This.
I would be definitely be very grateful for one with 1.3 patch, Extended Cut and From Ashes DLC...

[ceifadorx]

tried again this conversion with 1.3 patch, Extended Cut and From Ashes DLC, and still fit 2 dvd 5. but the second dvd is almost full (4.38 gb)

[HellRazor]

Is there any chance that you can make two types of conversion in future?

One with Video background (as it is in your current setup files) and one with Still images like in classic conversions?

I, for example, rather prefer Still images over Video.

hi peter i busy testing freearc apha 0.67 it includes srep and precomp will this work also for the conversions

[The-revenge]

I have a little question. For conversion with audio italian, I downloaded the compress_FRA.bat and edited with ita. I don't understand when I ned to run this compress_FRA. Before or after compress.bat in main conversion?
Another question : Where I put setup.exe (in the same attachment of compres_FRA) ? In the disk1 folder?

Before or after doesn't matter, Compress_fra.bat creates the supplementary Data8.bin & Data9.bin files

Yep, put the Setup.exe in disk1 folder

[ceifadorx]

peter can you update your conversion with the new dlc (leviathan) please?
it has the size of 1.489 gb

[The-revenge]

I made this conversion but i encounter a problem. Now I try again, but i need to know the register key to delete for a cleary installation, please.

My problem is : during extraction of one languages (ITA) file I get an error : "NOT Srep file".
The compression of languages files work correctly without error. I used the compress_FRA.bat and edit for ITA file. Both Data8 and Data9 are 1.29 gb (togheter).
Help me please

The key is:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\BioWare\Mass Effect 3 (x86)

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\BioWare\Mass Effect 3 (x64)

Are you sure? I don't think so!

Test the archives integrity from conversion folder:

arc t Disk2\Data8.bin

arc t Disk2\Data9.bin

Test the archives integrity from conversion folder:

arc t Disk2\Data8.bin

arc t Disk2\Data9.bin

Ty for the reg key.

Btw I sure, I make two time archive data8 and data9 with two different version of games, each time the same error. During compression, no error.

Integrity test : ALL OK for both archive.
I don't know what happeans during installation...

post the original/changed compress_FRA bat file that you edited for ITA. Maybe there is a typo when you edited it ?

[The-revenge]

I only edited "fra" to "ita".
Of course I have moved the new setup.exe in Disk1.

There are the original COMPRESS_FRA :

echo off
cls
set choice1=
echo.
set /p choice1=Please type game folder path (e.g. c:\program files\Mass Effect 3):
echo.
echo Creating archive files, please wait...
arc a -ep -w.\ .\Disk2\Data8.bin -mprecomp:zl68:d0+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "%choice1%\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole\*_fra*.pcc"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
arc a -ep -w.\ .\Disk2\Data9.bin -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "%choice1%\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole\*_fra*.afc"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
echo.All done.
pause
goto EOF
:arcfail
echo.
echo.WARNING: FreeArc returns an error, please retry... 
pause
:EOF

There are the edited compress_FRA for ita file :

echo off
cls
set choice1=
echo.
set /p choice1=Please type game folder path (e.g. c:\program files\Mass Effect 3):
echo.
echo Creating archive files, please wait...
arc a -ep -w.\ .\Disk2\Data8.bin -mprecomp:zl68:d0+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "%choice1%\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole\*_ita*.pcc"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
arc a -ep -w.\ .\Disk2\Data9.bin -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "%choice1%\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole\*_ita*.afc"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
echo.All done.
pause
goto EOF
:arcfail
echo.

It's correct.

Italian Data8.bin-Data9.bin files sizes:

Data8_9.jpg

If the archives aren't broken, it could be due:
during de-compression a temp files are used, maybe an antivirus locks them and the error appears, try to close all applications,
especially antivirus real time protection.

[The-revenge]

Size of my Data8.bin is different :

Data8.bin : 809.495 KB
Data9.bin : 545.982 KB

Now I try to shutdown antivirus during installation

Greeer don't work

The message that you got is unequivocally: Archives data is corrupted!

Try to re-create the data archives.
