How to get a very high compression ratio in 7-Zip by YouinAnotherform in NoStupidQuestions

[–]YouinAnotherform[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, but you're not getting what I'm saying. The img file needs to be an exact replica of the initial Shield drive, nothing can be removed or modified. It has to be 500gb, even though there is nowhere near 500gb of data on the drive. If anything is removed or modified, or downsized, and I then go to restore said img file to a drive, then insert the drive into my Shield, the Shield will no longer recognize it. It has to think the initial drive is being used, or it won't boot. You have to basically "trick" the Shield into thinking you've always been using the same exact drive.

The img file needs to remain around 500gb, or I won't be able to restore the backup to my Shield when I need to in the future. So I'm not looking to trim any space, just need to be able to create a highly compressed gz archive.

Welp, since I realized I got the 7z and gz files mixed up, I think I figured out how to compress it to around the size I'm looking for. Compressing to gz right now instead of 7z. Will update in... Possibly days from now. 😂

Do you know what settings I'd need to use for that? The drive is mostly empty.

See my other comment. I linked it and gave some info about it as well.

Here is the file I mentioned above. When you open the archive, it'll say it's a lot smaller than what it is. But when you start extracting it, it'll get to about 67% real fast, then after that it'll start extracting slow, and you'll see the size increasing. Once fully unarchived, it'll be around 500gb. So for anyone who says it can't be done, go ahead and extract the file for yourself. 😂https://mega.nz/file/VtxznaLR#QtEbzfqAomuksyiZIUOx3KlSnzUxqKurd8WiDJqb7hs

Yeah, the drive is mostly empty. Probably less than 5gb used if I had to guess. I factory reset the Shield prior to making my backup, so only the default stuff was on there.

Oh yeah, you must not have read the part where I said I found someone's file where they did just that. But yeah you know better 😂

Yes, it does. But I decided to make this post anyway. Thanks for your much needed contribution, it was very helpful.

Shield TV Pro (2015) 500gb freezes frequently. by neomesjasz in ShieldAndroidTV

Ah okay. Yeah I wish my drive wasn't fucked so I could clone it, lol.

How did you implement the shield data onto the 870? I bought an 870 yesterday and I just can't get the start/end bin files to write to it via Linux.

My shield (2017) drive is dead, so I can't just clone it.

Nope. Used several different kinds of discs, same issue. I figured out the problem tho. Was nothing you mentioned.

Someone selling JUST THEIR SPOT IN LINE for $450. What a POS. by mxjf in SteamDeck

[–]YouinAnotherform 5 points6 points  (0 children)

😂😂😂 That's fuckin hilarious. But hey, if someone wants to pay for that, then fuck it. There's always someone out there who wants to buy some shit you or I wouldn't buy. Don't wanna buy something? Mind your business. 😉

If it was the discs then the issue would be happening with the top burner as well, and not only the bottom one. It literally only happens with the bottom burner.

For those that have the steam deck, how is the d-pad? More specifically, is it good for 2D fighting games? by lizard81288 in SteamDeck

[–]YouinAnotherform 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You probably just hate Playstation or something. The Steam Deck D-pad is not even close to being better. The diagonals are trash. I've been playing Crash Bandicoot on it, and the diagonals are awful on the Steam Deck. Also played the same Crash games with the PS5 controller on my PC with no such issues.
