Thanks, Peterf, works great!!!
Only one question: all the files in your convertion are totally 7,87 GB ... Is it possible to make a conversion for only one DVD9 (changing the autorun.dat, maybe?) ?

Making a iso with all the files in this conversion doesn't work (of course )

Thanks in advance!

Extract the content of freearc_SFX.7z into the "bin" subdirectory (located where you've installed freearc!) and overwrite

to edit the *.dat files you have to use Orca.
You can find it in softpedia:

DS2DAT0_DAT
DS2DAT1_DAT

the files above contain french & english, i don't think you can delete one of them, you need both files

Thanks to Peterf1999 for his effort which this conversion is based upon

Dead Space 2 *Multi 2 (Eng,Fra)* *2x DVD5* *ENG ONLY

Create folders DS2_1, DS2_2

make FreeArc Archive but this time compress
DS2DAT2.DAT
DS2DAT3.DAT

output archive name DS2_arc.exe using settings and sfx module from Peterf1999 conversion

replace those 2 files with dummy files

structure of dvds

DS2_1
Code:
Autorun
Redistributable
Support
activation.exe
activation.x64.dll
activation.x86.dll
activation.xml
autorun.dat
AutoRun.exe
autorun.inf
deadspace2.exe
DS2DAT0.DAT
DS2DAT1.DAT
DS2DAT2.DAT------->Dummy file
DS2DAT3.DAT------->Dummy file
DS2DAT4.DAT
EASetup.exe
game.ico
GDFBinary.en-us.dll
joypad_example.txt
DS2_2
Code:
movies------->en folder only with all en movie files
autorun.inf
DS2_arc.exe------>the one you packed DS2DAT2.DAT, DS2DAT3.DAT into
DS2DAT5.DAT
game.ico
use autorun.inf from Peterf1999 conversion or change it to be like this

DS2_1
Code:
[autorun]
open=Autorun.exe
Icon=game.ico
Label=Dead Space 2 - Disc 1

[Special]
Disc=1
ProductGuiID={96D06FDD-6AF4-4309-BC1B-1C9588B0575E}
DS2_2
Code:
[autorun]
open=0
Icon=game.ico
Label=Dead Space 2 - Disc 2
replace autorun.dat with the one in the attached rar archive

Burn or Mount folders with lable DS2_1, DS2_2


INSTALATION SEQUENCE: DVD1, DVD2, FINISH


hope I've helped

PS: note to experienced members, would you please test this conversion because I don't have the flipping game :P

Can you tell me what do you mean with "use custom SFX Module freearc_SFX.7z", please.
I Read from rastan76: "Extract the content of freearc_SFX.7z into the "bin" subdirectory (located where you've installed freearc!) and overwrite", but peterf1999 says to "use" the SFX Module, how do I do this?

Thnx in advance for your patience...
What rastan76 said was correct, you have to "overwrite" the default freearc sfx module with peterf's custom one, that's what he means by "using" his module. Remeber to back up your original module to revert the changes once the converstion is finished

I've a multi3 version, it-eng-esp. The whole iso ripped is about 10,1gb while the .dat files are from 0 to 5.
Can i split the whole dvd9 into 2xdvd5? If yes, how?

If can help, this is the root of my dvd9


the installer is the attachment.

Thanks
The MSI database is multi 2 (ITA-SPA) not multi 3, although the movies folder 'en' (moviesEnFinger component)
contains one english video 'ealogo.vp6'.
Indeed the database contains only two mst (es.mst, it.mst)
