Do yourself a favour and choose no compression
Most of the time I can not check the compression because I do not have the games (this is one of them), for that reason I choose srep + lzma by default for others to test
It would be great if there were a tool to check if the game files can be compressed or not.

It's true.
For some time now I can not do compression tests (i'm sorry guys).
As I said before I have placed srep + lzma by default. Since it was the way I used to check if the files can be compressed or not.
Also I must comment that I am not an expert in this of the compressions.

There are many conversion creators who do not have the game they release an installer for, so what you and the other creators are doing should be appreciated by all as you are giving up your own time to create something for others when you are not even needing it for yourselves. That makes you are 'winner' in my opinion.
And, that is why you include a 6th step in your conversion instructions.

Quote:
6. Test the conversion, before burning ISO.
This is where and when the compression method should be 'tested' by those who use the installer.
