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

[:( Sad8669]

Don't start repacking IFR like games right off the bat.

lzma uses FAZip32.exe which is not present in your folder.
lzma needs to be set in arc.ini before it can be used.

open your arc.ini:

[External Compressor:X]
header = 0
packcmd = X.exe e {options} <stdin> <stdout>

a basic structure is like this. You can't learn it all in one day, just keeping compressing games until you evolve and don't use commands as a beginner, use something like UltraArc or DiskSpan as a beginner.

You set your temp folder as setup3.bin instead of the output archive.

Okay... I will slow it down. But the problem is that there is no beginner guide in the whole process. So when I stumble upon something for a beginner, I try it out. But I have no clue what are the things to learn sequentially. If you can direct me to the things to learn, I will be so grateful. So for example,

"You need to learn
1) X, then (Links to 1)
2) Y, then alternate your methods to (Links to 2)
3) Z (coding for instance) (Links to 3)"

Maybe one day, I will make a beginner book.

I'd recommend reading the pinned posts on this board, plus giving as much information as possible, when posting about any issues or queries. These 2 things have helped me immensely with learning about this hobby/field.
