Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. dvd9 to 2xdvd5, non-EN languages deleted, dvd1>dvd2.

This is for english language.
Basically, you will replace autorun.dat, and delete language files from data.cab, and burn.

I used Installshield 2009 to edit the autorun.dat file, and removed all the language folders except EN_US.

Download the modified autorun.dat attached below.

1. Extract data.cab.

Make "data" folder.
Use Winrar or any other program to extract data.cab to "data" folder.


2. Now you repack data.cab....... You must use a .ddf file.

download data.ddf below.
Open data.ddf with Notepad, and edit line 9.
Change e:\data to the folder path you want to put new data.cab in.
Save, and put data.ddf in the "data" folder.



Now open Command prompt, and go to the "data" folder. (cd "folder path")
type:

 makecab /f data.ddf

New data.cab file, without other language folders, will now be created in the folder path you typed in the ddf file.
Makecab.exe should be included in Windows already. But if you don't have it, download it below and put it in your "data" folder and type the command above.



(note: the ddf file specifies the order in which the files are added to the .cab file. This order is based on the install sequence in autorun.dat. If the order does not match, the installer will not find the file, and you will get an error)


3. Now we make the dvd's. make 2 folders, if you want.

On disc 1, you put the new autorun.dat file, and NEW data.cab, data2, data3.cab.
You must keep GDFBinary.en-us.dll and GDFBinary-en-uk.dll
you can delete all the other GDFBinary.dll files; they are not needed.
Keep all the other folders and files.

On disc 2, put data4, data5, data6.cab, GDFBinary*.dll, and the Support folder.

Label disc 1 NFSHP_2010 as volume label.
Label disc 2 Disc2 as volume label.

disc 1 = 4448 MB
disc 2 = 3168 MB

Install sequence- DVD1 > DVD2 (finished)

The easetup.exe installer might crash at the very end with a ntdll.dll error, but the game is successfully installed. ignore the crash.

Tested on win7 x64.

Also for those who asked, you can open the autorun.dat with orca, goto media table and change the values for disk prompt & volume label to whatever you want.

Label disc 1 NFSHP_DISK1
Label disc 2 NFSHP_DISK2


then follow the conversion, as posted.
