Hi, I was about to install the NTSC version of DOA Volleyball onto my HDD, and looked at the ACL, noticing it appeared to be almost entirely movie files. I'd like to delete any movies for foreign languages, or attract movies, but I'd like to keep the in-game movies. Could anyone tell me which I should get rid of? Thanks.

Yea. I also like to keep the ones for attract sequences and the like. It is sometimes interesting to see them.

someone please confirm this, it works for me.

Ghost Recon 2 : Summit Strike



i had some problems with the media folder.. i think theres stuff in there needed to start up, so i just left it all.. after deletes = 1.00 GB

also -

Black Hawk Down


saves 322 MB

Are those the exact file name?? They have space in them so I was wondering.

Thanks

ill edit them to contain the underscore.

can someone please post the unneeded files for Madden 2k6 ? thanx !

Please can some one help me I have to back up Jade Empire and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, please help me Jade Empire is 6.3 GB and Splinter Cell is 5.3 GB can some one help me please has n e one had this problem... please help me

both of those games are well covered on the forums.. search and you will find...

Both NCAA and Madden 2k6 have demos in them I'm sure you could take those out. I'll try this tonight aswell as have the Darkwatch and Outlaw Tennis posted.

There is something that's been bugging me for a while on this thread and that's people asking if there was any in-game movies taken out of X game. For the record I've never, let me make this clear NEVER taken out in game movies out of a game with the exception of Super Monkey Ball (and that was a request not personal choice), so PLEASE stop buggin about it. It's making me sick how people think that we just open up a game remove all videos(like idiots) slap that on an acl and call it a day. Why in the hell would we take away the story of a game by deleting in-game movies? Sorry, just had to get that out. Overfiend.

Keep the Xbox File Ripping Information-main page updated!

It's easier to find info of a game that I want if it's orgarnised rather than having to search over 90+ pages of posts to find it.

yes sir

this thread is just until baluga gets it on www.balugabutt.com and its all orgamized..
this thread has worked for over a year and i see no need to change anything.

change your board settings to display more threads/posts at once and it will only be 29 pages :-)

does anyone know unneeded files for NHL 2006, R6 Lockdown and Darkwatch ? thanx !

Ghost Recon 2 Summit Strike

I have run the game after this. I have not fully tested it. Use at your own risk:

Delete video files with _i, _g, _f, _s on the end of them. The one without the _ is the main movie and the others are other languages. Saved a lot of room. Game is still playable at this point.

Games with _25fps and _30fps versions of movie files. 25fps is Pal. 30fps is NTSC. Keep the one you want. Delete the other type. Play the game and enjoy significant savings.

(Area 51 for example has movies ending in _25 and _30. I deleted all the _25 and kept the _30.)

YA, I know I'm not providing you the paths. I didn't have time to write them down. I needed the space asap. I am however giving you a hint on where to look to take credit for finding it yourself.

I was unable to find anything worth dinking with on Darkwatch. Ya you could save 2 or 3 megabytes.

hey i found by using the blank xmv's from balegubutt's site [sp] and replacing them in burnout4 i saved like 700 mb...idk if thats a viable opinion for all...

if the game freezes on you in evoz, erase your cache or use xbmc

Has anyone found anything thank can be deleted from Ninja Gaiden Black?

I did NOT write these instructions, I found them on the internet, and verified it does work



Hope that helps

super nice!

Sorry if I had skipped it but have anyone posted any files that can be deleted from ESPN NFL 2k5 if not, can someone PLEASE post some or at least PM me or something....Thank you.

hi can someone help me find some of thes blank files? all the links ive managed to find are dead or dont allow me (balugabutt for example) . if theres a generous soul out there get in touch.

much appreciated

sorry,

been doing some more searching and have another question... is there a way i can search a thread? i want to cut down space on my games and a few aren't (or dont seem to be) listed in any of the sites linked in Rahszhuls first post. the thread is approaching 100 pages and its a lot to sift through, it took me about half an hour to get through 20 trying to find some blank files so just wondering can i search this thread for burntout 3 (for example) and go straight to the page/pages with it in them or do i always get linked to the start of the thread?

I'm a little late answering this. But yeah, I have the PAL version, as for the guy that gave me this info, I have no idea if he had the PAL or NTSC version. Maybe these files aren't on the NTSC version, I have no clue, but just to recap on it once more.

If you guys have checked the directory res/sounds there's a bunch of language folders (italian, french, etc..) at the bottom, there's 1.2gb of sound files. Filenames like blabla_en.xwb and blabla_ge.xwb

the _ge.xwb files are german speech and the en.xwb are english. So the _ge.wxb files can safely be removed if you're not playing it in german. Although, if you are familiar with Qwix's cross-linking, it might be even better than deleting them.

I hope none of these have been posted yet. That's all I have for now boys. Oh about the guy that posted the Ninja Gaiden Black deletion, you can just delete those files without having to rename anything.

Can you clear this up??

ravage73, did you have any problems backing up the suffering. I copied it my HD from the original but it won't load at all. Any ideas?

no problem here. u patched it right?

didn't know there was a patch. Is there? Could you help?

try patching it with craxtion. i didnt have to patch it though.

overfiend.. howd you copy it to hard drive?

Illusions, I used dvd2xbox and this is the first time EVER that this has happened. The game is there only, it doesn't load. Really weird. Anyways. If you guys can think of anything else just let me know.

Come to think of it I've been wondering about something for quite some time now, why doesn't dvd2xbox create a second .xbe like it use to? And why does it delete the media folder, when some games actually look for it. And if you don't believe me just check for yourself. Copy Midway Arcade Treasures(with dvd2xbox) and you'll see that it won't work initially, but if you manually put the media folder back in it will work fine. This is not the only game either, I remember that Ghost Recon 2 did the same thing with me and a few others aswell. Something to think about.

suffering: just used dvd2xbox.. got a black screen... didnt even try to load.
and about the media folder.. im guessing thats highly unusual that its needed and thats why it deletes it.

im going to try a couple things.. ill post back if i get anything to work.

edit: creates a patched default... and renames the original in case.

You don't have to do that crosslinking stuff, you can just delete all that stuff. Now if I could only get it to work on my HD, it would be great. Get that huh, it works off a disk but not the HD. Oh well.

at least im not the only one.

i did the same to my copy of the suffering 2 and it works fine from hdd.

just to note that i did keep the french and pal folders but deleted everything in those folders and completly deleted the demos folder.

in case you need info on what i have:
1.4 xbox with Xecuter 3 using latest x3 bios and 160GB HDD

i got a 1.1 with a 160GB seagate, xecuter 2.3 lite with 4981.06 bios.

Curious, I am wondering has anybody tried to execulte ACL file on existing games on hard disk with the new version? I found that it wont to all of them like the older did, just runs one or 2 then hangs.

anyone know what can be deleted off of nba live 06?

so far i found under movies\ntsc:

nfsmw.vp6
madden.vp6
nascar.vp6
nhl.vp6

which only kills off 88.2MB and the normal update.xbe and dashupdate.xbe deletes which is 57.9MB for a total of 146MB

are you sayin that you are successfully playing nba live 2006 off your hard drive?

reread my post, i mention nothing about hdd

i just wanna make the game smaller for a multigame disc
