don´t mind. mine works too! i just wanted to share my experience with the others to get this game down on a dvd5 recordable. of course i can´t give you any guarantees of success. i don´t even know, if there´s a us-retail version with other stuff on it. and btw. i looked at your conversion method and i find it some kind of strange. you´re ripping more off of the game as you need to. it´s on everyone´s personal belongings how to cut-off things to fit on a dvd5. but for it´s way too much.

Hi Friend's..!

Firstly i'd like to say I love this small proggy.!
What else i'd like to say is if I open the data1.cab file does this file
automaticly correspond with the remaining..!

Also Thank You For The Hint..! Keep It Up.

i´ve heard from various ppl, that the ripping of the language content didn´t worked or ran into a crc failure during installation.

i would only recommend version 2.31 for doing it. if it´s still not working for you, do it the cmd line way. for me (and a lot other pals) it worked very nice and is still working. i´ve tried to recreate the problem others have and i couldn´t find any information that i´ve missed in my conversion manual.

just try the installation from the temp dir after you´ve ripped stuff out before you waste a recordable!

I know this conversion is exactly a CD2DVD conversion but with some of the CD2DVD conversions if you install from the temp directory it will almost always work but once it is burned to a CD it will not! So sometimes just because it works from the temp directory doesnt mean it will work from the CD/DVD. Best to burn onto a RW to do the test.

it really depends on the setup routine. every cd/dvd conversion i did with installshield routines ran 100% from a temp directory and on a silver. i just mentioned it, because a lot of ppl had problems after creating an .iso and than burned it directly. it´s just a hint before wasting a silver AND time!

And what am I ripping off more than I need to??..........

I removed the language data (don't need that)

I removed the foreign Acrobat readers and manuals (why would I want that?)

I removed the foreign Video's (why on earth would I need them?)

I removed the foreign .txt files (no need for them!)

So how did I rip off more than i needed to??

I left the 'Directx' intact (probably don't need that either!)

I created another folder for 'patches' and added the 19Mb patch....

I really do not see whats been ripped out that should have been left???....
