			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, i would like to introduce the tool, that merges cd and dvd images so they can be effectively compressed by popular archivers.</p><p>It suites for games which have more than one disc or for merging regional versions of a game.</p><p>At the moment the tool supports:<br />iso/2048 (psp, ps2)<br />raw/2352 mode 2 (psx)</p><p>probably, it also supports ps3.<br />i also tested xbox and xbox360 images, only scene releases, but it worked.</p><p>gamecube images are also supported, but due to the garbage padding, that every image contains, it&#039;s not so effective.<br />wii images not supported at all.</p><p>The test:<br />I took &quot;Final Fantasy IX&quot; all regions, 8 versions, 32 cd images, 21,2 Gb (22 795 906 224 bytes) uncompressed.<br />merged them into 2,13 Gb (2 291 418 916 bytes) and compressed them with 7z with LZMA2 ultra profile<br />the resulting archive size is 1,28 Gb (1 383 588 145 bytes)</p><p>OK</p><p>the program has two tabs, Reconstruct and Merge:<br />Reconstruct tab for reconstruction images from merged data;<br />Merge tab for merging images;</p><p>To merge images, go to Merge tab and drag&amp;drop files to datagrid, the tool will try to recognize the type of image, unknown images wiil not be merged.<br />Press the &quot;Merge&quot; button, wait some time, around 30 secs to 1 minute for each 700 mb image.</p><p>after all, in the directory where the images located, will appear UNIQUE.* files and *.map files, that&#039;s what you need.</p><p>To reconstruct images, go to Reconstruct tab and drag&amp;drop *.map files.<br />UNIQUE.* files must be in the same directory with *.map files.<br />Press the &quot;Go&quot; button, it tooks 1 to 1:30 minutes per image.</p><p>I must warn you, at the time the tool is in alpha stage, so use it only for tests.</p><p>Thanks for your attention!</p><p><a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/bnpx9ua6qhvxi78/CDDVDMERGERalpha1.rar">https://www.dropbox.com/s/bnpx9ua6qhvxi … alpha1.rar</a></p>]]></description>
