Okay, whats the deal? When I convert games using various popstation GUI's, my games turn out with a file size ranging from 200 mb per disc and up, but I'm hearing about people with games like Tekken 3, Einhander, and R Type Delta turning out with sizes from 20-60 mb. I don't want PM'd links to compressed copies, but I would like to know how this is being done.

Thank you all in advance for replying.

Okay, exactly how is that different from the other GUI's including but not limited to PSX2PSP or autopopstation4?

Also, HOW do I do the process that makes the games so much smaller?

P.S. I already use compression level 9.

The reason they can go so small is because you can dummy out some of the content, such as movies, music and whatnot. The act of doing this is referred to as ripping.

Hope that gives ya a push in the right direction should you wish to look for more information on ripping :)
