Saints Row 2 2dvd5

Rewritten version of lukasgames dvd9 to 2xdvd5 guide

the conversion from lukasgames worked ok for me, so I decided to rewrite it using easy language

remember, all thanks go to him, I only rewrite.

1. Install the game. In this conversion we don't operate on the installation disc, but on the folder with installed game.
2. Download and install inno setup compiler http://www.innosetup.com/isdl.php
3. download the files required to conversion:
http://fileforums.com/attachment.php...8&d=1233849870 (lukasgames link)
http://www.sendspace.com/file/axiigz (my mirror)
unpack the archive directly to C: drive, so that your C: drive would contain following directories:

1 (with icon.ico inside)
2
MAX.bmp
MIN.bmp
Saints Row 2.iss

and of course your other files.

4. Go to the location of Saints Row 2 (the installed game) and copy the files from there to folder "1" (only files in Saints Row 2, don't touch the

subdirectories and files in subdirectories)

After that, copy all the folders from Saints Row 2 to folder "2" (with the content of that folders)

Now the folder "1" should look like this:

and folder "2": http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/314/73346608.png

5. Go to C: and right click Saints Row 2.iss, select Open with Inno Setup

find this :
[Languages]
Name: spanish; MessagesFile: compiler:Languages\Spanish.isl

This section determines in what language the installer of game will operate. If you want it to be in English, delete the whole section, then click File>Save.

Close inno setup Compiler.

If you want the installer to be in other language, then go to the directory where Inno Setup Compiler is installed (probably C:\Program Files\Inno Setup 5)

and go to "Languages". The name of files in that folder determine in which languages the installer of Saints Row 2 can operate. If you choose one of them,

copy the name of file and in the Inno setup Compiler, in text "Languages\Spanish.isl" replace "Spanish" with what you have chosen.
You will probably notice that the text contains "Name: spanish" but it doesn't matter, only text that matters is "Languages\Spanish.isl"
Click File>Save and close the program.

6. Right click Saints Row 2.iss and select Compile.
Now the program will start compression. You have to wait 1-3 hours.
Setup files will be created in folder C:\OutPut Saints Row 2, sometimes it may look like the compression hanged, just check the size of files in C:\OutPut

Saints Row 2, size of one file (the one that is being processed at the moment) should grow constantly, if it grows, then the compression works and you just

have to wait.

When it finishes, in C:\OutPut Saints Row 2 you will have that files:

setup.exe
setup-1.bin
setup-2.bin
setup-3.bin

You can use Power ISO or similar software to create two images or burn it immediately with e.g nero.

The first disc should be labeled "Disc 1" (but I don't think label really matters here) and contain:

setup.exe
setup-1.bin
icon.ico (from folder "1")
autorun.inf

Autorun.inf isn't imperative but is adds the autostart feature to your disc.
If you want to have it, you will have to create it yourself.
Just open notepad or other text editor, and paste this:

[autorun]
OPEN=SETUP.EXE
ICON=ICON.ICO
Label=Saints Row 2

Save it as autorun.inf, and first disc is ready.

The second disc should be labeled "Disc 2" and contain:

setup-2.bin
setup-3.bin
icon.ico (from folder "1")
autorun.inf

The content of autorun.inf on the second disc is different from the content of autorun.inf from the first disc, so you will have to create new file.
Paste this text:

[autorun]
OPEN=0
ICON=ICON.ICO
Label=Saints Row 2

Save as autorun.inf and you are ready to create iso/burn second disc.

Conversion is ready.
Now, if you created autorun.inf files, and you put first disc into dvd drive (or mount image) the installator will start. If you haven't created autorun.inf,

you will have to start it manually from setup.exe. During installation, you will be asked to insert the second disc. Installation takes about 20-30 minutes,

so you have to wait a bit. After the installation, directx setup starts automatically, so you don't have to update your directx manually.

That's all, I hope you understand everything, and have no problems with conversion, if it's not that way then feel free to contact me by private message, or

write here.
Remember, this is only a rewrite of lukasgames guide, but his text was difficult to understand so I decided to do what I did.
