what error message were you getting ( exactly which files are missing? )

and post screenshot showing each dvd as you have it right now( DISK 1, DISK 2 & DISK 3 ). also post in english only, thats probably why post was deleted, if it wasnt in english.

Please... Someone can help me?

I'm try to make a Multi3 (En,Ru,De) 2xDVD9 to 3xDVD5.

The attachments are my source info.

DISK1, DISK2 and DISK3 files.
Error: The error that a I got installing it.
Rar files: The autorun.dat

I've changed everything that I could think.

Post Update: Removed non-working autorun.dat and added woking one (same of #68).

Thanks,

[pakrat2k2]

the error is becasue you have ds2dat3.dat on disk2 its looking for it on another disk.
go back into autorun.dat and find it in the files table, note its sequence #, then goto media table and correct it there. ( look for ds2dat4.dat file in files table it should be right above it in sequence ) They need to be together.

The MEDIA table ONLY needs 3 entries..

Line 1 for whats on DISK1, the ending file sequence number
Line 2 for the 2 files ds2dat3.dat & ds2dat4.dat
Line 3 for all the movie file entries.

I'd post a screenshot showing what it should look like, but the PC its on just went down.
power supply & cpu cooler went.

if you extracted the mst files, changed them and reapplied them to the dat file. you cannot read/change the RU mst unless you input the proper codepage for RU lang. Then you load the RU.mst, change it accordingly, generate new transform, save that in different place then original was. CLOSE the dat file, DO NOT save changes. Then replace the changed mst files in the dat file.

Thank you very much pakrat2k2!!! Working 100% here the MULTI3 EN,DE,RU!

Here is my 1st contribution for this forum: A working autorun.dat for the original 3xDVD5 post (files list in post #64).

What is the file listing in this case? Your images and the instructions from the original 3xDVD5 do not match.

[pakrat2k2]

glad you understood, now you know how to include the russian language, embedded mst files, for any conversion.

now just go back to your post #64 and delete those rars & include the 'fixed' one from #68

Hey there, I have DS2 in Multi3 I want to convert it to 2xDVD5, so, what is the file listing in this case? (Actually, I only need English language, others are not required)

PS. What do you guys use to edit autorun.dat ?

[yrdetraxe]

I've followed all instructions, my autorun.inf looks as follows:

Originally Posted by autorun.inf

Icon=game.ico
Name=Dead Space 2
Label=Dead Space 2

The Folder has the same name (Dead Space 2) so there is no difference.
And the Version of DS2 is exactly as the topic says. Multi2 Eng & French but I don't need French so I wanted to get rid of these files to fit it all on 1DVD9.

My Problem is that I do not know how to edit the autorun.dat properly to circumvent the need for a 2nd DVD...
For that I would like to get my hands on smurf stompers autorun.dat as he seemed to have created a single DVD9 for the game.

And I didn't waste any DVDs ;-)

I've only created an ISO from which I tested. BUt as I said, it didn't work with the ISO...

[pakrat2k2]

try the attached autorun.dat I've removed everything thats NOT english from it. test & reply back if it works, I've also removed the french.mst file as well.

oh, dont forget to rename it like original, i renamed it as I had others in the same folder, to compare. You can use any volume label you want, as in the media table - volume label is blank.

EDIT: oops, after re-checking the autorun.dat I missed some entries, try again with V2
