Hmm.. just tried it too, indeed PCSX2 wasn't able to load it. However, decompressing it again retains the original file, so it's not damaged, it's just that currently it seems that PCSX2 can't use it.

Hmm.. tested again with 2 different ISOs compressed using windows compressed folders option, both worked fine with PCSX2 and with reasonable compression.

I now also tried to use the compressed iso from pcsx2 WHILE windows was in the process of compressing it, and it still worked.

So I really don't know what failed on my previous attempt. Seem to be working now.

It doesn't? Maybe you're trying a different compression thing, NTFS compression of a folder/image works perfectly fine and I've been using it for a long time now. Also the Linuz ISO compression works fine but as said before it will only work with linuz ISO to read the files again.

It always works, the NTFS compression option is a safe compression done by the filesystem, only way I can think of that it wouldn't work is that you set the NTFS compression and tried to run a game without letting it finish compressing, or you having a unstable system in which case almost any other file compression system/program (or simply running any other program for that matter...) would have same results Tongue2
