: A pool game with a footprint of about 20MB . Billiard Coolshot : Another billiards option at 37MB . Action Man A.T.O.M. : An action title that sits around 69MB .
: This is the most common method. Large files like FMVs (Full Motion Videos) and high-quality background music are removed or replaced with low-bitrate versions to save massive amounts of space.
: Many "under 100MB" versions of large games like Resident Evil 4 or GTA are often broken or missing critical levels and cutscenes.
: Recommended for creating Ultra-level GZIP (.gz) archives that work directly with PCSX2.
: Files compressed to extreme levels may suffer from longer loading times or stuttering audio if the hardware has to decompress data on the fly.
While many AAA titles are too large to reach this threshold, several games were originally released with small footprints or have highly efficient "Rip" versions available:
: A simple card simulation coming in at roughly 33MB .
: A bowling title that fits well under the limit at approximately 50MB .
