i think its the option C5 = srep+ZST

[adammail14]

yup, still got the same error

[KaktoR]

Do you have x86 OS? I ask because I think srep have a input limitation on x86 systems.

PS: Do you have edited "DiskSpan_x86/x64.ini" by chance? I ask because it seems that your srep is using <stdin> instead of freearc-temp-input.

it may be that the path length is too long move the folder UltraARC 2900 R8
out to root. i test this with the same settings and here it work fine.

my system x64 win 8.1

what do you mean by edited? i just download all file at first post.

-_Tools (2020-07-18)
-CIU 3.0.0.0.u9 (2020-07-02)
-UltraArc_DiskSpan_UELR_Fix

and then i copy paste all file in folder 'UltraArc_DiskSpan_UELR_Fix' into '_Tools (2020-07-18)\UltraARC 2900 R8\Resources'



thats all i do.

I mean using one of the methods from 1 to 5 for example.
Or just test putting in custom method [21] and put "srep" (without quotes).

The link method you are trying to use must be from an older zstd.
It also displays this error here because the parameters are not supported.
Perhaps the parameter has changed in newer versions of zstd, or used zstd from another developer before.
The maximum supported compression value is 19 (not 22) and "-ultra" (not "ultra").

ohh so thats how it gets error

Try it like this, here it is compressing using this method in Custom method option [21]:

srep:m5f:a2+zstd:-ultra:19

ok i'll try right now.

and another question, What is the difference between DVD and BD?
is there a memory difference?
is BD better than DVD?

[KaktoR]

BD is blueray disc, it has much more space then a dvd but cost per disc is relatively high and you need a special disc drive to burn such discs.

[adammail14]

ok, this is what I got after trying several times to compress.
-for information, local disk C and local disk D are laptop hard disks
-local disk F is a hard disk connected via USB



-what do I know, if I drag the folder 'UltraARC 2900 R8' to the local disk F, and I compress the game (watch dog - 16.9GB) it will get an error as in this picture



-but if I drag the folder 'UltraARC 2900 R8' to local disk D, it runs smoothly which is really great
- but when i try to do the same thing with sims 4 - 49GB, it will say full space. in this link says that 'Make sure you have enough Free space. For each game you must have Double Space free.

-Example: the Game is 90 GB you must Have 180 GB free space.'

-so basically, sims 4 which is 49 + 49 = 98GB and my local disk D has 138GB so why does it not compress completely?
-and why i cant compress it in local disk F(my hard disk) ?

The 'Root Drive' in your case is either your C: or D: drive. This would be why it errors when you try from F: Drive.

Sims 4 obviously needs more space than double hence why it fails. I would say at a guess it would need around 150 GB free space on your drive.

Read what Kaktor posted on post #2.
I also think that for certain compression methods a free space equivalent to 200% of the game's size is too little.
I believe that in certain cases it will use up to 400% (P.S. Game 50 GB = 200 GB free).
As for your hard drive (Partition F: \) being an external USB hard drive, it may have been partitioned using an unsupported partition method.
It may also be because your USB hard drive is not USB 3.0 or is connected to a USB 2.0 port on the PC.
I don't know if it supported recordings of only 30 Mb/s which is the maximum speed of a USB 2.0.
If you have time and it is possible (If you don't have O.S. installed), completely release the D:\ partition by moving everything to F:\ and then try to compress the same game inside the D:\ partition

[Cesar82]

POSSIBLE REASON FOR ERRORS IN SREP

- I did a simple test here with random files (not from the game).
- I chose the "[21] Custom Method" option and used:

xzlib+srep:m3f+4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000

Test 01:
- Hard Drive (500 GB) portable with USB 3.0 connector plugged into a USB 3.0 (USB without hub 3.0).


Test 02:
- Hard Drive (500 GB) portable with USB 3.0 connector plugged into a USB 2.0 (USB without hub 2.0).


@adammail14, if you are using a hard drive other than USB 3.0 (High Speed), or if you are connecting your portable hard drive that is USB 3.0 to a 2.0 connector on your PC, this could probably be the reason for the errors.

okay i already complete it

Conversion is finished!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Input Size: 45.92 GB.
Output Size: 26.00 GB.

Press any key to exit.

it takes a lot time but it worth it

@adammail14, if you are using a hard drive other than USB 3.0 (High Speed), or if you are connecting your portable hard drive that is USB 3.0 to a 2.0 connector on your PC, this could probably be the reason for the errors.

yeah i think that was the problem because i dont have connector 3.0 which is im gonna buy it next time

and it need a lot more space too. i transfer all my data in local disk D to F

okay now I have a job, I will continue for installer tomorrow, hope you guys can help me

seriously thanks guys
