I think that install manifest will hold the information you need, previous EA installers with that was a case of opening up in notepad and changing the disk numbers for files.

So all you have to do is, find out how much of the .rar files you can have in the order of the installer (noted in the manifest file) to fit one DVD5 and then Put the rest on the 2nd disk. Just rename the 2nd disc the current label with 2 at the end.

Should work that way :)

Also you can leave out the spanish files if your just using the english installer, that will save a bit of space also.

EDIT: Why the big blank part above the folder listing the left tab?

[rafaelmiglio]

xmen222, your conversion works 100%, but how can i uninstall the game?
The name of the game don't appear on control panel. I tried to remove from launcher, but option UNINSTALL is "blanked".

[k999]

Thx chaser8x,works fine!

[X-Code]

work fine as conversation @ chaser8x

thx guys http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad93/kaskusradio/icon%20kaskusbox/lari2.gif http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad93/kaskusradio/icon%20kaskusbox/lari2.gif

[powerful]

thnks chaser8x and ch2rom good convertion.

OS: win 7 64 bits

[Solo761]

If someone doesn't know how to do it (not that likely) or is just lazy (more likely :)) here's batch file to do this process.

This works on EN/ES version, manifest files are from ch2rom and chaser8x.

Simply create temp folder, extract this archive to it then create folder named Disc1 in this temp folder and copy contents of Dragon Age DVD9 to it. You should have something like this when you're ready

http://www.imagesforme.com/thumb/thumb_62b7bb42.png (http://www.imagesforme.com/show.php/771129_Image1.png)

After that just doubleclick split.bat and wait until it's done. You should end up with temp folder with two iso images, everything else should be clean

*edit*

Made a typo with bat file, if you downloaded file name dosplit.rar that one is wrong (beside o in the name :P). dasplit.rar is fixed.

[matucaballito]

Spanish is same Eng, Extract the attachments below, copy to DVD1/data and replace the old file. And move 5 file & "campaign_tt_spanish.rar" from DVD1/data to DVD2/data

VN?? me too. HN??


It works perfect, proved(tried) in XP-SP2 Thank you ch2rom and chaser8x. :cool:

If you see the installmanifest I've attached in the previous post you have all necessary filenames and disk position.

example:
[File 12]
Name=campaign_movies01.rar
Type=rar
Size=666804540
URL=data\campaign_movies01.rar <---- Path of file
Disk=Disco 2 <---- Destination disk


hope it helps bye :)

Thx a lot it works fine...

Dragon Age MULTI8 German Only 2xDVD9 -> 2xDVD5
Works on Win 7 32bit
I can confirm that the German 2xDVD5 works on my Windows 7 Ultimate Edition 32bit (including uninstall feature).

I had a fresh installation of Nero 9 and by default Nero 9 enables multisession for DVDs. Make sure to disable Multisession in your DVD burning software, otherwise it won't be possible to burn Disc#2. Multisession requires approx. 24 MB management data for the 1st session and you need this space for the 2nd DVD!

Furthermore I can confirm that you only need to edit the installmanifest_de.ini, you can leave the autorun.xml untouched.

On Disc#1 there is even space to include the update to Version 1.02a (http://files.bioware.com/dragonage/patch/1.02/DragonAge1.02a.exe), the Trainer (if wanted) for 1.02a, the LightScribe cover file (for Nero CoverDesigner) (http://ww1.fileforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1343&d=1261854522), the No-Intro-Fix, and various other patches...

[tuszyn]

ch2roms conversion workt with some changes on the polish version (not 2 but 3 DVDs)

[gczobel]

@Solo761
Thanks! dasplit.bat work perfect! :)

Only a little thing... timeout command work on Vista only... not xp.
