Ridge Racer Unbounded (1xDVD5 to 3xCD's)

Ridge Racer Unbounded (1xDVD5 to 3xCD - 640MB/700MB)

Special thanks go to the FileForums' repacking veterans here.

Inno Setup Script template is based on pakrat2k2's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 layout (not that I play the game of course, but out of generosity, I only downloaded it in order to fix up the cosmetic issues on it, and just recently, I've used it as a template for this game) - special thanks go to him on that, and for the SourcePath alteration (see changelog for more information).

Current Script Version: Revision 1 - see changelog below.

Ridge Racer Unbounded - (c) 2012 - Namco Bandai - Inno Setup Repack Script by Scarlet Blade - Changelog

Revision 1:

- Added an automated (within the repack script folder) "Output" folder for the end-user to easily find the compiled repack.
- Added four European languages (French, German, Italian and Spanish) to the repack script (totalling 5 languages).
- Changed the post-installation file/directory point-outs to simplify the end-user alteration process (thanks pakrat2k2).

Base Version:

- Had per-file/directory entries in the repack script.
- Only had one language, which is English.

Repacking Requirements:

- Inno Setup or InnoIDE - to compile the repack
- Post-Installation Files for the Game - i.e.: the game files you have after you have installed the game, whether you have installed it via Steam or via disc.

Repacking Instructions:

1. Download the "Ridge Racer Unbounded - Revision 1.7z" archive and extract its contents.

2. Locate all of your Ridge Racer Unbounded post-installation files, and note down the installation path that you have used to install the game in - e.g. if the game is installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\NAMCO BANDAI Games\Ridge Racer Unbounded\", then simply note that down.

3. After you have done that, look for the following section in the Inno Setup script at the top of the page, and replace the path that is currently in the script as shown in Fig. 1 with the one you have noted down from Step 1, as shown in Fig. 2:

Fig. 1 - Before Editing The Script

#define SourcePath "D:\Installed Programs\NAMCO BANDAI Games\Ridge Racer Unbounded\"

Fig. 2 - After Editing The Script (Example Provided)

#define SourcePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\NAMCO BANDAI Games\Ridge Racer Unbounded\"

4. Compile the repack now, and you should have four files, which are:

- Ridge Racer Unbounded.exe: 834KB
- Ridge Racer Unbounded-1.bin: 609MB
- Ridge Racer Unbounded-2.bin: 610MB
- Ridge Racer Unbounded-3.bin: 300MB

Please note that the filesizes will vary slightly, depending on what files the end-user has, and what main executable he or she has, as a DRM-bypassed version of the main executable is usually significantly larger than a retail/original executable file.

Tested on Microsoft Windows Vista x64/Windows 7 x86.

will take a look see.. just an FYI

" Microsoft Office Word (optional) - to replace the installation path entries in the Inno Setup script file (sorry about that)." ----> Just use notepad to edit script or inno itself no need for anything special.

Instead of using a huge files list use a define statement for where the game files are
#define SourcePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\NAMCO BANDAI Games\Ridge Racer Unbounded\" thats easier to change then every line in [FILES] section. as that becomes your {app} used in script later for eg entries etc.

no need to list every DIR in a section either its covered in {app} & in uninstall section inscript

great compression man.
just a question, when i make it into iso, it doesn't have autoplay of that .exe file.
do i have to manually double click the .exe file to run setup?

i didn't mean to tease him. i just ask a question, and if it is a No and have to run setup manually, he can say so.
Or if there's a way that the setup can be recognize through the autoplay, maybe he can post the way of doing it. though i tried using autorun.inf but did not work.

i have found the solution for the "Ridge Racer Unbounded.exe" to be recognized by the auto-play. i changed the setup file name to "RRU.exe" and all the .bin file to the same name as well. also create the "autorun.inf" file.

just share this method for those who want to install directly from the auto-play menu.

p/s : sorry guys i wasted your time.
