All-in-one working pyrescene/srrGUI directory with curated WinRAR versions

All-in-one working pyrescene/srrGUI directory with curated WinRAR versions

hai domo 25 Oct 2019 20:28

A private tracker user has just done the work to figure out which WinRAR 5.x versions are needed for pyrescene/srrGUI, testing for those which have duplicate outputs. Since somebody else did the same for the 2.x through 4.x previously, we now have the complete set of WinRAR versions needed without having any dupe entries. So it's possible to now upload a complete working directory of pyrescene/srrGUI instead of needing to download a bunch of separate files, needing to preprardir the WinRAR executables and manually cull unneeded versions.

Here is my directory:
https://www.filehosting.org/file/details/828797/srrGUI.zip

For anyone who wants to make their own, the winRAR versions needed are:

1996-09-02_rar200
1997-09-16_rar202
1999-01-15_rar250
1999-08-23_rar260b3
1999-09-21_rar260b5
1999-09-29_rar260b6
1999-10-14_rar260b8
2000-02-23_rar270b1
2000-05-11_rar270
2001-09-07_rar290
2002-01-18_rar300b1
2002-05-14_rar300
2003-05-15_rar320
2004-01-22_rar330
2004-09-08_rar340
2006-08-05_rar360
2012-06-09_rar420
2013-04-30_rar500b1
2013-12-01_rar501
2016-08-15_rar540

(I don't know who to contact to get this uploaded to the site)

Can You Upload Your Pack On Mega Please :)
I'll Like To Test With A FLT Release

While I appreciate the effort and the post, that rar set has serious problems. Over the past month I tried to reRAR over 10TB of scene game iso's I had unrar'ed from 2008-2018. I had over 100, probably closer to 300 (I lost count) Scene releases that won't reconstruct with that rar set. All sorts of errors. Most common was "Found good RAR version" then fail to create the rar's of correct size. I know my iso's are fine because I always compare the CRC32 of my iso's with the CRC32 on the release page on srrdb.com. The reason I'm posting this is because I'm looking for a solution and I have another 5TB of Scene releases to rerar and I'm not looking forward to hundreds more failures.

Games tend to be compressed in the RARs, and not just stored (i.e. like TV-episodes).
Reconstructing compressed RARs is always a gamble because pyrescene has to "guess" the exact rar-version with the exact-parameters to get the desired result.

Thanks for pointing that out. I regret saying "that rar set has serious problems" because as I just learned, it doesn't. Pyrescene has serious problems reconstructing compressed rar's. I'm getting about a 10-20% failure rate on Scene games.

any chance uploading the file to normal file hosting site? like zippyshare?

Awesome mate. Works very well, Thanks alot :)

I've tested these RAR executables with an unpackaged scene release from 2009 "Need.For.Speed.Shift-RELOADED" and an unpackaged scene release from 2022 "Cyberpunk.2077.v1.5.Hotfix-CODEX" and it still works great with no reconstruction inaccuracies whatsoever, thank you for sharing!

Nice list. I'm just getting into this rescene thing and it was taking forever with all the winrar exes. Till I saw your list and deleted all the unneeded ones. I tried srrGUI again and it found the correct version in a jiffy. Just my first "rescene", but I hope it holds for more. Thanks.

This pack was very handy but filehosting.org seems to have changed something and it is now inaccessible. I have uploaded a copy to Mega and also uploaded a folder containing all of the original installers for the included versions.
