How To Make A Maxi Image?

i keep seeing them popping up,they are called maxi images,they are a super compressed version of the original game...like 4gb compressed to 122kb and you mount the rar file,and the game starts...works with battlefront 2 and others.

i think this would be the ideal way of getting tiger woods 2006 to work without a disc,by compressing teh courses disc like this.

dont get me wrong,maxis are blank clones,so it is not like i am downloading a full image of a game.

just a blank version of it.

but while im on the subjext,if it is that easy to compress 4gb to 122kb,imagine the prospects..you could do this to your entire game collection,and put them all on to one dvd if it is possible to do it with real games and not just blank clones.

MiniImages are not working with Securom, only Safedisc...
But Maxi Images are universal..

well, mini images are made by doing a normal / real image and filling the image with zero data...
SD and SecuRom look for the files, they can find them, but they will not (not yet !!) look what the file looks like/what it contains...
so they find teh files which are just dummys...
the only problem is making the data in the image to zero data...
that's the point where i suddenly got stuck :P
