Few Questions.

[BadSector]

Here download this application

http://www.mediafire.com/?4mpmiywwnzg

and extract it, run the packps2.exe and then select the folder where iso files are and press start  compression button.

update me if u get any error, (u will need .net framework 2.0 for it to run thou)

also do check if it work with file above 2GB, it should work.

and can someone check it on Kingdom Hearts [SLUS-20370] and update if there crc of resulting 7z file is 9bd845dd  or not.

It is not torrentzip's fault that it does not work on files > 2GB. It's an inherent zip misfeature. Zip is a very old format where people only dreamed about files that big. Also it had to work with very little memory so the dictionary it uses is very small (32kb) compared to more modern archivers (rar has up to 4mb dictionary, 7z can use up to 64mb [provided you have the memory for that])
Though the zip format gets still developed and it is possible to use it with a bigger dictionary and also with lzma as compression method, this is far away from being standard yet, so most zip applications cannot read those zip archives. (Zip is more of a container format where you can use different compression formats like store, implode, deflate... and on. But even the deflate64 method which has been integrated into zip is not supported by many applications yet [which is just deflate with a 64kb dictionary])
Maybe in the future there will be a zip feature to allow files >2gb.

There are other limitations aswell for zip files like no unicode support and a timestamp accuracy of 2 seconds, but I will stop here.

BadSector I got no errors using packPS2, but CRC is different = d6f54c5d

[BadSector]

hmm strange, because i checked it on two different systems and crcs were same, will look into it in details later

and what crc u get if u place the 7za file in the same folder as the game iso and uses the following command on CMD

Code: Select all

7za.exe a "Kingdom Hearts (U) [SLUS-20370].7z" "Kingdom Hearts (U) [SLUS-20370].iso"

BadSector is any other ps2 game in Your own? 2gb image took really long to compress.
