Assassins Creed: Bloodlines (Rip Tutorial)

[Kiss Of Death]

The following tutorial will get the full 790mb ISO to a 312mb ISO (even smaller if you CSO it), by removing duplicate files and all languages except English so basically you will still have the Full Game will all videos.

1:Open your game in umdgen 4.00 and click on the explorer tab

2:Go to the PSP_Game/USRDIR/soundevents folder,
Right click on the file called vobank_eng.fsb and select File Relinker>Use Selected File As Source

3:Right click on the file called vobank_fre.fsb and select File Relinker>Relink to PSP_Game/USRDIR/soundevents/vobank_eng.fsb (This relinks the English sound script to the French sound script deleting the size of the French sound script)

4:Right click on the file called vobank_ger.fsb and select File Relinker>Relink to PSP_Game/USRDIR/soundevents/vobank_eng.fsb (This relinks the English sound script to the German sound script deleting the size of the German sound script)

5:Right click on the file called vobank_ita.fsb and select File Relinker>Relink to PSP_Game/USRDIR/soundevents/vobank_eng.fsb (This relinks the English sound script to the Italian sound script deleting the size of the Italian sound script)

6:Right click on the file called vobank_spa.fsb and select File Relinker>Relink to PSP_Game/USRDIR/soundevents/vobank_eng.fsb (This relinks the English sound script to the Spanish sound script deleting the size of the Spanish sound script)

7: The Following 3 files are identical in size and content (Same file with 3 different names, created just to take up space):
vobank_exx.fsb
vobank_gxx.fsb
vobank_rxx.fsb

Of course you only need one of them so to save more space:

8: Right click on the file called vobank_exx.fsb and select File Relinker>Use Selected File As Source

9: Right click on the file called vobank_gxx.fsb and select File Relinker>Relink to PSP_Game/USRDIR/soundevents/vobank_exx.fsb (This relinks 1 of the sound files to its duplicate saving you the files size of one of the duplicates)

10: Right click on the file called vobank_rxx.fsb and select File Relinker>Relink to PSP_Game/USRDIR/soundevents/vobank_exx.fsb (This relinks 1 of the sound files to its duplicate saving you the files size of one of the duplicates)

11: Next go to the folder called PSP_Game/USRDIR/text, Right click on the file called eng.res and select File Relinker>Use Selected File As Source

12: Right click on the file called fre.res and select File Relinker>Relink to PSP_Game/USRDIR/text/eng.res (This relinks the English text script to the French text script saving you the file size of the French text script)

12: Right click on the file called ger.res and select File Relinker>Relink to PSP_Game/USRDIR/text/eng.res (This relinks the English text script to the German text script saving you the file size of the German text script)

13: Right click on the file called ita.res and select File Relinker>Relink to PSP_Game/USRDIR/text/eng.res (This relinks the English text script to the Italian text script saving you the file size of the Italian text script)

14: Right click on the file called spa.res and select File Relinker>Relink to PSP_Game/USRDIR/text/eng.res (This relinks the English text script to the Spanish text script saving you the file size of the Spanish text script)

This is a nice tutorial, but for those like me we can't use UMDGen because our computers are very old or because of some sort of malfunction, is there a way to do this outside UMDGen?

Here is a ripkit that will do it for you 124mb ish compressed, (compresser also included, you can use another you if you have) readme included.
Readme
1. Move your iso into this folder
2. Change ISO name to original
3. Run the Rip.bat (something like that)
4. Use the Ciso.exe to compress the game.

have you tried the other versions of umdgen? their are 3 i think

4.00
3.50
2.00

UMDGen uses up too much RAM on my computer and instantly crashes, plus megaupload deleted that ripkit, funnyman3

[funnyman3]

Since you can't get the ripkit to work properly cause of your iso size here is a ripped version. 230mb ish
