packcmd = xtool e

recomp:t100p,c128m:zlib - <stdin> $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

according to my endless debug with Zee this one is the best way to avoid some problems

the file will have to be copied only once before srep actually takes it in. but its best in terms of debuggery

Not a good time/output ratio if you ask me

But I'm not a repacker who share his stuff

Therefore, for me 4x4:lzma is the best in time/output ratio in most cases. I just use lolz for testing stuff anyway.

No, AWB is a lossy format so even when you extract the wav audio, there's no way you can patch it back.

27.2GB -----> 13.2GB

Code:

for movie folder, use

Code:

srep+lzma

15.1GB ---> 9.6GB

MV059.bin and MV060.bin are credits videos, so you can rip them to give you a final of 9.1GB.
