The "Request a Tutorial" thread. (All other requests will be transfered into here)

I figure we might as well keep all of this in one spot so that we can keep the rest of the forum free for whomever actually makes a tutorial. =)

This is where you request a tutorial to something that you don't really have the skills to do, or don't understand, or something along those lines. For example:

"could someone please make a tutorial on how to set up an FTP? I am having a lot of trouble and would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!"

There. Ya see? By the by, I think there is an FTP tutorial out there. ;)

hi everyone! i was wondering whether someone could explain to me how to make a working cd out of the sound and iso files for sega cd.

How to rip movies?

My friend recently brought to my house a dvd of Record of the Lodoss War and I wanted to rip the episodes individually and compress them so I could fit them nicely on cds for my later viewing. So if anyone could coach me on which program to use and what settings to use Id be greatly thankful.

P.S. I would like to compress every episode (like 20-25 mins) on to like 200-250 mb so I could burn 3 on every cd and have something that looks near tv quality. THNX in advance.

To record them as a VCD you'll have to have them in the MPEG-1 format, which -- at that length -- will but them at around 235MBs. Standard half-hour shows with the commercials cut out always fit three to a CD.

I'm not sure exactly how to do the ripping of the DVD, but you can check out here:
http://www.imtoo.com/

They have a product that you can download for free there -- probably for a limited time only -- that is apparently really easy to use to rip DVDs and convert them to VCD MPEG-1 files.

Is there any way to get ISO's to play on the original console if you burn them to a CD?

I am very new to all of this. Can someone tell me how to download using a FTP?

with most browsers you can just click the FTP link and then it will download like a normal file. or u can use a download manager

Get yourself a FTP client like SmartFTP(freeware) :)

Which console are you talking about? If you clue us in on that, we'll be better equipped to answer your question. ;)

Hi, i'm new here.
Already got a question. When i try downloading Isos, using SmartFTP, i just don't know which url to type into the url-field. LogIn and Pass are emuparadise and gimmeroms i think.
And when i try to use IE it just says: "Page not found".

Edit:
Ok i found the IP but when i am connecting it says: "Too many connections from your internet address"
And NO, i dont have other connections with emuparadise right now.

Are there any tutorials or could you guys explain how to burn .iso and .cue/.bin files? Also what programs are needed to do this? Thanks alot everyone.

It's for PSX (Playstation).

That's very easy.

Simply open up the .cue file in nero, and be sure that the .iso is located in the same folder as the .cue

What I meant was how do you burn a .iso and how to burn a .cue and .bin
because they're all different filtypes right? Is nero reliable? Some people say it doesn't work, or it might just be me.

That's an odd error, i just recomend closeing all IE windows and waiting a hour or so and then trying again.

They are diffrent filetypes, but Nero can burn both. You just need to load the .cue file, and nero should be able to burn it.

Your point being? Noone answered his question, so I thought I might actually, y'know, try and find out just what it was he was on about, on the off chance he still needed help. I didn't realize posts were date sensitive in this thread. Yes, it was two months after the fact, but even so. :P

Some FTP-clients try to make more than 1 connection (1 for browsing, others for uploading and downloading stuff). You could try checking the options if you can use only 1 connection for the whole thing.

I use LeechFTP, and I can choose to use "Main thread" for transfers. The only way I can get stuff from EP FTP server...

Ah, your getting dodgy? :P
Besides, GundamGuy, if you would have took the time to read Cyber's post, you would have saw that he wasn't answering to the question yet. He was missing some important informations. :)

Also, the fact that this member has 1 post, made on october 30th, reduce the chances he's ever going to type EP forum url in his browser. But, I saw your willing to help Cyber, your of good nature and for that you'll receive a merit star.

Here it is, made from my own right hand of doom. May god bless you. :lol :wacko:

It's rather obvious that he only signed up to get help with his problem. Being that noone even attempted to help him, perhaps his lack of posts could be attributed to that. It doesn't matter to me. I saw someone in need, who's question had gone for two months without an answer, and I wanted to help if I could. I can't assume that he's hasn't been checking in from time to time on the off chance someone had answered his question, and given that posts in this thread aren't time sensitive as they might be in say, a request thread or whatnot, it simply doesn't matter. :shrug:

That's why I gave you a merit star actually. Your my favorite Cyberxion of the world.
Enough thread spamming for me now.

Heh, it's all good. I did respond to a two month old post, and since mods are apparently infallible, it does seem like a big deal. I don't blame ya for any of this. ;) :P

What is the best way to compress an psx iso if you want to upload or make a torrent? Is it best to use winzip or winrar or are there better alternatives. Also does it make much difference when you zip a file and do it again????? Or is this useless???

It's hard to say, Zip is good sometimes Rar is good for things that you want broken in to part's... it depends on which one takes the least time to compress and how much space they save...

And about the compressing a compressed file, it might save some space, but it's not enought in my opinon to warrent doing it again.

I use a program called 7zip which compresses to *.7z files.
You might want to check it out too, because:
1. i can take a .rar file, unpack it, recompress it and get a smaller filesize than the original .rar file. As a very rough estimate, say a 400MB .rar file might get to 370MB.
2. WinRAR is not freeware and 7zip is
3. in my small experience .zip files are always larger than .rar and .7z files

On the other hand:
1. Everyone uses .zip and .rar, though i have also seen a large number of .7z files and new compression programs also recognize .7z files and are able to decompress them
2. WinRAR cad do encryption (with password protection), can split a file into smaller parts (WinZip does this too), and can do recovery records (magic if you ask me, i have no clue to how they work, but very useful to make sure people are able to get 100% non-corrupt files)
3. As another rough estimate, to compress a 700MB file (say a CD game), with my super compression settings, it takes just over 1 hour of intensive CPU time, during which my computer is working 100% and so should probably be best left alone. (Though this time may be due to my current compression settings, and may also be similar to those achieved using WinRAR or WinZip)

After reading this, you may get the idea WinRAR is better, but i can say 7Zip is also quite good especially if you dont plan to use the extra features of WinRAR (encryption, file splitting, recovery records)

Take it easy

I just tried to compress a 410 mb iso and the results were:

winrar compression 274 mb
7z compression 272

So not a shocking difference only for 7z there was an option for ultra compression i couldnt use deu to the low virtual memory I had.
