S@T@N Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 So I downloaded Medal of Honor: Spearhead on my girlfriend's DSL because it's a 750 mb file, and I didn't quite feel like trying to get it on my 56K. However, a 750 mb file isn't gonna fit on the 700 mb discs I have, so I've resorted to file compression. I tried WinZIP and WinACE separately, but I only got it down to 718 mbs. I then tried a combo of the two, which resulted in a file 1.5 gb's in girth. I need to know the best possible method of compression so that maybe I can fit this on a single CD-R. P.S. This may seem trivial, and it is. But I waited a fucking week for it to download and I'm not going to give up easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty_habiT Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Here's what you do..... go look up the UHARC compression algorithm. It was created by Uwe Herklotz http://digilander.libero.it/winuha/ there are ways to find it online, although it's hard to get ahold of. I swear by this program because I've seen it compress files to almost 2000%.... which is very far beyond ACE, ZIP, RAR etc...... I cannot offer any support on it though.... so take what I've told you and run with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S@T@N Posted July 8, 2003 Author Share Posted July 8, 2003 I'm in a pickle now... I go to hit Setup, and when it brings you to that first dialog screen saying "Setup will now install blah blah" I hit next. Normally at that point, you'd get the prompt for your cd key. This time though I get an error saying it can't find that .exe, and setup shuts down. Upon searching for that .exe (medal of honor_code.exe) I find it, and am completely oblivious as to why windows 'can't' find it if it's in the same place it would've been on the store bought cd. Oh, and word to 500 posts. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
