And game is GOG version got for free of GOG as well and prefer the Ultra Arc version as can re-run them at point stopped at if ever stop working...

Umm 9.5 hours. You made something wrong then.

Not make anything wrong. Was set for installation drive F: 4tb win 1.65 left for installs, selected 6 for compression mode as always do that for games as go to dvd9 all mine I do to save discs, and set output dirctory where this installed which is drive H: 5tb space and most upto date windows and drivers as well. So why stop last 2% if all wrong as would stop well before that as some others do..

You say you're 'wasting time' when you should be thankful for these conversions which judging on your last comment have worked successfully many times. The conversion creators spend a lot more time creating these than 'you' do failing with them, be grateful and accept that sometimes there will be errors. It's just like gambling, every horse you bet on is not going to win, in fact you probably will bet on more losers than winners. Be thankful for the conversions and that you have access to them for FREE!

mausschieber, your hard work and many hours of work you put into each conversion installer shows up on all your installers, they look great and like I have said before you have progressed so much since you first started. Do not let one ungrateful member deter you. You know when something doesn't go right for him he is the first to complain and not just give a constructive useful comment as feedback as to what the problem may actually be. I for one appreciate your efforts as I am sure there are so many more members here that also appreciate your hard work and time .... all for FREE and for ALL to ENJOY.

[Stveboss]

Done this again and used the custom settings and did better as well that way.


not bothered it same size but installs a lot quicker anyway.

Try this:
1) Go to the "Resources" folder and open the "DiskSpan_x64.ini" file with notepad.
2) Change the value to 75 as shown below and save the "DiskSpan_x64.ini" file.

[External compressor:xtool_preflate]
header    = 0
packcmd   = "PRE\XTool_2020\Win64\XTool.exe" precomp -mpreflate -c64mb -t75p --dbase - - <stdin> <stdout>

3) Try to compress again.

Here in some previous tests using xtool_reflate I was only able to compress without errors using -t75p.
It may also work for xtool_preflate (do the test).

[adam1906]

I changed from 100 to 75 and no error worked
running error 203 at 04337521

[Jarmen_Kell]

Thanks a lot. compressor and installer works well.

Use normal "xzlib+srep+lolz" (method 8 I think) and it well compress in 4 DVD!
