How to...
 

Hello , i want to ask how you zipped that Mini-maxi-Images from 3.5 or 4 gb to 160 kb or 200 kb????? pls tell me :confused: :confused:

because the maxi image is truncated "cut off" after the TOC (Table of Contents)

The rest of the image is filled with 0's, which rar can compress by using simple math to calc the 0's and replace with something like 0=x1,000,000 from offset x00xxxxx to x00xxxxx then when unrared it writes the zeros back from the start offset to the ending offset where they end.

(that is a simple explanation)

The image is actually only a few KB to a couple hundred KB, but due to the computer not being very intelligent, it cannot distiguish between the faked file size and the real size, this is because the TOC is telling the system that the files and directories exist still even though they dont really.

you mean its imposible to Zip real 3.5 GB file to 200 kb? :confused:

That's impossible...I suggest you to make alway a full image of the game...That reliable....

If it were possible atm, then I would have the tool to do it.. lol And would love to be able to compress that much data to that small. I am sure some day someone will figure out how to do it and write a tool, but till then, it is impossible.

wen or how do u know how to cut off just after the TOC?

MAn u should not be counting mangoes but instead should be interested in eating them. lol
