This paper explores the feasibility and methodology of creating "Highly Compressed" archives of the PlayStation 2 title Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks (2005). While standard compression formats (ZIP, RAR) yield minimal space savings on binary disc images (ISO), this study proposes a "Repackaging & Resource Pruning" strategy. By dissecting the ISO structure, removing redundant padding data, downsampling non-essential audio, and applying modern LZMA compression, we demonstrate how storage footprint can be reduced by over 60% without critically compromising core gameplay mechanics or visual fidelity.

A standard Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks ISO file takes up roughly 2.5 GB to 4.3 GB of storage space. Highly compressed versions use advanced archiving formats (like .7z , .rar , or .chd ) to reduce this footprint down to 1 GB or even a few hundred megabytes. Why Players Prefer Compressed Formats:
, this format allows the emulator to run the compressed game directly. You can create these using by selecting "Gzip" as the archive format. ZSO Format
Beyond compression, the community has created mods that genuinely make Shaolin Monks a superior experience to the 2005 original.
