i just successfully burned God of War :)
now my question is if i wanted to burn my another copy.can i just use Nero to make an exact copy ? or do i have to go through the process of using decrypter -> read iso -> write again?
thanks

joeqman, the only reason i posted that is because other people had asked before me. i have read the other threads with the instructions for backing up games and rebuilding them with isobuster. i followed the instructions very carefully numerous times but never have been able to get it to work. i'm not trying to 'cut corners' or just save time, but since i saw that this is a thread about backing up GoW and others had asked the same thing, i figured i would as well. thanks

Okay, so we know this game can be burned successfully, but can God of War be loaded onto a HD using HD Advance?

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/127255

the only differences are step 3)part G
it's SCUS_973.99 for my copy of God of War
and step 3) part O
i named mine GOW and got GOW.000, GOW.001, GOW.002 and GOW.003
so in step 4 part D
type COPY/B GOW.000 + GOW.001 + GOW.002 + GOW.003 GOW.ISO

I'm a total newbie to the iso rebuild thing but figured it out on my own. It's really not that bad. I'm burning my image now and will try to load it on my hard drive with HD loader.

No dummy files.
It runs with my swap magic 3.3

Programs needed:
Dvd Decrypter: http://dvddecrypter.com/index.php?act=download
Isobuster: http://www.isobusterdownload.org/isobuster_all_lang.zip
Cdvdgen: http://www.btinternet.com/~ps2rippininfo/tools/cddvdgen.exe


1) COPY THE PS2 GAME DVD TO YOUR HARD DRIVE AS AN ISO IMAGE.
a)OPEN DVD Decrypter.
b)IN THE DESTINATION AREA, CLICK ON THE FOLDER ICON TO CHOOSE BOTH A NAME AND A STORAGE LOCATION FOR THE ISO IMAGE.
c)CLICK ON MODE > ISO > READ.
d)CLICK ON THE DVD ICON TO START THE PROCESS.
e)WAIT UNTIL THE PROCESS IS FINISHED THEN CLOSE DECRYPTER AND GO TO STEP 2.

2) EXTRACT THE FILES FROM THE ISO IMAGE.
a) CREATE A NEW FOLDER ON YOUR HARD DRIVE TO STORE THE
EXTRACTED FILES.
b) OPEN ISO BUSTER AND CLICK ON FILE > OPEN IMAGE FILE.
c) NAVIGATE TO THE ISO FILE CREATED IN STEP 1 AND CLICK ON ?OPEN?.
d) HOLD THE CONTROL KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD AND LEFT CLICK
EVERY FILE AND FOLDER IN THE LIST.
e) ONCE ALL THE FILES ARE HIGHLIGHTED, RIGHT CLICK ON ONE OF THEM AND CLICK ON ?EXTRACT OBJECTS?.
f) NAVIGATE TO THE NEW FOLDER THAT YOU CREATED ON YOUR
HARD DRIVE AND CLICK ?OK?.
g) WAIT FOR THE PROCESS TO FINISH THEN CLOSE ISOBUSTER.

3) CONVERT THE EXTRACTED FILES INTO 2 BIN FILES.

a) OPEN CDVDGEN.
b) SELECT ?CREATE NEW PROJECT? AND THEN SELECT ?DVD-ROM
MASTER DISC?. DRAG CDVDGEN TO THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR
SCREEN.
c) NAVIGATE TO THE FOLDER THAT YOU CREATED ON YOUR HARD
DRIVE BACK IN STEP 2 AND OPEN IT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN.
d) SET THE WIDTH OF THAT WINDOW SO THAT IT IS ONLY 1 FILE WIDE. THIS WILL PLACE THE FILES INTO THE SAME ORDER AS THEY WERE ON THE GAME DISK BUT YOU SHOULD CHECK THEM FOR CORRECT ORDER JUST IN CASE.
e) CLICK ON EDIT > SELECT ALL.
f) DRAG ALL THE FILES INTO THE RIGHT SIDE OF CDVDGEN.
g) LOOK FOR A SLUS OR SLES FILE AND WRITE DOWN THE FULL NAME AND THEN CLICK ON THE ?VOLUME? TAB IN CDVDGEN.
h)TYPE SLUS OR SLES (WHICHEVER YOUR FILE NAME IS) INTO THE 1ST BOX NEAR "DISC NAME"
i) TYPE ALL OF THE NUMBERS FROM YOUR FILE NAME, WITHOUT THE PERIOD, INTO THE 2ND BOX.
j) TYPE PLAYSTATION FOR THE PRODUCER NAME AND SELECT THE APPROPRIATE LICENSE AREA.
k)CLICK ON "REC...".
l)SELECT YOUR DESIRED STORAGE LOCATION AND NAME THE FILE STAR.IML
m)YOU WILL GET 2 ERRORS, JUST CLICK OK FOR BOTH.
(If you get one error message, then you have to download ?WNASPI32.DLL? www.nero.com/us/WNASPI32.DLL.html
and put it in your windows system 32 folder.
n)THE RECORDING SCREEN WILL POP UP, CLICK ON FILE > EXPORT IMAGE AND SAVE IT ON ONE OF YOUR HARD DRIVES (NOT IN A FOLDER) NAME IT STAR.LST
o) WHEN IT'S FINISHED, YOU WILL HAVE 2 FILES NAMED STAR.000 AND STAR.001
p)CLOSE CDVDGEN AND GO TO STEP 4.

