Hello, I have seen so many people asking about how to rebuild ps2 games and also I have seen alot of people complaining that their rubuilding method doesnt work, well i've gone to the trouble to makeing these guides and making it more easier to understand, sort of like in noob langauge. I have also put pictures so alot of people can understand it :, this guide if done correctly can play the hardest games to play for swap magic eg. The EA Games, Fifa 2006 - Road to World Cup and Many More. This guide was particulary made for dummies in noob language so that everyone can understand.

Tools Needed & Where to Download:

Dvd Decrypter- http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_...

ISO Buster - http://www.isobuster.com/dl.php?v=1&l=0

CD/DVD ROM Gen -http://home.versatel.nl/joeriroels/Download/cdgen_15.rar (Credit to UCBEEF for this]

Apache2 (My Apache2, it works for me) -http://savefile.com/files.php?fid=3121797

Mirror Link Apache2(3rd paty link) - http://www.exploitstation.com/files/apache.rar (Not the server based stuff that you find in google)

Good Media, I wouldn't use 4x DVDs, they get currupted in a week or so.

THE METHOD

1) Open Dvd Decrypter and Left Click Mode>ISO>Read if its not alreaddy done so, next left click the destination folder and put the iso in a specific folder eg-FIFA06 if its fifa 06 and name the iso fifa06, press ok and than you press the Dvd Decrypt button which will take up to several minutes to burn the ps2 ISO to your hard drive.

2) Close Dvd dycrypter and open ISOBuster, Left Click File>Open Image File and look for the ISO you just decrypted, highlight it and press ok and it will show you the whole contents of the ISO. Left Click the highest file in the iso and hold shift and left click the lowest file of the ISO and it should be all highlighted (check the pic).

Right Click the hightlighted part and press Extract Objects, Extract them to a folder you would remember where you'd extract that too. (EG. Extract the Battle Front files to a folder called Battlefront 2 Files.) Leave ISO Buster as a reference.

3) Next Open CD/DVD ROM Generator, make a new project left click DVD-ROM Master Disk. Now open My Computer and go to your local disk and look for your files from the iso you extracted by ISO buster. Keep ISO buster visible, the cd/dvd generator visible and the folder full of the files visible. Look at the iso buster first file at the top, drag that from the folder to the cd/dvd gen and keep on doing it in the same order in iso buster. See Pic below

After all files is placed in correct order, Left click the volume TAB at the left of the pressed directory tab, and youll be taken to a new window, these next steps will be divided into two sections: (see the pic)

A-The disk name: put the exact same numbers / letters from the folder with the file that says sles [number] / slus [ number]. Example for me, my file said SLES_535.01, so i typed in SLES53501 in the Disc Name Boxes. Check Picture

B- Producer Name- ALWAYS PLAYSTATION, and for the Lincense area, Depends where you are, Eg If you are in Europe put europe.

Now After that has all been written down. Left Click File>Export IML File & put it in a folder you'd know you remember or on the desktop like I'd usually do. It would come with 2 files, 1 .iml and other .ims like in the pic \/ \/ \/ \/

4) Now open Apache2 and left click File>Import IML

Now you will see all the files you listed in order and press File again and press Build ISO, it will have a loading screen at the bottom on the percentage of the building iso. it will say when its done building the iso

5) Now you have your fully rebuilt ISO, The ISO will be rebuild and placed where your iml is so if your iml is on the desktop, the iso will be in the desktop.

OPTION-This is the time if you want to Patch your DNA file if you want to go online with the backup, go to this site if you want to know how to patch your iso to be online compatible
http://on-line.ps2nfo.com/
This doesn't need to be done if you dont have a router or your not going to play online.

Now Open DVD Decrypter and set the mode to write (MODE>ISO>WRITE), Place your DVD-R into the dvd-rw drive and look for the source, look for the newly rebuilt iso and select it as the source to burn.

And Finally set the burn speed to low and press the Burn Button and enjoy your newly rebuilt ISO which can now be played with swap magic.

Feel free to post the link anywhere to help everyone :)
