Help !! Need to reduce TimeSplitters: Future Perfect (USA)

[ahmadka2]

hi there.........please help me out here....i am having trouble reducing the size of my TimeSplitters Future Perfect (USA) ISO Image... let me explain a little...

the original ISO's size is 4.08GB.

now, when i open it up in isobuster, and extract everthing under the iso tab to a folder, the folder has 4.05GB of data....

when i rebuild using CDGENPS2 3.0, the resulting ISO's size is then, obviously 4.05GB !!!!

i found out on irc that, i can reduce this ISO to 1.70GB

how ??????

I tried to look for some dummies, i didnt find any exact dummies in it....but i did find a few files of rather odd sizes (1.08GB, 242mb,239mb,257mb, 15mb, even 2mb) files with odd names....that were all zero's inside, except for the first 1 or 2 bytes....when i dummied these, and made an ISO, i got 1.79GB, but the image didnt work....


lastly, another thing confusing me, is that the ISO's data is 4.05GB, the UDF layer's data is also 4.05GB, so how come the whole image is 4.08GB ???


Can you pleeeeease tell me exactly what did u do to reduce it to 1.7GB ???

Thanx in advance...


i have included the filelist (for the ISO tag) here....

That list that you are linking is wrong and inaccurate cause the people at that site don't give a crap about maintaining it, they just grab other people's info and post it. Just look at the list you are linking to some of the isos say original 0gb and reduced 0gb. The list they updated is messed up. Timesplitters 2 was the one that could be crunched down to around 1.7 cause it was also a GC game. TSFP can go to 3.14GB.

zandar, can u give me some info on how to reduce tsfp ???? i have tried simply extracting the ISO tab files from isobuster, and then rebuilding........i just get a change of 0.03GB ..........

look on the sticky thread of this section a dude named TLO posted the info about how it can go to 3.14GB if remove the sound packs like he describes in the sticky. it's in the last few pages of the sticky and it works.
