Anyone tried removing the EMD references from the arc file? - nikethebike - 03-31-2012
Did anyone try totally removing the EMD references from the arc file and just updating the file headers of the edited files instead? I have a hunch that this would work and totally eliminate our arc space problem.
I'm pretty sure this is how the game works, but I might be wrong:
1. The game reads the .h file to know which pac files it can load.
2. It loads all headers from the arc file (same as in the pac files).
3. When loading a file, if a header is found that was already loaded from the arc it is ignored and the arc index is used for instant fetch in the file instead.
This works for removing the preload.pac from the PSP so I have a hunch it would work also for other files. If it does, the arc-size problem is no more.

The PreLoad.pac is the file that makes the PSP different from other systems. The PSP has all the default files but they are not all read thanks to this file. Removing it will make the PSP version work like the PS2 version.

You can use my editor to edit the game for example. All hacking is done on files the same way as on other systems. No special hacking of the big preload file is needed.
