Can you upload the images as Fileforum Attachments please.

Yeah, I can but it will make the main thread a bit larger because fileforums image attachments don't resize.

a good job but I talked soon .. no works :D

let me guess, it stucks at 50%. if so, I gotta fix this.
I used the incorrect srep.exe and arc.exe

no no.. compress work fine --> ( no extract )

yeah, precisely what I mean,
Update Pending....

Use tinypic.com

It's been a while since the last time I played this game... Conversion itself is interesting (Whole DVD game to a simple CD). I am just interested

What kind of impact does this have to the game?

you can't hear speeches or what are people saying in the game from the start till the end of the game. but you can hear car sounds and etc, radio music has been removed.

I just compressed the audio folder which is 3.24gb to 62mb, it's part of the conversion, no wonder it's huge. ~ 80mb.

Conversion Updated

What's new

• Installer Updated
• Fixed Unpacking bug

Does that mean conversations between you (player) and other "people" (quest related stuff, conversation between NPCs) as well?
You know... You enter a room, a guy comes in, you talk a bit, he tells you what needs to be done and you go to do the quest. That stuff...

you must enable subtitles.

Well, that sucks... (No offense :D)

Ripping Radio files can be acceptable as it does not have big impact on the game. You can simply copy some of your own music into the game's folder and the tunes will play when you enter a vehicle...

Totally ripping speech files is not acceptable for me as it ruins the gameplay (at least in my opinion).

Can you make some type of optional settings to the conversion? So that people can chose whether or not they want to remove the sound files?

excellent conversions (MAH) if you also clarify the method used for compressing audio etc. .. many other less good would learn new code> or not :rolleyes:

will do a separate Conversion but final size will be around 3Gb. :D

But I couldn't careless about the game because it's old. :p


I didn't do anything with sound, there is a file on the internet which makes this possible that's all. :D

I've sent you a PM regarding this because I think external links like this wouldn't be allowed in forum :D

Can i also have that link, please?

Hey what? How to compress the audio to 66mb only? Though 95% sound removed but unpacked file size is just as the original.

google for it, this was done 4 years ago !!

Found the bug, the conversion: Testing from fresh Win7 SP1 x64 (with updates 2020+) and says it the message running from converter in selected game main folder, after press 'Convert' buttons.

Missing the dll file: libgdk-win32.2.0-0.dll

How to fixing: This converter programs run again, and before pressing 'Converter' buttons, do the followings.

1. Open any browser and find FreeArc 0.666/0.67 portable versions in ZIP format and download it now.
2. Open the ZIP file and navigate to 'bin' folders and open it and select all files.
3. Open the new Windows popup window use Win+R and put the commands: %TEMP%
4. Opened temporary folder and search freearc.exe file location. Example: "is-XXXXX.tmp" directory.
5. Its freearc.exe file found and copy all files after opened ZIP file to "is-XXXX.tmp" dirs an overwriting files, except the files in listed below:

freearc.exe
arc.exe
arc.ini
facompress.dll
faompress-mt.dll
unarc.exe
zlib1.dll

6. All files copied and navigate in the Converters window and press the "Convert" buttons.
7. Freearc its says select program language. Select in any lang one and press OK.
8. Freearc compressing in files and waiting from finishing conversion.
9. Test the converted CD versions game in any PC machine. Have fun.

UPDATE: This conversion finished in 24 minutes. Data2.cab file size: 410311kB. Its full install package size: 476MegaBytes.

Any alternative variants coming is soon, in future time? Like FULLRIP conversions, contains all audio its ripped formats. Example: WAV --> AAC --> WAV?
