the content of "dvd9to2xdvd5.txt" must not contain any files since the main goal is to split the cabs - no files will be deleted and you must not delete any files.

I think you must re-read :)

Yes that's correct.

mondragons conversion Fallout 3 eng dvd9 to 2xdvd5 works on any version of fallout 3, it just repacks cab files so you can split dvd9 to 2xdvd5

All the in-game video and music can be downsampled. You can shrink down a couple of gigs that way and dvd5 it. If you don't game on a high resolution screen with a quality set of speakers, you prolly won't ever notice the change. As for myself I'm deaf and blind so I don't care. Hope your not ;)

my method for PL version

my method for PL version without any programs and editors.
Polish version of this game is 8,3 GB.
Make 2 folders on hdd : disk 1/disk 2, copy from original disk to folder disk 2:

Code:

data4.cab

data5.cab

data6.cab

all the rest copy to disk 1.
burn files from folders to 2 dvds.
disc 1= 3,77 GB
disc 2= 4,19 GB
Instal game from Setup.exe and...play :)

Don't run bat file as "Run as administrator" or it will open in C:\Windows\System32\ folder and tries to find iscab from there.

Double click bat file and you should get UAC prompt for iscab.exe, Allow it and it will do its thing in current folder

I'm getting a "wrong disc inserted, please insert the original Fallout 3 disc" when the autorun starts, but if i go to explore and run setup from there, it works... strange.

It's because the launcher is protected with SecuROM and won't run from a backup DVD, it's normal.

Mondragon's method works perfectly with the GOTY edition, you have to use this one:
