisk size) on your HDD (only once you compress and reboot), and if your lucky like me you may not need hide daemon V4 anymore"

Sorry dude, but that didnt work I already checked the Compress contents to save disk space option and rebooted but it still is the same size.

Well, then I'm sorry, but the only way is to use the maxi image. You could compress it and decompress it only when you need it....

[hyakkii]

its not the same size ( look at my post here http://fileforums.com/showthread.php...461#post304461 ) the filesize will always show full size of the image.

You can make your own maxi-images with programs such as Alcohol 120% or CloneCD using your original disk to make the image.

Uhm, any information in this thread that is not covered by the FAQ already...?

[jhuk]

You 100% sure, it works for me and others, are you actually checking HDD space before you even unrar file you grabbed here, then after unrar, compress, reboot or you going by text in the properties ?

BTW there is 2 mini images, im sure i got bottom one in list.

Hyakkii, I dont agree on the not needing reboot part, my pc is plenty fast and so is its SATA 16MB 300gig HDD, but i had to reboot even after 5 hours it hadnt changed size (i couldnt reboot as i was using pc till then), this was all from help from a peep here.

JOE stoap moaning thats twice you said that in here and thread linked to above (who the f00k reads FAQ's or RULE's anyhow), your like a broken down record player, i did state at top it was covered alsewhere, but im not going to sit here and see some peep stuck.

@jhuk: In a few years/decades, you will understand that your time is much more precious than to waste it by answering the same question again and again and again, to every newbie who comes around...

As for not reading the forum rules, there's absolutely no excuse for that. Also, I didn't spend almost half a day already with collecting information into the FAQ to see it become a shout in the wind; yes, it annoys me quite much that ignorant people just... well... ignore it.

Well i have nearly 3.5 decades under my belt as im 34 years old, its not a waste of time IMO if i can help peeps, unless ofcoarse they are lamers and have a attitude problem, but he seemed ok.

I help run a irc channel and everyone turneds of the motd, nobody but anal peeps read rules or FAQ's fully, anyone who can say they always do is a liar, cause its human nature to be bit lazy and skip boring parts, anyhow your only one in thread that had bee in bonnet about helping him lol.

@jhuk: Sorry about the age reference, then, as I'm only 31!

I've also been very helpful for many years, as a high school and university student, but then 1) I got a job and the amount of my spare time dropped exponentially and 2) I realized that it shouldn't be me spending my time with answering questions asked directly or indirectly at me, rather the people asking questions should educate themselves more, by reading relevant material on the Net, which is what the Netiquette also suggests. (Yeah, I do read docs and FAQ's, whenever I have time to, because I just love learning new things!)

In my opinion, the very existence of this forum, with the great amount of information contained in it, is already very helpful for newbies, so I see no reason to babysit them even more. With the current, frighteningly low level of education in general, people should learn to learn, otherwise the last generation of knowledgable people will die out in a few decades and the remaining idiots won't know how to do anything!

(Yeah, yeah, I know, it's one of "those" posts of mine again, sorry...)

You told him in an early thread to stop repeating a msg, etc.

And its a public forum, everything you post is subject to reply's and views by other posters.

And yes, when your an MSCE you have this luxury, and owning a store gives you more power with MS, since they want you to sell their software in your store, so they send out beta's for testing and for future sales possibilities.

Its called running a business.
