how to combine split cso file

[holyixus]

i got two cso files but its one game...

is there any way that i can combine those two file to make 1 cso file?

Is impossible. Doesn't have sense divide a game in two files .cso.

It depends entirely on what game it is, but i don;t know of one that would use 2 cso files.

Merging CD dumps of any game is a tricky business and unless you are a pretty good with hexing and string replacement i wouldn't even attempt it. It wouldn't work in all cases either.

are you sure they aren't rar files?

If it is an rar file, and you have rar on your pc, right click on the first file and "extract here." This will rebuild the file into one new cso file.

i am sure that is not a rar file. it is a .cso file

RAR simply means its the way the file was compressed before it was uploaded to the bittorrent, or whatever place you got it from. RAR is a program that unpacks the files, or maybe in your case puts the file back together. A single large file is often broken down into multiply files to make uploading easier. If you can't figure out how to use the cso file than look for an iso file. The cso file is just, the iso file made smaller.

Good luck to you.

There is a way to merge separate cso files into one single file.

1) Use a cso compression tool like yacc to decompress the cso files back to iso format

2) Use something like ultraiso to merge all the directories and files into one iso file and save the new single iso file

3) Use yacc to compress the new iso back to a single cso

However, like tiamatloc said if the files on the separate cso files have been hex edited so that they depend on having two cso files then the above will not work. I have never seen a single game split apart like that so idk. But, good luck anyway.
