Hey guys,

I'm trying to put stuff into my brawl ISO, which I know how to do.
I also know about Brawl's Dual-layered needs.

What I need to know is how to shrink the ISO to have it fit on a single layer disc.
I have heard of totally removing the Single player modes to make it smaller, but I'm not sure.

If anyone could tell me which partitions and parts of partitions I need to get rid of to have only Versus mode work, and therefore making it small enough for a single layer disc, that would be great.

Thanks in advance!

the dummy1, dummy2 and border.dat's take up 3GB of useless space...

those files may be needed though so just delete all but 1 byte
then put those in the iso...

7GB - 3GB = 4GB (the size of a DVD) O.o
I just fighred that out :P

you have been through a lot of hassle. I've watched every topic you posted on this, and most of them seemed to disintegrate gradually.
But the coolest part was that you didn't stop working on it despite that.

Lol,
Thanks dude.

Just making 3 files of one byte each to replace those, right?
I never would have thought of that...well, I didn't know how much they were worth, so ya XD

Thanks again!

Edit: I hope I'm doing this right. Opened the ISO in wiiscrubber 1.2, then found the files. I right clicked and saved them into a folder. I went to look at them, but the border.dat was 16.0MB, the dummy1.dat and dummy2.dat were 190 MB each.

Somehow, I don't think this adds up to 3 GB. Unless they are weird files that don't show their true values?

oops...
no, you're right...

it's the movies that add up to 3GB...

but those files are useless still and they'll clear up 397MB at least :)

I keep getting those confused =3=
sry bout that...

No worries dude, thanks for clearing that up. XD

Sorry to be a bother (I know its a help forum but I still feel guilty for wasting your time), but how does one go about replacing or removing those files?

you're not waisting my time :)
I've got plenty of it to waste XDD

anyways...
when you say 'replacing those files',
you mean in the iso right??

I've never actually replaced files in an iso...
(never really needed to...) :P


but um...
I believe it involves WiiScrubber :/

Oh, right I should make myself clearer, sry.

What I mean is to put in a file of the same format but with a smaller data value to act as a substitute for the file I just removed. I've been reading all over the internet about the movie files. Some people have made a 'dummy' video to cover all of the slots, drastically decreasing the ISO's file size.

Either that or when you said to remove all but one byte then put them back in? I don't know how to edit .dat files...that's all I'm stuck on.

ah
just get HxD
open one of the dat files
delete all but 1 byte of '00' and save.

that's it :)

Cool. Thanks for all your help.

Edit: I got it all under control now! It's as simple as deleting everything then putting '01' on the first line!
I can't thank you enough Tcll!

Oh. I put 01. It still shows up as 1 byte, so I guess it's the same right?

Also, my custom ISO is almost complete! Just putting in a few more files and I'm done!
I couldn't have done it without your help dude, thank you. XD

in size, they're the same (1 byte)
but the value is differant... eg:
00 = 0
01 = 1
0F = 15

Didn't you say that the files might be needed, so clear them to all but one byte?
That's what I did, just to save any possible complications later.

I did say that :|

but changing a byte to '01' might lead to probs in brawl...
it's best if the byte value remains the same...

get what I'm saying... :/
