Loading ISO files

[Flarp]

I am making a Game Base project for my wife with her favorite music/video DVDs in .iso format.. I use VLC as my video player/emulator in this case. and when I initially select the .iso file it slowly opens it and I can select the file I want to select as the main file to load from the Gamebase.. in this case it is .ifo files.. and that will setup everything to run as if she loaded it from the main DVD.. but my problem is that when she clicks on it from the Game Base list it takes forever for it to load and start playing the file.. is there anyway this could be sped up in Game base for the future?

Sounds like the problem is with the unpacking (wait time) of the ISO file.
while the sub files are being copied to the GBTEMP folder.
Only way to speed that up is get a quad core computer.

The simplest way to speed it up is to have your .ifo files unzipped (not in ISO format) in a folder and run them directly from there.

Or a smarter way would be to mount the ISO in Daemons util.
which will take a few seconds to mount. Then select your runnable files from the virtual drive.

Code: Select all

Run_Program(C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe||-unmount_All||WAIT)
Run_Program(C:\Program Files\DAEMON Tools Lite\DTLite.exe||-mount 0, "%gamepathfile%"||WAIT)

If you have a version of Daemons Tools already installed and working with a virtual drive.
Change %dbpath% in this script to your Daemons installed location.

I actually have a quad core phenom II 945 AMD cpu ..and it was taking 3 minutes.. but I figured it out on my own I just use 7zip to unzip the .iso file then hooked up the .ifo file again in Game Base and it starts right away now. but thanks for the help anyway
