SmartVersion | Tools + Scripts

By the way , did you randomly choose the Turkish iso for showing an example or do you have a Turkish origin ?

 

Is there any guide for Linux user on How-To make svf?

 

I've just used the SVF extractor from Gezoesloog. Sadly the Softonic link was not working for me so I had to get it from a mirror, not the latest version btw.
We really have been spoiled by the autor, the program leaves no doubt about anything.
When selecting the patch, the program shows what the source ISO should be by name. It also notes the hash for the source ISO.
After the process the resulting ISO hash is being compared to what it should be.
This is almost too easy. It's awesome.

Cheers.

For me i have to use

Code:

cd /root/smartversion-shell-scripts

 

the repository was first named like that, I adjusted the readme now. thanks

 

@luzea
Do you accept suggestions/corrections for your scripts? If so, can I post them as an issue on github?

 

of course, that’s the purpose of GitHub, collaboration.

 

Ok I am off to github. Keep in mind that I made this post at ~7:30am and 7 hours later (~2:00pm) I can only remember 1(.5) of the things I wanted to say

thanks for the info.

I made a diff of the help-output from the version v3.80 and 3.82. The following lines in the 2 sections are new:

Code:

...
Options for smv m,cr,cz,i,a before [List of file, dir, wilcard]:
    [-compressratio #] : select the block compress ratio
      ...
      if # is between 531 (faster) and 552 (smaller) : uses zstd engine with long
                          distance (smaller, need more memory)
      if # is between 501 (faster) and 572 (smaller) : uses zstd engine with very long
                          distance (need smartversion 3.8.2 to decompress)
      ...
...
smv m [OriginalSvfFile] [SvfFileToBeRebuild] [options...]
   Rebuild/Recompress svf file to create a new svf file.
Possible options:
   ...
   [-sizestreamkb #] : size of atomic compression stream in KB. Default 16
     Bigger value need more memory to compress and decompress, but can be smaller and faster
   ...
...

 

Some observations.
Source files:

Delta with switches: -nbhashbits 24 -compressratio 192 -sha1 -nomd5
Total time: 07:54
Delta from @GezoeSloog as reference file

Deltas with switches:
-nbhashbits 24 -compressratio 160 -sha1 -nomd5 (uncompressed)
Total time: 04:10
-nbhashbits 24 -compressratio 572 -sha1 -nomd5
Total time: 04:25

Then a re-compress with zstd 1.49, files are given extension .zstd - surprise:
*160.svf to *160.zstd - time 00:52 - tot time: 05:02
*572.svf to *572.zstd - time 00:52 - tot time: 05:17

Switches:
zstd.exe -T0 -19 --long=31 [file] -o [new_file]
I also tried:
zstd.exe --ultra -22 [file] -o [new_file]
would give slightly smaller size and use a little more time

I did only one test so fairly small sample size.
HW: i7 4th Gen, quad core, 8 Gb ram - doesn't give justice to the tools but i think a lot of members are using similar hw.

 

I want to make a French copy of Windows

en_Windows 10 Build 19043.928 (21H1)
To
fr_Windows 10 Build 19043.928 (21H1)

Where do I find files?

svf_french (fr)

 

You must have both en & fr languae of iso file then use svf batch maker to create a differential svf file between both . to convert svf to exe use aiosvfvx .

 

I did not understand.
