Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to use ADR 0.5 on some images I downloaded to be able to run a 80min game with my no solder modchip and Action Replay.. I just have a few questions.

1) Is ADR supposed to actually reduce the size of the image down below 650MB? I run the generic EA patch on the games and it says patch successful, but the size of the file doesn't change at all. If it is supposed to reduce the file size, what am I doing wrong?

2) After using ADR on a few games (Tenchu; Wipeouf Fusion) the game starts up and I see a few title screens but then it goes to black and nothing happens after that. Tenchu was burned at 1x with CDRWIN

3) I noticed in the NFO and various other places around these forums that everyone says to use CDRWIN.. is this necessary, or will Nero suffice?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe that (someone can correct me on this) that any mod which requires a gameshark/actionreplay disc, is limited to the GS/AR table of content size (TOC) and since it is about 71 minutes, cannot be used to play 80 Min titles properly.

Of course, some 80 min games will boot, but eventually freeze or crash when the program needs a file beyond the 71 min limit.

I seem to remember a guy going by the name spiv who ran a web site with kits to reduce the size of 80 min games for such a situation (I could be wrong).
