Redump Forum

Now that it worked, what options do u think it should have.

currently what i have in mind are

1)An option to delete the image if compression was successfully.

2)A renamer for ps2 images.

so is there any interest in this application coz if there is i can update it by removing few short comings and releasing a new version

If it's torrentzip for ps2 games, yeah I am interested.

the purpose of it is to work like torrentzip but

me and iR0b0t tested it on couple of game only and thou it provided the same result, but to be 100% sure i would like to have about 5-6 more result atleast, the only problem is i don't have many ps2 games yet, so if someone who have used it to compress the ps2 game can post CRC's of there 7z file so that they can be compared it can give a good indication how good it really is and how much more work it require.

if somebody volunteers, I would make compression attempts with you, it simply saves an amount HDD space

I'm about to go to sleep but ill use it tomorrow on the dumps we both have

just to update I have also posted this software on a friends site which have many ps2 images and hoping to get few results from there also.

great

just one thing, I believe current settings in your tool let 7z compress images as solid archive ?!
that could be a problem if you will rename file names later after compression if the db name changes !?

what do you think?

actually its uses the default setting, and i don't think solid archive option is on by default. but i also believe that its better to recompress the image then to use a file in 7z to make sure that file didn't get corrupted.

and i was reading the help of 7z other day and there was a command which one can use (thou at the moment i am not sure exactly how to use it) to get crc of a file without recompressing it, so we can also have our custom renamer, to save some time.

I can do more if you want

@BadSector: You probably have these on your to-do list already but here are some suggestions:

The button that says 'Start Comprasion' - should that be 'Start Compression'?
It would be cool if it didn't give a message box showing the status for every dump. Then you could leave it unattended. Maybe put a log in the main program window instead
Make it check for a valid path so the program wont crash if you type in something random like "#$%#$%#"- or make it so you can only select the path using 'browse'
Disable form resize and maximise button or make the controls resize when the form is resized
If you take a file/files out of the directory that the program hasnt compressed yet, it makes a 32kb 7z file for each one
