Megaman Network Transmission works fine with very good speed.

Why MDS? I've never ripped my ISOs as a mds file. I've ripped them always as a ISO
and I don't know a ripper, that can rip files as a mds.
And what has Rockman comment to do with this issue?

I think your comment is more useles than Rockman's, if you don't know the mds format
then don't act like you're a king of ripping, and google it, you'll bump in the two
best rippers, I mean Alcohol 120 % and Daemon Tools Pro.

1st: Try to calm down.
2nd: Say it in normal words.
3rd: Did you ever ripped a NGC game? I always rip them via my BBA and there's no way
to use a ripping tool like Alcohol 120 % or Daemon Tools.

But it would be probably a good idea to support the dolwin compressed image files.
Shouldn't be that much work and saves space, too.

Sorry, I didn't mean to be aggressive and yeah you're right, you can only rip them in
iso or gcm but then you can convert them in compressed mds with daemon tools pro.

NP, sometimes everybody has a bad day!
But I have to admit I never thought about reripping it.
I rip them and have NTFS compression activated with all my HDDs, so I don't have
that much problems with big files. Does it make such a big difference a compressed
mds vs. a ntfs compressed ISO?
Regards

I can't tell, I never tried ntfs compression, doesn't it slow down the access to your
hard drive ? Compressed mds are a little bigger than rared isos but I don't know if
in your case, you'll gain more space.

NTFS compressed ISOS are nearly as big on harddrive as RARed or ZIPed ones, so it
shouldn't be a big difference in size, but would also save some space on FAT32
drives (or linux drives?). IIRC I read on a MSDN article, that the designers of NT
opted for speed over reduced file size, when they designed the NTFS compression, so
it shouldn't make such a big difference, but dunno.
But it wouldn't be a bad idea, to support compressed mds via the ISO plugin, aswell,
I have to totally admit after discussing with you.
Thanks

I'm glad we agree and apologize again for that comment of mine.

uhhhh dolphin now has very good compression for gamecube images (in either iso or gcm
format). convert your game rips to iso or gcm, then shrink with dolphin to a gcz
file.
issue fixed?

Thanks a lot, that's great ! It will help saving some precious space !

And sure, that fix this issue. Thanks again.