4) MERGE THE .000 AND .001 FILES INTO A SINGLE ISO IMAGE.
THE EASIEST WAY TO MERGE THE FILES IS FROM A COMMAND SCREEN.
YOU WON'T HAVE TO INSTALL AN EXTRA PROGRAM THAT MAY NEED
EXTRA FILES TO WORK AND COME ON, ADMIT IT, DOS IS SO MUCH FUN!!
a)CLICK THE WINDOWS START BUTTON AND CLICK ON RUN.
b)TYPE CMD IN THE BOX AND HIT ENTER.
c)CHANGE THE DIRECTORY TO MATCH WHERE YOUR STAR.000 AND STAR.001
FILES ARE STORED.
EXAMPLE- IF THEY ARE ON THE C DRIVE, TYPE CD C:\ AND HIT ENTER.
IF THEY ARE ON ANOTHER DRIVE, TYPE THE DRIVE LETTER WITH A COLON AND HIT ENTER.
d)ONCE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT DIRECTORY-
TYPE COPY/B STAR.000 + STAR.001 STAR.ISO AND THEN HIT ENTER.
e)WHEN IT'S FINISHED YOU WILL HAVE A NEW ISO IMAGE NAMED STAR.ISO THAT YOU CAN NOW BURN IN STEP 5.

5) BURN THE NEW ISO IMAGE ONTO A BLANK DVD.
USE YOUR FAVORITE DVD BURNING UTILITY TO BURN IT AT THE
SLOWEST SPEED.

I been playin the original, so thank god for that. now im just plain stuck in the game. I honestly think it may have to do with the dvd being dual layered. it could be the half-way point. If im right that means theres gonna be alotta angry people in a couple of hours. thanks for responding though.

If that is the case... don't you think there'd be a save point that over laps, and you could make two seperate discs?

(i'm thinking because thats what you had to do on Grandia 2 on DreamCast)

I have two questions of God Of War

I used HD Loader, and heard that God of War is crashing at a certain point, is that true?

Second, if you make the DVD5 which is 3.9 gigs, what is taken out? the movies?

If your back up frozed in the middle of the game, then my fear might have come true. It's missing the second layer info. Everyone listen!!! Layer 1 (which is the second layer) has one file "Part2.pak" I strongly believe that this file is essential to the game. I've already tried to take all the files from layer 0, except for Part1.pak (the first layer) and combine them with Part2.pak for create the image for a "disc 2". the result was the game not even been able to start at all. That was the only thing I can think of. Until a definite solution has been found. THE BACKUPS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS NOT 100% CRASHPROOF!! I just don't want anyone to think that we've already cracked it.

To whoever got to that part and it freezes... How many hours into the game is it?

I think if there is more to it, we'll have to get to that point before something is figured out to create a 2nd disc. (is it possible). I'm thinking you wont be able to boot from it, but rather swap again post load. I have no idea.

Hopefully someone will figure it out!
until then, everyone keep playing!

How much space do you need to free open to do the whole god of war to DVD-5 process? Also do you have to have a dual layer reader to extract Both layers out? Do you only extract one layer, because I can't seem to extract the second layer?
