I opened my .NRG file containing GT4 using ISOBuster...and there is 2 files....and UFD and an ISO and they contain the exact same files...that made me curious...but then again...im a newbie and never used ISOBuster before...but also never had a problem burning ANY game...anyways...while i was searching through the files of the game i saw a .IMG file In the .NRG...it was another image file...now i dont know if thats suppose to be there...but it looked fishy...and Image file in a image file? is that how all games are?...well i popped in 4 games...2 original...and 2 copies..and they all have .IMG...so there that goes...and all of the games also have the .ISO and .UFD...so back to square one...now i was wondering...is GT4 eyetoy compatable? because there is a file that says eyetoy.irx...dummy file? maybe..so i compared GT3 and GT4...looks like GT4...and they put ALOT of effort into GT4...and im thinkin the ESPON folder for the printing has alot of dummy files....God i hope someone will find this out soon!

Yes it is Eyetoy compatible....for those people who bought that Nike pack with the GT4 shoes and Tshirt, and the epson folder is so you can print photos directly to a compatible Epson printer that stuff definately isnt dummy files. Either way those files are TINY....you need to find a way to compress GT4.VOL and GT4L1.VOL

okay...so there goes the eyetoy thing...and i know you can print things out...but maybe a dummy file is is in the epson is what im saying...there has got to be a dummy file somewhere...i dont think compressing the .vol files will do any good...

question...can't i just extract all of the EPSON files?
1. i dont have a espon printer
2. i dont want to waste ink on printing a picture of my car...what am i gunna do with it?

im wondering...will the image file stay the same and make a new image file if i take out the ESPON files...or will it overwrite my image file...because if it makes another image file ( a one without the EPSON files) i have no problem extracting those files...

If someone made it, perhaps we have already gotten copied one.

Quite right. The peeps who get it working seem to disappear very quickly from whence they came!! :D

The amount of interest this is getting and the amount of people who have worked on a solution and we are expected to believe someone claims?? without PPF/ripkit/working ISO.

Hmmm i'm glad i've been playing it for the past 3 months while watching this thread.

Looking at it, we are still no closer to a working backup.

Hi,
I have the PAL version of gt4 and I'm waiting for a solution to backup it on a dvd dl media.
But my ps2 is modded with messiah2 wich (i think) doesn't read DVD-9 media.
Is there a modchip for ps2 v7 that read backup game on dvd-r (dl) or dvd+r (dl)?
It's said that matrix infinity does it.....is there someone who tried and confirm that?

Thanks

Bye

hi all, sorry dont have the game yet but is there a dummy.bin file on the disk? if there is you could try making your own dummy and then rebuild the dl iso with CD DVD-ROM Generator 1.50 it suports dl and it mite be worth a look.

Sorry if this dont help it was just a thought :-)

Also, if you tell IsoBuster to "Find missing UDF Files Folders" it does find something. This is off of a NTSC dvd.

everyone head over to www-ps2ownz-com right now!!
looki what they got!!

(off the site)
Until there is a PROPER scene release, those interested can now view the cars and the intro to Gran Turismo 4 with this nice GT4 VOL Extractor utility by Darthi8nt (with help from Sonix). The utility will extract movies in PSS MPEG file format, and PSS Player (available in our Site Utilities section can be used to view them.

Someones getting closer at least!! :) Hope they (or anyone for that matter) can be the first to come up with a solution.

Good luck everyone!
