you can do a search for a rip kit (instructiuons on what files to delete/change) but highly unlikely and doesnt always work.

All winzip/winrar etc will do is shrink it down to burn to a single disc, you cant play a zipped game .exe though. You would have to mount it

Yea If its a PC game you can break into several images and then do a virtual drive and mount the images, the option of taking files out, IS NOT AN OPTION, if it is a PS2, XBOX or Cube srry but you will only have to burn it into A DL layer disc.

i would re-check that, as kits are available for a large number of games, they remove multiplayer/sound etc to shrink the games
