cleverest Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 @Lordmonkus I just wanted to clarify that I wasn't offering to sell anything as per warning...I was offering to give freely. I won't do that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 You were warned because you offered to fill a hdd with copyrighted material and send it to someone else making profit or not doesn't make it any less illegal and that in itself was the issue. If you were living up to your user name anything like that would have been discussed in private and then there wouldn't have been any warning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Yeah, we get that you were trying to be nice and help out but we can't have the open public trading of roms and hard drives full of roms on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatuswalrus Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Out of curiosity has anyone obtained a full PS2 library? I have been trying to get there for a couple of months now and gee it is time consuming. I have not seen a full set available, understandably so due to the size. So I have been acquiring them individually. I have 910 titles thus far but won't add them to LB until I am done. Boy oh boy I look forward to having all of that PS2 goodness!

flatuswalrus Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 That’s very cool, it’s such a large library space wise. I look forward to exploring the PS2 more as I only ever had a handful of games for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiLamiW Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I have a full library of all consoles up to Ps2. I used windows deduplication so that I can store images without compressions but still save on more disk space than compression as it dedupes on the bit level. Let’s me save over 4TB vs undeduped for my current 16TB rom collection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let’s me save over 4TB vs undeduped for my current 16TB rom collection I've never even HEARD OF THIS...I have Windows 8.1 (my preferred main OS), and my PS2 games are all .GZ compressed so after a small extraction during a launch of the game for the first time, there is no delay and I save some space...I wonder if this would save a lot more...any helpful guides to getting this working? Is it possible to gain a benefit on my already compressed .GZ roms? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to gain a benefit on my already compressed .GZ roms? Thanks. Ok, I am now intrigued as well by this "deduping" @misterlamide. I would love more info; can this work with any type of file? CHDs for example? Is it lossless? How's the process of deduping done? Having the files deduped, can they be read anyways by the emus/cores? I am all about reducing files size, but if this means that the games will be constantly uncompressing on each run, then this is not for me, as I would rather have more space taken than burden the drive with constant read/writes. Thanks. Edited November 22, 2018 by Kondorito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiLamiW Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 This forum goes into it it'.s called DiskZip Max http://zipmagic.co/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=201 It basically leverages the data disk deduplication Microsoft uses for Windows Server 2012 R2 and up. The guys in that forum ported over the dll's and libraries into Windows 10/8 (since all Windows versions, server and client share the same core OS) Currently Disk Deduplication saved 4TB versus NTFS file compression of my 15TB array (so my 15TB collection currently takes up 13TB with 2TB remaining. Only Images I'm missing are the Xbox 360/PS3/Nintendo Wii U stuff everything down I have currently Since it works at the disk level as long as the Windows OS has the DiskZip Max driver and application then any application can read your disk so no worries about recompressing etc it runs as a service in the background and dedudupes on an interval in the background while you are reading/writing new files. It works great and because of it I simply uncompressed all my Roms so they are in native format and let the dedupe save me the space 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleverest Posted November 22, 2018 Author Share Posted November 22, 2018 (edited) @misterlamide My 8TB drive only has about 75GB free on it, if I install this and run the compression is it not going to be able to do anything on this drive due to the lack of available free space?

Should be enough in either case the program will tell you how much it needs and you can temporarily move the files to a temporary USB flash or something, dedupe then move the files back and dedupe the remaining files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
