@suliam - You do not need to rebuild Tekken 5 so that it would work with Swap magic. You Can Alreaddy Straight burn it with DVD Decrypter

Well I was hopeing you fix it so when noobs download they wont get confused. But anyway I rebuilt my game with Nero guide and now yours. Still I cant get this game to run properly. I overwrote the dummy file and rebuilt the game. I tried three diffrent types of media and none of them seem to work better than the next.

Dragon quest 8 has been a tough fix,but I decided not to give up.I just know i can get this game to run properly. Its playable but the laggy pauses is annoying.

I will continue to try.

The answer is NO... (I may be wrong, but I doubt it). GT4 is one of the most toughest game that needs to rebuild up-to-date. You'll need the GT4's special tool by Sonix. Just do a search in here and you'll find it. Back then when GT4 first came out like a few months, a lot of the older members that were using Swap Magic (including myself, simpsim1, evenflow, and other members) we were trying to backup with tons of methods, unfortunately we failed to have a 100% successful. However, we did managed to get to somewhere like 94 or 95% though, and if you have an already save in your memory, then it will work just like the original.

Then times went by, Sonix was successfully to come up with a tool for GT4, and boom....... everything else is history. So just do a search and you'll find the NEW thread or the old thread by "Simpsom1".

Thanx for the info Alkohol! I have downloaded the Sonix tool and have gotten my backup to work. I've only played a little bit but it seems to work fine. The first backup I did would start to load and then go to a black screen and stop. After that I used better media (sony -R)and the Sonix tool and it worked fine. If you here of an easier way to do it let me know.I used Decrypter, Sonix GT4 tool, PSS Down, Apache, CD/DVD Gen.

Usually, for me, that means the files are way to small. Are you sure your inserting the real big files??

hi i had to rebuild starwars battlefront 2. in one of the threads on here you can get software called expert_v1.03 this software is all you need to rebuild the game. first use DVD Decrypter to put game on hard drive make a folder for game. when you open expert genie. select shrinker _ps2_psp_cddvd5_iso_epi on the plugins list. 2.select iso from the folder you put game.3.click extract lba 4.click extract file. 5.click rebuild file. 6.click rebuild lba. after that in the folder you put game will be a new iso use dvd decryter speed 4 and it will work fine. hope that helps.

Roslyn, I have been trying to rebuild King Kong using Nero without success. I have just tried your method with expert_v1.03 and followed your instructions and it worked. Thanks.
