Splitting Sparc files (or other bigger than 4GB files) for Fat32. #401

Open Lion4K opened 4 years ago

Lion4K commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to implement an option to automatically split files over 4GB to fit in fat32 filesystems? (Like multiman does). I know webman supports ntfs and all, but I personally was never able to copy to an ntfs formatted drive, idk the reason it always fail.

Thanks in advance!

Did you actually try to copy a file larger than 4GB to an USB device formatted in FAT32?

I haven't tested recently if it is still working or not, but I remember that I implemented that feature long time ago.

Lion4K commented 4 years ago

The copies I made didn't ran. I can only guess something happened during the copy, sorry I can't provide anything with more solid information.

The large files are copied as split files with extension .666nn

For obvious reasons, the game is unplayable on webMAN MOD from USB FAT32.

IRISMAN or multiMAN can play the game from USB if you add a underscore character as prefix of the folder name. That character is an indicator that tells to the backup manager that there are split files that should be scanned and cached to the internal disk.

All that process is not supported by webMAN MOD. If you need to play the game from USB, convert the game to ISO before copy it to USB. webMAN MOD will copy the ISO as split ISO that is playable from USB formatted in FAT32 or NTFS or ext2 or exFAT.

Oh so I can turn the game back to whole using webman alone?

aldostools commented 4 years ago

Yes. At least it's supposed to do it.

As I mentioned earlier this is a feature that I haven't tested recently.

You can use multiMAN or IRISMAN too. Not sure if ManaGunZ, but I guess it can too.

I see. Well I wanted to completely ditch multiman of possible.
