CSO Question

[TkSilver]

I was compressing some of my games using maxcso and saving about 5-15%, then I did Suikoden 3 and it shrunk by over 50%.  Did Maxcso mess up or is there a bunch of dummy data or is the data just really compressible?  I rechecked the iso against redump to make sure I did not screw up in making the iso file and it matched.  Do some PS2 games just compress really really well?

just like some files compress really better than others when using 7zip or winrar.
It depends if what you're compressing is compressed by nature or not

Yeah, most don't compress that well, but there are bound to be exceptions to that.
