Will the game work on hdd if I shrink it this way

[vsub]

I have some games that can be shrinked by:
Removing dummy files
The game has false lba and actually the game is more than enough for CD
Removing/downsampling the videos

So the question is will those game work after I shrink them if they become too small for DVD but too big for CD(ex. 850mb DVD)and install them as DVD.I'm asking about this because I can't use CD/DVD Generator in this way(850mb for DVD) because in DVD mode he requires at least 600000 sectors to be used and 850mb are not 600000 sectors

If You rip dummys, downsamples FMV You are actually change LBA of these files, right? Then why do You want keep LBA only for few of them?

For games on HDD You do not need worries about it (except games which seeking files by LBA, not TOC as normally).

I know how to rebuild a game or create multi game and about all the different obstacles when creating those kind of disks but I've never created a disk with size like this(less than 1gb and bugger than 700mb)so I don't know if it will work.

I'm asking about games on hdd,on disk I always create them in the correct way.

Vsub you can create the iso with the dummy on dvd and later you can change this dummy to 0Kb using Xpert2 for gnie and the plugin "Shrinker_ps2_psp_CdDvd5_iso_v1.04.epi" for rebuilding the iso with 0Kb dummy and you can using this method create a dvd with 700MKb and load with hdloader I prove them and works

Not every file can be replaced by dummy file,for example I tried to shrink Disgaea 2 by removing the videos with empty video(really short video) and in that way the game becomes 936MB but the game isn't working that way because he checks if the disk is at least 1,15gb.

BTW: Are You sure this game check the TOC? I hear about something like this first time. Maybe these files are not only an i.e *.pss. As I remeber, probably Genji have *.pss with other game data, which was merge with these files.

I say if you rip a dummy that you created for create a dvd least 600000 sectors this method are ok! I dont say anything of the rip video files

Yes it does,even pcsx2 says so.

CDGetToc Param[0]=0, Param[1]=1

I've placed Disgaea 2,DBZ Infinite World and Naruto Uzumaki Chronicles 2 on one DVD and remove the Disgaea 2 movies(replace them with empty .pss(really short black screen)because with dummy files I have to press any button to continue the game when the .pss is "loaded" and sometimes it gives me problems if I try to replace movies with dummy files).The movies in Disgaea 2 are _FOAF0.DAT,_FOAF1.DAT and _FOAF2.DAT

I've tried all kind of methods but the game isn't working if the size of the ISO is less than 600000 sectors
