It doesn’t necessarily have to be such a huge HDF. The LHA is around 1.3 GB. Then you have to extract it, so you need some decent extra storage, and after that you still have to install the game → more space used. It could get tight during all these steps.

Why HDF? → So I can just copy it as a whole later. You could probably just copy the stuff into a directory too. My SD card is 256 GB ^^

Once the game is installed, you can just copy it into a folder—so WB + game without the install and unpack folders. That should make it a lot smaller. I just wanted to show one way it could work. There’s always room for improvement.

I would have hoped that the digital version would have been a ZIP file that could then be unpacked to separate English, German, Polish and Italian LHAs and possibly with a separate LHA to add the classic CDXL videos! There is no way to transfer those huge files over onto my current setup unless I just dump them on my Pistorm's SD card on a PC/Mac. It's possible but an English CD-Rom would have been better for me with a separate CD-Rom for the videos! Not economical to produce probably but it would have made installation simpler!
