Dummy File? By that you mean, a null file with a definite size? what does it do?

some programs/games expect a file to be a specific size & creating a 'dummy' file with 0 byte size ( same name as original ), it refuses to install or crashes on that file. But using the dummy file creator, you can make an empty file with the exact same size as original, to get around that issue.

Great tool for me, ha ha ha. I could create prank game copies and compress it to let my friends think that I have compressed the games to a very small size
