Shrinking UMD Games To Fit

[Active666]

edit: nope, theres nothing else you can simply rip apart from tracks or cars...
it might be possible to do that, but its no good ripping necessary stuff from the game, thats simply immoral

Yup that's pretty much what I had resigned to as well, especially since I am one who refuses to rip audio, a game without sound sis just pointless...

got a question, ive ripped some music from nfs rivals, i recompiled with umdgen, the game starts up, after when im asked to autosave, it just goes black and nothing happens?

[mkawa6]

did you just rip out the files? try relinking the files you ripped out with a smaller file with the same extension. What i do is, i find the smallest file in the folder that has the same extension, and just copy it many times, and renamed the copies to the other music files, therefore it will just repeat one track. hope this helps.

Also if you relinked the files and it still does that try rebuilding with vcdromx, as it seems to have a better success rate than UMD Gen.

There is a rip that should fit on a 512MB stick floating around. But there is no point in adding it to the list until we figure out a way to play it using a loader of sometype

Hi *,

Just registered to say that not all ripkits work..many of them say:The disk could not be read.I dont know if anybody else had the same problems.

Thanks,

you may have ripped out the wrong things...
which ripkit gives you that error ?

[johnsig]

Hi again ,

I tried the following saw that they didnt work so i didnt bother trying anything else:
ATV Offroad:
deleted MUSIC1, MUSIC2 and MOVIES.
ISO => 203 MB


Ridge Racer
This was tested by myself, and added here now that Ridge Racer is compatable with the latest version of fastloader

Okay for Ridge Racer can be ripped to fit on either a 512 or a 256 depending on what you want to keep.

512MB: Just go into the sound folder and replace bgm_nps_pack.bin
with a 0 byte version.

The Con
del .\PSP_GAME\SYSDIR\UPDATE\
del .\PSP_GAME\USRDIR\THE_CON_TMP
del .\PSP_GAME\USRDIR\DATA\GAMESHARING
del .\PSP_GAME\USRDIR\DATA\NET
del .\PSP_GAME\USRDIR\MOVIE\C01F.PMF
del .\PSP_GAME\USRDIR\MOVIE\c02f.pmf
del .\PSP_GAME\USRDIR\MOVIE\c03f.pmf
del .\PSP_GAME\USRDIR\MOVIE\c05f.pmf
del .\PSP_GAME\USRDIR\MOVIE\c09f.pmf
del .\PSP_GAME\USRDIR\MOVIE\c17f.pmf

Thanks a lot cyanide for replying.

Can anyone verify this for ATV?


In fact I have a 182MB version of Ridge Racer sitting on my mem card right now. So I dont know what is happening when you are trying to rip it. Post your step by step process so one of us can help you out.

Cheers

@cybersage: yeah i have the same 182mb RR version...
works perfectly here...
maybe he dumped it wrong or made iso wrong...

[detroitbootybas]

I did exactly as that says for ATV and repacked the ISO with VcdromX version 3.6 and it works fine.

Thanks for checking it out. Must be a problem on his end then.
