Hi guys!
I did everything just like it is described on first page by user alkohol.
The only differenceI can find is on step 3, disc name is not started with SLUS or SLES, but with SCES.
Can this be a problem?
Thanks for answers!

I kept getting the game not loading at the GT Logo when the tacometer spins. I followed all the directions to a T but it all ended up with the same results. This is what I did different to make the rebuild work. After you rebuild using the GT4 DVD5 Ripper v1.02 do not apply the patch. Then after you create the IML file, Rebuild the IML into ISO with Apache 2.0. Then I used Alcohol 120% to burn. I works like a champ and loads fast. I used a Memorex +R.

If I were saving god of war to my PS2 HD, would I just put it on my computer using DVD Decrypter, and then use hdl dump, to put on my ps2 hd?

That's pretty normal, especially if you're using the PAL version with Swap Magic 3.6.

11. Q. How Do I rebuild games?
A. With Nero and Isobuster (works as long as no single file is over 2 GB's): http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/197949
With CD/DVDGen: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/210515
With Expert (Gnie's new rebuilding tool):
Gnie's PS2 Auto Rebuilder Tool Download (Thanks to 3DLuis):
http://www.alucard.cc/ps2/ExPERT_v1.03.rar
Instructions to Gnie's Tool ExPERT From Paddymail:

Here's how to use it.. it might not work for all games though.

Open the program.

1. Select the Shrinker_ps2_psp_CdDvd5_iso.epi on the plugins drop down list.
2. Select the iso you want to rebuild.
3. Click extract LBA.
4. Click extract file and wait for it to finish.
5. Click rebuild file and wait for it to finish.
6. Click rebuild LBA.
7. Burn the new iso with Nero or DVD Decrypter as usual.

Nero does work great. I "acquired" a version of it. It's a little expensive for an unemployed student.

Well paying $80.00 dollars was well worth it for my father and I. We were tired of all the fake versions or demos so my dad just decided to go ahead and buy it.

I thought about getting the ver7, but my ver6 does the job perfectly... Besides i think ver7 isn't any better than ver6 anyway, it's just filled with crap to 'enlarge' the package so people who buy it think that they are buying a lot more than what they really are buying. If anyone has the old version and it works, stick to it. Ver7 isn't worth the change...


If it ain't broken it doesn't need fixing...

its "worth" it because all it cost is a little time to "acquire" it nothing needed other than time

Will I be able to just use DVD Decrypter, ISO Buster, and Nero to burn and play a PS2 double layer game sucessfully? Is it mandatory for me to have Gnie's IML2ISO v4, Gnie's ExPERT, APACHE 3, and CD/DVD GEN 1.5 to burn and play it?

Swap Magic doesn't support DVD-9 games. You'll need to rebuild the game to single layer.

18. Q. How do I shrink a DVD-9 game to DVD-5?
A. This differs on a game to game basis. Typically when shrinking a DVD-9 game to fit on a DVD-5 DVD, you'll want to take out FMV's, dummy files, and extras. Not all games have dummy files. For popular games search the forums and you'll find some nice rebuild guides for Xenosaga, God of War, and GTA 4. There's only 14 or 15 DVD-9 games at present, so don't panic. You only have to do this with Swap Magic or HD Advance 2.0 and earlier.
