yes, can be done
1) remove unneeded partitions (update, ...)
2) find files you can live without (cinematics, music, audio track, ...)
and replace them with the smallest file of its type that you can find
eg Other M was made single layer by making every cinematic the same one

actually that is possible tooganon45 said:
in every disc you make, keep some of the files you replace in there original state
working out when to change disc will be tricky though
best I can think of is trial and error
like if the wrong cinematic shows up reset, change disc and reload an old save
note: if you are doing this not for the fun of it, but for another reason the result might not be worth it
With the files that are to be replaced, do I replace them with compressed or converted files that reduce their size? I'm doing this for the sake of playing a certain dual layered game straight through without alterations that would drastically change the main features of the game (XB Chronicles PAL)
could be possible too
but I doubt the saved space would suffice
and I'm reasonably sure that someone capable of figuring out how to compress them better
while still staying compatible with the decompresser would not ask these questions
If you like to tinker go ahead, but even if you pull it off I think we reached a point where simply importing it would be both cheaper and faster.

I don't use winrar butmachomuu said:
you know that wii ".iso"s do not contain the iso filesystem (aka iso9660 or cdfs)
people just insist on calling then that for some idiotic reason
What do you use?PsyBlade said:
Also, I know nothing about the iso filesystem, but the game is the iso and as such that is where one would remove un-needed content.
Don't see the importance of it but I use midnight commander or ark for most file compression tasks,machomuu said:
mount and growisofs for real isos,
and wiimm's wit for wii images
yes he would need to remove the files from the iso
but the so called wii "iso"s are not isos at all
winrar might be able to open them too, but I really doubt it
but as I don't use it I can't check
did you try it?
Actually, thanks for that, I've been wondering why they wouldn't work in UltraISO, and apparently it doesn't work in Winrar either, I'll try the tools you said later.PsyBlade said:
I know I wasn't the one who made this thread, but thanks, your posts helped.

@Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.+1

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite+1

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
