Hi
Do anyone know the steps and what files are needed to shrink in Xenoaga I. Since have been able to decrypt the 7.88 GB ISO usin DVD Decryptor into 4.88 gb and 3.0 gb ISo files but the 4.88 can not fit into DVD-, any suggestion?
IS there away of decompressing certain movie files or such thing.

Thanks very much...

Have you tried the toxic dual layer patch? It worked with GT4 and they believe it should work with all dual layer PS2 games

do a search for a website TEAMTOXIC

You mean re-building.

To re-building means to take out all the rubbish added to the game as extra "padding" Usually if games ar over 3.4gb, they should/need to be re-built. This can take off quite a lot of size on the game, as there is sometimes a LOT of padding.

Yeah you need to shrink it to a DVD-5 or single layer game to use it with Swap Magic:
