Reduce PSX Eboots by a HUGE amount. ~Working~

[pibs]

Tried it with spyro and it just crashes after i try talking to a dragon

[Oraichu]

Did this with both Resident Evil 3 and Final Fantasy VII

Final Fantasy crashed anywhere there is a CG-cut scene. In RE the scenes are just empty and it skips them.

Final Fantasy VII 700mb .bin -> 230mb .PBP
Resident Evil 3 700mb .bin -> 290mb .PBP

This space reduction makes the CG-movies no longer work, so there's alot of games that doesn't work with this edit.

i did that with soul blade 400 MB >>>> 29 MB

and it would say that game cannot be played

This will (possibly) rip movies (in STR format) and sounds (in XA format).

Some movies are not in STR format and some audio is not in XA, so they're not always ripped

I can guarantee you it can't rip a Chocobo Dungeon game, so it's probably a huge intro video or something which you didn't notice it's missing

[felonyr301]

the games become very unstable with the psmplay method.

[Tinnus]

Of course, some games cannot be played without the files.

The best thing you can do is replace them with dummy/tiny ones (empty/small videos and sounds, but retaining the right file structure).

Of course in Final Fantasy you cannot do that with all the videos because some of them are interactive.

Just like to point out that unless you have a license from sony, copying, ripping etc a PSX game is still piracy.

I'd just like to point out this release as well:

lol iv tried this and every game iv tried hasn't work and rippin ff7 and other rpgs are out of the question seeing that sum of the game goes into video ( where your still plying while videos occur) ripping the videos from these such games wouldnt work cuz then you cudnt have the game to video cut scenes
