*................:What Is CCI, Cerbios Compressed Image?:....................*
* *
* .CCI Is A Compression Method For The ISO Image Format. It Is Used To *
* Compress Your Dumped Xbox Games As An Alternative To The .CSO *
* Compression Method. CCI Was Designed With Fast Creation Of The File *
* Format And Optimal Decompression In Kernel Without The Need For Any *
* Additional Hardware, Modifications Or Addons. *
* *
* .CCI Is The First Compression Method For ISO That Has Support For *
* Split Compressed ISO's To Work On An Xbox. It Was Created So That *
* Additional Storage Space Can Be Saved, Whilst Also Using A Low Memory *
* Footprint. Other Benefits Include Being Able To Be Decompressed With *
* Minimal Code As Well As Fast LZ4 Decompression That Does Not Impact *
* System Performance And Future Expandability. Team Resurgent Created *
* The First Prototype Code That We Have Iterated Upon And Incorporated *
* Into Cerbios Today. *
* *
* Team Resurgent Has Updated Their Repackinator Tool & Have Added The *
* Ability For Users To Create Compressed Images (.CCI) Of Your Dumps *
* *
* The Latest Version Of Team Resurgents Repackinator Can Be Found At *
* https://github.com/Team-Resurgent/Repackinator *
* Please Show Them Some Love, As They Continue To Release Some Amazing *
* Free Tools For The Scene. *
* *
* All Image Formats Created By Repackinator Keep Sectors & Disk Info *
* Intact To Ensure DRM Problamatic Games Such As Toca 3 Etc Work. *
