Game files have to be converted in order to compress the game (this took about 10 minutes). This means that the game files will have a different hash but the game works just fine.

Repack Name: A.I. Invasion - Road to Roan
Compression Methods used:
srep:m3f+lolz:d128m:mt4:mc1028
Media Ripped/Removed/Re-encoded: Nothing!
Original Installed Size: 1.25 GB
Original Repack Size: 1.19 GB
My Repacked Size: 1.19 GB
Compressed Output Size - 1.25 gb -> 1.19 gb

Output file names:

Data1.bin
Data2.bin
Compression Time and specifications of hardware used:
Quad @ 2.90 ghz - 14 GB RAM 4 GB Vram -45 Min
Decompression TIme: 5-7 Min on 2 cores, 2 minutes on 4+
Repack made with Diskspan <c> Razor12911 and CIUv3 3.0.0.0u7 by
Cesar82 & KakTor

Note: Even though it appears to not have compressed at all, the difference is in the install time. the original took 10 minutes to install on my quad core laptop but my repack install only took 2-3 minutes at most. So no compression difference but much faster installer time.

Repackers comment - Post Script:
Turns out i was wrong. i compared my repack to the original and it is indeed smaller. original size was 1.21 gb, and mine ended up being 1.19 gb. so while not compressed by much, any space saved is better than none

LOLZ is slow, I don't mind adding srep just for making it a bit faster(70.8M>56.xM by srep)
