You'd have to hack the 1ST_READ.BIN and hook the Katana GD-ROM reading libraries with ones that have decompression support in order to do that. This would be less than trivial. In other words, if you have to ask how it was done, you're not going to be able to do it.

Tell me how to do so and I'll do it...
I might not be the only-oneI know wishing to make a SOA-Style rip of ShenmueII and wich may really got the skillz do DO so, but not really to find how to ... got no free time ... (school ...)

I'd like if you elaborate a lil' more about bounding the reading bins of the 1st_read.bin to a bin with decompression in it, couldn't we simply create a new bootbin(a.k.a. cracktro) which would link the read request and the compressed files and uncompress the files on the fly before reading it? The files being compressed in a sh-4 based format ... for better performances
I always though *A certain group* did it this way...
