Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

Compressed Game Size: 790 MB

Version: v1.1.102.0

Ripped: Nothing

Methods:

bpk+srep on Videos

msc+srep on Sound and Voice files (MP2_Voice.ras, MP2_Sound.ras)

srep+lolz on everything else

Not sure what is going on here but I found JustFun's post very logical and easy to understand what he did, I would of thought it was logical to everyone that he created 3 different archives, I really dont think any other information or layout was needed. Not really sure what all the fuss is about

Totally agree with that. I think there is absolutly nothing wrong on how JustFun has posted that games, it shows how he has done the compression, the game size, version, etc... I prefer this kind of posts more then others which you dont even know game version or the original size or if even something is ripped or not (that is important). And exact parameters doesnt really matter on such small games.

Oh, i know im a bit late but Happy New Year !!!

look my prev. message pls.
if you think that posts in 3 words with information how to compress is enough, then I have nothing more to say.

I will try to explain myself what i want to say. On really small games like that, the gain between the lolz or srep settings is so small that it isnt even worth, if 20-30mb are worth to you, then fine, do it yourself and post back the results here, im pretty sure many people will appreciate it.

If i see a post without exact parameters i will use the settings according to what i can use on my machine, so same way posting in "3 words" like you say, is also useless in posting a full method because not all people have 32gb ram, or 16gb, or 8gb. As JustFun said, some people prefer speed over size, this threat is not meant to beat WorldRecord sizes in compressions, its a thread for helpings, take it as a reference.

Every person is free to post on the way he wants, complaining about that is not nice. Just my opinion, dont take things to heart xD

You not know how to use it if you don't understand what I have written in prev. message. No parameter depends on RAM.

Well well at this point, you all happy, it's OK for all, a detailed post, especially in this thread is something easy to understand and easy to interpret, especially for the "newbie". Mine was just a clarification.

At this point in the future post saving time, instead of structuring it this way :

FARCRY 5

Inside 2 Language (English/Italian)

Mthd = (ZTool+srep64+Lzma2)

plzo:c64m:t4:st50p:ct4:b128kb+srep64:m5f:a2:d1g+lz ma2:d512m:fb=273:mf=bt4:mc=100000000:lc=4:lp=0

IN = 29.4 GB

Splitted in 3 Archive :

1) FC5_1.bin = 8,21 GB

2) FC5_2.bin = 9,64 GB

3) FC5_3.bin = 5,27 GB

Tot OUT = 23.1 GB

Tot Ratio = 78.5%

Time/Comp = 4h:20min

I structure it this way :

FARCRY 5

Method = (ZTool+srep64+Lzma2)

I think it's more than enough for you all ...
