| Tool | Purpose | Compression Efficiency | |------|---------|------------------------| | | Merges split ISO parts, removes padding | High | | PKG Linker | Converts folder game to installable PKG | Medium | | PS3 ISO Tool Suite | Extracts, reduces, rebuilds ISO | Very High | | RPCS3 (with Zlib) | On-fly read compression in emulator | Low to Medium (but convenient) | | EzRe-Encoder for PS3 | Batch video/audio re-encoding | Extreme (up to 70% size cut) |
For PlayStation 3 games, "highly compressed" usually refers to shrinking game sizes for storage on a PC (for RPCS3 emulator) or for a jailbroken PS3 console. While standard zip/rar files are fine for downloading, they must be extracted to play, often leading to performance issues if the hardware has to decompress on the fly.
