hmmm but alot of people complained about how it lagged GTA:LCS, well if thats the only game then its fine cuz I find GTA games rather boring and repetative. Any compatability lists of this ?

That is a great method going to try it when i get home. So it will not do anything to the ISO, make it lag, freeze or anything i assume.
WWE Smackdown V Raw was 1.1GB and couldn't fit on my mem card hopefully now it can. I'll let you know how my results go.

Yes them 2 sound right as long as you've used WinRAR to extract them. As with the compiling part follow these helpful steps:
THIS IS THE TUTORIAL FOR REBUILDING
1.Open up vcdromx 3.6a english
2. A prompt will come up, enter the name of the iso you would liek to save the rebuilt iso as
3.Drag the folder PSP_GAME and the file UMD_DATA.BIN into the window
4. Click File>Build VCDROM
5. When building is done, click File>Convert File
6. Select type as .FCD and open up the fcd you made earlier
7. In second drop down box select ISO and check off "Overwrite and Rename Source"
8. Click convert and wait for the iso to finish converting.
9. Done!
