I have the original disk and have been trying to back rogue galaxy. I've researching and found these intructions:
1. Rip game to harddrive. Make sure all 6 GB are ripped.
2. Use apache 3 to extract.
--Extract Layer0 to the RIP folder
--Extract Layer1 to the RIP folder
3. Made sure NO other programs are running, disconnect internet (for safety), freed up to 15GB of free Hard drive space, and had more than enough RAM (512 MIN).
4. Run bat file.
5. When the DVD IML2ISO appears, open up the file "rouge.iml".
6. Click Start.
7. When done, burn the game. (make sure the final image is about 4.3GB)
I used DVD Decrypter to save the disk to the computer. Now I am stuck with apache 3. When I try to extract one layer, it gives me the whole 6 gigs. The instructions says "ripped folder"? So I just extract to a new folder right? Lastly, where is the bat while?
Sorry for the trouble. I am new to apache.
Apache 3 extracts both layers (all 6 gig) at once for you. No need to switch layers anymore.
The download contains a folder labeled rip extract to your hdd first. Then this is were you want to extract your image files to.
The .bat file is in this same folder.
The whole point of this rip kit is to make a DVD5. So how can you make a DVD5 first then use this? Unless you have another rip kit. Then what's the sense of your thread?
Just for your info: DVD9 holds about 7.95 gig of info and a DVD5 holds about 4.3 gig. An original Rogue Galaxy disk is a DVD9. That is why we have to down size it to fit on a DVD5. This is done so people using Swap Magic and CogSwap can boot the backup. ModChip users can use a DVD9 backup.
ok so heres what i did. 1) I backed up rogue galaxy to my hd using DVD Decrypter. 2)Exract the "RIP" folder from RG1DVD5 (downloaded from the link above) 3) Used apache 3 and opened the backed up rogue galaxy and extract it to the "RIP" folder. 4) ran .bat and then gdvd4-iml2iso came up and i clicked "start" and it gave me this "Code 2011 - Error Opening C:\VIDEO_TS\RIP\TEST.IML" 5) i ran gdvd4-iml2iso again and this time i opened the only file in the "RIP" folder that has .IML 6) image was rebuilt
I'm going to burn the image using DVD Decrpyter and see if it works. But I thought i read somewhere that you had to back up rogue galaxy and split the image onto 2 DVDs? Also, while playing up to chapter 7 you switch disks?
Well I only have 1 image file to burn onto a SINGLE DVD disk.
In the readme.txt that is in the rip folder also it says to open rogue.iml. As long as this is the iml you used it should be fine. But really I don't think any other iml file would work anyway. I say burn it and enjoy.
Also the reason it's able to fit to single DVD5 is because this rips the staff credits out. Reducing overall size. If you want to watch them their on youtube. Sorry no links.
YES IT WORKS!!! and i remember that i did opened the rogue.iml. i found the link to the ending credits if anybody wants to watch : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xm6PSZlZg0
Hello all. Is there another link to the RG1DVD5.rar file? For some reason I can't get downloads from that place. Or if you could email it to me that would be fine too. It would be appreciated.
