.ace files...

[BOT]

Interesting to see you 'tracked' down the forums, wouldn't it have been as easy to do a search on Gamecopyworld, there are enough exlanations about ace files there, and when doing a search on google for 'ace' and then searching within the returned posts for 'compression' the very first response was a link to the site where to get the relevant decompression program from.
Now these are the clues as to the method of searching.
Probably a lot quicker that your tracking down of these forums.
