fully complete on my server here

and yes it is 4.49gb fully extracted

[whatnow]

i just opened one of the rar files, it says compressed ~2.8gb and uncompressed 4.499gb

so do we all need crash courses in ps2 game ripping? how bigs a dvd-r? and has noone ever burnt 4.5gb on a dvd-r? I thought they were 4.7gb :nowords:

the most data you can put on is 4.38gb i think!

but with games i thinks its different, it will fit

[whatnow]

kinda why everyone must be thinking it's dual layer...but to me it makes me think nothing's been ripped...why not rip something off it...or even just downsample the tunes a little/remove the country music! hehe

i have 4.7 gig DVD's here... so 4.49 gig should fit on that! :nowords:

say 4.5 gig... onto a 4.7 gig...

is that right calculations???

im sure it will fit, they would make a mistake on such a big title.

[vgopal]

pretty simple the actual size is 4,499,767,296 bytes, now when this is converted to gigabytes it works out as someting like 4.3gb at a rough guess, so it will definatly fit.

that should clear up the confusion

4,499,767,296 Bytes
4,291.3125 Megabytes (MB)
4.1907349 Gigabytes (GB)

:thumbs

[whatnow]

good point.

so how long is everyone waiting for to get this?

dvdr are 4.7GB but only 4.3GB useable data.

[vgopal]

should have mines in 5 hours approx

[biggy7]

oh its;

4 499 767 296 bytes

so it will fit

1Gb is 1,073,741,824 bytes

so in Gb it will be 4.19Gb

according to my calculations

edit: vgo beat me to it hehe :tongue

[tagy]

[maltloaf]

[Spennyboy]

malty my mate is burning this as i type this, and its burning away fine

i suggest you guys burn this as slow as possible, its gona be streaming alot of music of the disk and fast burns may cause slow downs
