Is there an alternative to fitgirl that doesn't have the long uncompress / unpack times? I love that fitgirl has everything and is a trusted source, but the decompression takes too long and sometimes doesn't even work on Linux.

Isn't that like 90% of the point of the repack? To heavily compress things and drastically reduce the download size of a game?

[-] matcha_addict@lemy.lol 20 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Then I suppose I am looking for a download resources that aren't repacks, or at least aren't so heavy and convoluted on the way they pack.

What I liked about fitgirl is the reputation. A resource I can trust and quality is consistent.

I thought 90% was defeating DRM and 10% was reducing download size. Doesn't matter how quick the download is if DRM blocks you from running the game.

I don't pirate games (any more) but my understanding is that FitGirl is one of the few crackers who can defeat denuvo, which means the only choice for pirates is repack.

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 25 points 8 months ago

That's just downloading the game and getting the crack.

You are mistaking Fitgirl (generally seems to be a pretty cool person) with Empress (transphobic shitbag but puts the time in to remove denuvo). Fitgirl repacks are generally more about massive compression and dealing with the mess that is (generally nintendo and) emulators for modern platforms. Like, I allegedly grabbed my copy of breath of the wild out of one of her repacks because I could not be bothered to figure out how to get all the DLCs set up.

Thanks for this, I was confusing them with Empress (which probably should be an additional crime)

"allegedly"? Lol.

[-] monstoor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 8 months ago

FitGirl only repacks; he doesn't defeat Denuvo. The only crackers within the last twelve months or so to crack Denuvo have been MKDEV and EMPRESS, both of whom are no longer active in the scene.

My guy, I can’t believe I have to point this out, but FitGirl is a woman.

We actually don't know, as their identity has never been revealed. The 'FitGirl image' is of French actress Audrey Tautou.

[-] princessnorah 6 points 7 months ago

This is a really stupid take. Obviously the image is fake. But what about them would lead you to believe it is a man? They say they are a girl in the name they use, that’s good enough for me.

Well, good for you. Probably best not to worry about what others may or may not think.

I am also looking for this. I default to fitgirl because its the only trustworthy source in the scene that i know.

Oc i can just try and find a torent myself but with so many fakers out there, people uploading game files even if there is no working crack available, it feels like gambling.

[-] CuteistFox@reddthat.com 1 points 7 months ago

DODI also has good repacks (has worse compresion but faster unpacks so is better on faster vpns)

[-] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 9 points 8 months ago

To me that's fair, this is the price of good compression and to me it's worth it.

However what I don't like is the forced admin rights request, which is totally unnecessary. This is the reason I very rarely use their repacks. I know they are trusted, but I chose to not choose them.

[-] ShadowCat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

elamigos, you can find their repacks on most sites on the megathread

[-] Simon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

Any torrents you search for on a tracker that don't say 'Repack' are relatively uncompressed.
