Code:

xzlib+srep+lolz

27.2GB -----> 13.2GB

Masquerade · #**2524** 27-07-2021, 09:38

Code:

xzlib+srep+lolz

for movie folder, use

Code:

srep+lzma

15.1GB ---> 9.6GB

MV059.bin and MV060.bin are credits videos, so you can rip them to give you a final of 9.1GB.

It seems that you have gotten the idea !!! interesting

i would like to see future repacks made this way, as i find it very resource wasting to have videos 30mbps and audio of the highest quality with no real reason
