Hi with big H (updated with step four)


​

there is 3 steps until now i know that i can minimize my games by doing it (usually more than 1gb (dependant on game))​

FIRST STEP​

first step delete any language except the main language you are using (go to my old post)
https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-to-minimize-your-borderlands-2-dumped-game.440265/
(Different from game to another)



​

SECOND STEP​

go to (/ux0/app/gametitle/sce_sys/manual) and delete the folders inside it (00,01,02,...)
thanks go to digitalforums by giving me this info
​

​

THIRD STEP​

you will need this program
https://handbrake.fr/
this program is for compressing videos
i tested it with dead or alive 5 and the program changed videos size from 1.25gb to 218mb
and there is no big deference that your eye will notice on your vita
i made this video to show you what setting i used in that program






after doing what in video just go to {new folder (2)) or what destination you made and copy your videos to your vita



​

I created a Windows batch file to re-encode all videos in a directory. Just install Handbrake to the default directory and then drag and drop the video directory onto the .bat (or create a SendTo link to the .bat) and it will do the magic for you. 400k/s video and 64k/s audio works fine for most videos but you can edit the file if you care a little less about space.

Edit: Make sure the path to the video folder contains no spaces. Even though the quotes should make it work properly it throws an error if there are.
Edit: Updated for non-.mp4 extension files

@echo off
echo V2
c:
cd "C:\Program Files\Handbrake\"
dir "%1\*.*" /b  > "%~dp1\dir.txt"
dir "%1" > "%1\..\before.txt"
mkdir "%1\recoded"
FOR /F "delims=/" %%D in (%~dp1\dir.txt) do (
HandBrakeCLI --format av_mp4 --encoder x264 --vb 400  --two-pass --turbo --crop 0:0:0:0 --aencoder av_aac --ab 64

-i "%1\%%D" -o "%1\recoded\%%D"
del "%1\%%D" /Q /F
move "%1\recoded\%%D" "%1\"

)

del "%~dp1\dir.txt" /Q /F
rmdir "%1\recoded" /Q /S
dir "%1\" > "%1\..\after.txt"

Downlod batch link

Virus scan link

​

This is a modification that supports both 32 and 64 bit systems, as well as a modified default installation directory. You're free to use, modify, or ignore it.

Note that this still doesn't support a custom install location for Handbrake. For example, it will only detect that you installed it on a different drive if you modified the default Program Files directory within the Windows registry.

STEP FOUR​

Extract PSARCs and combine with steps 1,3 then rebuild
THANKS TO cracker (for suggestion this step) and to the one who made this video (i tested it )



if you want to empty content of multiple files in notepad++ first select all files at once then right click on them then select edit with notepad++ and then:

• Clear content of Replace with
• Click Replace All in All Opened Documents
• Click Ok and Close

​

if you know other than these steps please post your method here so i can added it to this post​

game before was 2.54 gb ​

game after 1.53 gb

I updated the batch file to work with videos stored in subdirectories.

We should start a list of at least the games that won't work with re-encoded video and/or removed languages.

Mortal Kombat is definitely due to the video not being what is expected. It could be because of a hash check or because it was programmed to only play at a certain encoding but I haven't checked into either of those.
