Ok, just letting people know how I got this game going for swap magic 3.6.. this is for PAL version of the game which starts out as 5.79GB.. too big to fit on a DVD-5 disc.
Ok first of all ripped it to hard drive with dvd decrypter.
Open up gnie's ExPERT rebuilding tool, I am using ver 1.04(can be found at my "programs..check here" thread or from various other places)
Choose the shrinker tool.
select the iso file you just ripped to hard disc as the source.
1.click extract LBA.
2.click extract files.
3.click rebuild files.
4.click rebuild LBA.
(in all cases wait for the program to finish that task before continuing to the next step)
The NEW-24.iso should now be only around 2.8GB.. burn that file to disc using image burning software such as nero's "burn image to disc" option or dvd decrypter onto good quality media... works like a charm :)

Does this work on a PS2 with a modchip? no swap magic? also it says on expert creators website you need to do more things to make it work is this true? any help i'd appreciate.

It should work for modchip too.. don't know what you're saying about the creators website etc.. all I know is that's how I did it and do the same for most of my games that need a rebuild.. up to you though if you want to waste a DVD-9 when you don't need to.. most of the size of this game is empty space and dummy files.. hence it's down to 2.8gb from 5.8gb.

You no gnie do you need to do all this fixing lba and all this? You know gnies expert is it normal it gets stuck on extracting files or do you just leave it? I just done it with fight night round 2 to just check if this software is good and it works, and it works perfectly better then the one that was 4gb it cancelled it down to 2.5 gig! it works on my modchip!

it is normal cuz extracting 1 of the file is about 4gb(take about 6 to 10mins, old tool)new tool will be faster and also using 1 more progress bar you will know the file still extracting.the rebuild lba bugs is incorrect sector for bigger 4gb(old tool)after rebuild the lba is this 00000A94|0E56E000|000828D0|\GAMEDATA.2
,new tool already fixed.00200A94|0E56E000|000828D0|\GAMEDATA.2
here is the screen shoot of ver 1.05.

Ok thanks Gnie.. it seems to be working ok at the moment though, will let you know if the game messes up during gameplay... i'm only a few levels in at the minute.
I always keep the old .iso file to work with until tested the game anyway, so no problem.... I always advise doing this until you test the game thoroughly.

Or version 1.04 too... I'm sure I mentioned in the first post where you could get it from??? maybe I should have been more specific and said in my profile..although if you look in my sig line, it says "all links are now in my profile.. please check there"
Sorry if you were confused.
P.S Thanks for linking to them for him Jparkes :)

if you use Apache2 2 look at the second layer you will find another file 3gig that you need ie disk 2
the disk that gnie tool makes is disk 1
you need to make disk two useing the same files but use datafile 2 as
please correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure im not
