Help Compressing DOA5LR !

[aswadd]

Hi , I tried to compress this game but it seems I can't get it less than 8 GB
Dead or alive 5 last round + DLCs v1.4 [ Original Game + update 1.4 = 9.5 GB ]
No Zlib was detected so i thought srep+lzma will do something but only 8.18 GB
I'm using Srep with 1GB dictionary + XZ with 300MB dictionary
any ideas ?

Game resources are encrypted + compressed. So to compress it good you have to decrypt/uncompress them before. AFAIK there no good tools for rebuilding data for DOA (while you can extract most files), so...

For such cases I'd use ZSTD.

Srep+lzma gave me better ratio than zstd even with other lzma

with the newest zstd version, there are around 19 levels, and additional 3 more levels, and i think you tested previous version or low level for compression and chunk size also matters

EDIT: You should try srep+zstd and zstd should be set at level 19, download the latest zstd from my attachment and use cmdinfo by felice for the info about the use of it

I tested level 19 However it took much time to complete a single 400 MB File & still srep+lzma better in ratio & speed

I am using these settings below and get around ~8.25gb :
DATA , DATA2 , DLC folder > msc+srep64+xz
Movie > srep64+xz (Ratio 94.90)
All rest files in Install folder > msc+srep64+dispack070+xz (Ratio 79.04)
So Try urself !

Winrar Max settings = 8.7 GB I think it's good compared to the time & ratio of others

why did u use msc ?? I it's useless it won't make any change to videos
also why dispack070 ?? I reached around 8.18 GB with only srep+Lzma max / srep + xz with huge dictionary about 8.1 GB no need other tools , also msc didn't help me :\

MSC worked on .ink files on most files and total compression of the whole game took only ~2 hours for me. Not bad I think. And Installation took ~6 min or less if nothing run anything on pc .

Aswadd ! Can u help me in one thing ?
I need to know, how to compress only list files written in text file .
So the compression will be there only selected files written in text file.
Like this method :
arc a -di -i1 -ep1 -ed -r -w. \ [email protected] outputfile.bin -mmethod "input\*"
correct me and please tell me, Is there need to write the full path or only install path of folder have to write in text file ?

can give an example for what u need to do ??
also try this command to compress only files with certain extension
EX :
dir /s /b *.bin |precomp043 -intense0 -cn "{}"
other thing if you want to import from text file / output of program Just use [For /f command]
