How To Make A Maxi Image?

[caki]

Like Joe said, for the Safedisc DVD's just keep the first megabyte and the last megabyte there, 00 everything else. For safedisc CD's, just look for patterns that if erased give you an invalid image. Then, keep those patterns in the final image, and its all good. Unforuneatley, I find the DVD maxi images to be more useful because when they are compressed by windows compression, they are around 2 MB, while safedisc CD's can range from 5MB-50MB

Ok. Thanks for your Help.
I try now to make an Maxi-Image for the CD-Version of NFS MW.
I got it so far that it is about 150 Megs compressed (and game starts).
I logged with Bushound that the last sector is 272805 (641637360 bytes in image) which is checked.
But the image is 811534080 bytes large.
So my problem is if i fill the last 150 Megs the image isnt mounted anymore!
How can I solve this Problem?

//edit: Using Trial and Error and Ultraiso i shrinked it to 12,5MB
Here have a look at it and if you want you can upload it to GCW

//edit2: I have just created a Maxi Image for Quake 4. 336 KB. Thanks for your support!!

Heh yeah, trial and error. How long did it take you, out of curiosity??

Oh, the Trial and Error period went about 2 hours until i took Ultrasio where is written at which sector a file starts and when it ends so that i could delete all files which are not read when a cd is insert like the cab files of direct x.

All in all i would say it took about 3 hours...
