Nme Associat0r - Issues Regarding Patch And .iso Files
« on: November 04, 2007, 05:48:00 PM »

I own an Xbox360 that I modded w/NME v1.2 to play backups of my original games.

I've successfully patched several games w/ NME Associat0r to meet the 7.705.657.344 Bytes of size. (in KB it is 7.525.056) and they all work!

However, here's my question. All of the games I patched using the Associat0r program were originally less than 7.525.056 KB. NME-Associat0r program added the security sectors it needed and increased the size to exactly 7.525.056 KB.

Now I have games (in .ISO format) that are greater than the 7.525.056 KB size and when I patch them through the NME-Associat0r program, the resulting ISO is REDUCED to 7.525.056!! Is the program cutting out important data from the original ISO to make it exactly 7.525.056?

Does anybody know of a way to insert the NME security sectors without having to reduce the original .ISO size?

Any help is appreciated!

I'm using software. But i have one which I just got lazy and downloaded a backup copy.

NME-Associat0r reduces the original ISO file size.  Its weird, it still plays but I'm afraid I'll get to a certain point in the game where it will cease to work.
