Well so far i'ved burned 3 dvd's. (metal gear 2) and (star wars). I go to swap the disk and it starts loading. I can see the company logo of the game as if it's going to play and then it goes blank and stays there. Any Ideas?
You can't just do an image creation with DVD Decrypter, then turn around an burn it. It's not going to work on all games. You have to clean out the "dud" space that the original image has, then rebuild the image, then you use DVD Decrypter to burn the new image to disc.
An original PS2 game disc has blank spaces on it. Imagine a record album with songs on every other track. When you do just a straight image creation, then a reburn of that image, the blank space is put close to the inner ring of the disc, and the software is pushed to the outter portion of the disc.
Below is how I create my games, and I have yet to see it fail.
** DVD Decrypter to create initial image.
** ISOBuster to extract the files of the image (doing away with the dud space.
** CD/DVD Gen to create the necessary files for rebuilding the image.
** IML to ISO to put the files together to create the final image.
** DVD Decrypter to burn the final image.
Here are the tools you need. You can thank me later.
As far as links to the programs, there should be some time left on the uploads I have provided. Here you go.
CD/DVD Generator 1.20 with patch file.
http://s42.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0G63XW1HUIQLK2X0KPM9CEKPHB ** If you forget to patch this program after you install it, it will not work correctly, and you will create coasters. **
** The best way to install this program is to unzip all files to a new folder, then run the setup. Afterwards, go back and double click on the file with the word "patch" in it. It will be found in a separate folder inside the folder you unzipped the program to. Double click the patch file, and the patcher opens up. Click the three dots (...), and browse to the C:\Program Files\CD_DVD-ROM Generator 1.20 folder. Then select the cddvdgen file.
1. Create the image with DVD Decryptor.
2. Drag the image into ISOBuster (the iso file).
3. Write down the names you see.
4. Now, make a new folder called "iso-rebuilt."
5. Press Cntrl A in ISOBuster to highlight all files.
6. Right click and "extract to" the "iso-rebuilt" folder.
7. When that is done, close ISOBuster.
8. Open the program CD/DVD ROM Generator.
A. Click "new project."
B. Select DVD.
9. Looking at your "iso-rebuilt" folder, drag each file over into
the CD/DVD Rom Generator in the order in which you wrote them
down earlier.
10. Click the "volume" button at the top.
11. For the Disc name, put in Slus, then the number
NOTE: the number is found on one of the file names.
12. For Producer, put in Playstation
13. Click the Record button.
14. You get two errors, this is correct.
15. Click File/Export IML, dump them to your desktop.
16. When this is done, close the program.
17. Open up gdvd4-iml2iso, and have it open the first .iml file
by clicking the ... at the end of the iml box name.
18. Click the Start button on the program.
19. It is now building you a new image of the game.
20. Once done, close that program, open up DVD Decrypter, and have
it burn the new image. From there, you can use DVD Decrypter
to create another image of this burned cd to make "copies" for
your friends without having to go through all of the above
steps over again. This only needs to be done for each new
game title.
Digital9x
** Special Notes **
I have the new slim-line PS2.
I use -R blank DVDs
I'm also using Swap Magic 3.6 with a new lid installed on my PS2.
Well digital9x that is nothing but rebuilding your game thats to much to burn a game all the time only the ones that need it metal gear doesn't need it or star wars i got both game with swap magic and fliptop they work fine. hey prpapi7 what media are you burning them on if i may ask?
try TDK or Philips DVD-R 8X
They work really good
I tried to do them on some Philips +R
and it has bad load times and skips in the music
my PS2 must not like +R, but the -R Philips worked great
And the Philips +R work great for movies so that is what
i use those for now.
