Compress PSP ISOs to CSOs with cisoplus on Linux

There are many GUIs to do this for Windows out there (YACC, for example, is an excellent tool - http://yacc.pspgen.com/), but for Linux and other NIX environments we only find command line applications and source packages of GUIs to compile - along with the dependencies they need.

This a very simple script for the shell that compresses an ISO (using cisoplus/cisoplus_O3) to a CSO, with the maximum level of compression and threshold, it also removes the update modules and other unnecesary things.

What's better is that you may specify a list of files (through the console) and it will compress any one of them individually, with the same settings; and just mark the file as an executable (chmod +x) and you can even drag/drop files on the script to compress them, it's as simple as that.

Inside the zip you'll find with the script and the original cisoplus executables (by kapoue3).

You can also make it easier to use by dropping the entire contents of the package into /usr/share/bin or any executable path your system uses, and deleting the ".sh" from the script name.

The script runs cisoplus_O3 (it's the same as cisoplus, except that it was compiled with a level 3 optimization) with the following syntax:

cisoplus_O3 -com -opt -rm_update -l9 -t99

Instructions:

1.- You can specify the filename of the ISO to compress...

1.a.- Alternatively, you can drag/drop the ISO onto the script.

2.- A temporary file will be created while the file is being compressed (to avoid confusion, and to let you know the compression isn't done yet).

3.- The resulting file will have the same name as the original ISO.
