Red Rooster Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 (edited) I have discovered an easy way to reduce the arc file size, unfortunately it requires losing a feature of the game. In my case I chose to get rid of Create-A-Belt because I never use it and dont plan on ever using it. Just getting rid of CAB from my arc reduced the size by 4kb which means 256 more attires or 128 new wrestlers. Tutorial 1) Make a backup of your plist.arc and .def files. 2) Open your plist.arc with a Hex Editor (I use Hex Workshop) 3) Do a search/find for the TextSting CABT 4) Select the bit that is 2 bits before CABT (in my case the 00 after FF) 5) Select everything from there until 1 bit before HCART (As shown below) 6) Delete the selected data (your arc should now look like the pic below) 7) Open plist.def in Hex Editor 8) Search/Find pac\cab\CAB.pac 9) Select the data from there until 2 bits after pac\cab\cab23.pac (As shown below) 10) Delete the data 11) Move arc and def file back to your console Edited December 12, 2014 by Red Rooster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impaler Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) And for PS3 version you have to remove these bits in a Hex Editor. Since there are 2 screenshots put into a single image begin at the 00 6B and go all the way until FF FF at the end on the image.
