Post by: Dome on December 28, 2010, 03:03:47 pm
QuoteERROR! Files are not equal in size!

I select my vanilla iso, then my patched iso...and this error pops out blocking me
I'm using PPf studio v 1.01b
Any help?

You need to add in a bunch of 00's at the end of the original iso to make it match, exactly, to the modified iso.  This is a function of Winhex -- just tell it how many bytes you need and it does the rest.

Note, use the "size" when comparing them, not "size on disk."

I added the 0 with winhex, and now vanilla img (Modified with winhex) and 1.4 img have the same size
When I tried to make the pff, it come out 500 Mb big, and when I patch a vanilla img (Not touched by winhex) with that file, the game stays...black
Some help?

you did append the zero bytes to the end of the document, right?  Select the very last byte, THEN use the append command.  If you pasted all those bytes somewhere in the middle/start of the file that would cause a 500 MB ppf to be made.

Thanks, now the ppf is 9 Mb...I'll test if it works
