((Im sure the game will still work after deleting these, but like I said, not tested. Saves another 236.1MB))

Saves you around 400MB. Im not sure what dashupdate.xbe and update.xbe are, but you might be able to delete those as well.

Does anyone have a list of deletables for SSX Tricky (NTSC) please?

Cheers.

The above deletions and replacements save up to 140 MB.

I also tried removing a few "Alternate Language" files that I found throughout the game, but when starting the game it always went to a Dirty Disc Error.

Already a small game, "Crash 'n' Burn" has 400 MB worth of stuff to go.

Erghh... "Phantom Dust (NTSC/J)" ? I imported it. Thought it was cool. It's in english? Thought this was going to be a Japan only release. ooohhhh... there's already japanese/english translations in this disc. Damnit. And MS thinks they're NOT bringing it over here? Morons. (unless of course they've changed their minds since I last read something.)

NHL 2005 PAL
Didn't find anything to delete

Lord Of The Rings The Third Age PAL
Didn't find anything to delete (can't delete data/movies/logo/logo.vid, maybe replace but didn't bother to try).

It would be great if someone could take all info from Rahszhul's page together with all new info in this thread and put it up on a new website (Rahszhul doesn't seem to have time to update his).

71 pages of game ripping info is becoming a bit much to look through.

I am in the process of doing that. the problem is that I can only work on it at work when I am not doing anything else.

I have about 75% of Rahszhul's page done and then I am going to start weeding through this thread.

I PM'd Rahszhul to make sure he didn't have a problem with me doing this since he did all the work originally. He never responded so I am moving forward with it.

Check out my work so far...

http://www.balugabutt.com

I am really hoping to be almost done by the weekend.

I hate to tell you this, but I never got your PM. I checked just a few brief moments ago, even though it said "0 New Messages". But, to let you know, I don't mind that you are hosting this information elsewhere. I'll even add the link to the first post on this thread.

Also, I was contacted by an individual on MSN, who now has access to one of the sites' databases. As it gets updated I'll provide more info on that... or he might.


When I get the time back from 'work' (as in NOT sent all over the country three times a day) I'll see what I can do about getting more deletions out there on the site, maybe even get some of those improvements for the site like I've been hoping to get completed.

On a similar note, I think I'll be trying to get my own host soon-ish. That way I can put a few of my other webpages out there even if it doesn't interest this community. That, and not having remote access to a database is just a horendous pain in the ass.

Anyways, that's my update for now. Thanks to everybody that's been posting their deletions!!

Rahszhul - That is strange about the PM. I sent it about a month ago.

I am slowly working on it with HTML and no database, but I am also working on a DB version of it. I should have most of it done in the next couple of days and then the stuff from this forum added soon after that.

I would greatly appreciate a link on the front: www.balugabutt.com

Nice progression on making the site balugabutt
It's coming along very nicely


EDIT: Bookmarked the webpage along with Rahszhul's page too

Thank you very much!!

Just wanted to thank everyone for there help and the great information provided. But there are still a few games that I have seen request for information for and I too have those same requests. Any help would be great!

The main games I want to save space on HDD are Madden 2005, and NCAA Football 2005. I realize that EA Sports is a pain in the a@# because they use their own disc structure. But any help would be greatly appreciated, and I am sure it will be by more than just me.

Great work on the new site Baluga...

Well, I am just trying to help. Maybe I should have went with the new stuff first but hey...

I am not forcing anyone to use my site. If you don't like it, then don't use it.

Also, I am self hosting and shouldn't have a probelm with bandwidth. Especially since this isn't a site someone goes to constantly to keep up on the news. They usually go to it just to look up something and then are gone.

If it gets to be too much, I will increase the bandwidth.

I am hoping everyone likes what I am doing and they use it if they need to.

Colin McRae Rally 2005

Balugabutt and Rahszhul, keep up the good work ! Would really love to se both/any of you to gather all new data in this thread and put it up in a more desirable format, like the old url's.

Hey Rahszhul...

Do you think that we could start a new thread with the same info on the first page? This one is 72 pages long right now and it keeps getting bigger.

Maybe even lock this one and put a link to it on the first page of the new one.

Just a thought...

Balugabutt

Hello All,

I went through all these pages and got the updates that I could discern.

Anyhow, most of them are on my site and the rest of the updates from this forum should be up tomorrow. I will get these up before I finish getting the rest of the old stuff up.

Please let me know if you have anymore that I don't see in here.

www.balugabutt.com

if someone gives access to the webspace... ill organize all these new deletions into something similar to rhazuls... without the acl's.

ooops.... didnt see the post above!!!!

OK Everybody. I have all but 4 letters done and all the ones that are done have all the updates from the Forum.

Please send me an E-Mail with any new deletions you have.

gamedeletions@balugabutt.com

I will post them as fast as I can.

Hopefull I will get the rest of letters done this weekend and can work on the forum and other things next week.


www.balugabutt.com

Ok, All the games are posted. Including all the updates from this forum.

If you see any that I am missing, or any that are wrong, please let me know.

Check it out!!

That may be possible one day but for now I am just trying to get the site useable.

Also, I don't know how to make an ACL.

Thanks for this, it's nice to see an updated list. About the ACL files, I think they do something special so that the game doesn't hang if you delete intro movies and such... Am I right?

By the way, anyone tried a go on prince of persia - warrior within ?

Iv'e had a quick look on the file structure and it seems we should be able to remove about 450MB in language related files, and then there's a buttload of .bik anims that should be possible to delete/replace (of course saving those in-game related ones). I haven't verified anything yet, just wondering if someone else is working on this so I know if I should put in more work on this one or not...

The Site!!!

Great work on the site!

The ACLs

People don't really need 'em. If people are too lazy to delete the files manuals, f*** 'em is what I'd say. It takes seconds to delete files. It would take far longer to search for a game's ACL, download it, FTP it to the XBox, then have DVD2XBox post-process it. But, if you want to spend your time that way, go for it.

Prince of Persia

I'll be getting the game in a week or so, then I'll take a look at it too.

Please remember to send me all your deletions so we can keep the site updated. This is all for not without everyone's help.

What do you do for games who require movie replacements? I was hoping someone made a blank video file.

balugabutt kicks MAJOR ASS!

Thank you everybody!!

I really appreciate all the great feedback. I am glad that I could help the community as much as you all have helped me.

I have a blank movie file that I will but on my site tomorrow... (they are at work on my computer). I will put a menu item to them.

Now that Balugabutt have taken all game info from these 74! pages, maybe we should get someone to scrap all this pages so we can give this thread a clean restart ?! Removing all posts and put a link to both Balugabutt and Rahzuls sites in the first post again. Would be easier for all that way imho...

Also a great thanks to Balugabutt who have spent his time doing his site for us all

There is now a menu item on my site for the blank videos.

There is blank.bik and blank.xmv.

Thanks for all the great feedback!!

that site loads really really slow for me

edit: But once its up: really good stuff. Good work.
