<< How To Rebuild PS2 games using Gnie's ExPERT guide by Alkohol >>
OK folks I just want to throw in another Gnie's ExPERT rebuilding guide and add to my guide here that's all. For those that has no idea on how to use Gnie's ExPERT; here's a simple guide for you all, so look no further. Basically, Gnie's ExPERT is another useful tool that automatically rebuild the ISO into a new rebuilt ISO without going through hustle or hassle.
**Things to remember: make sure your burner's firmware is up-to-date with the latest available firmware for your burner. Firmware enhances media compatibility, with that being said, it helps to burn and or write to the most newest media in the market now-a-days easily. Another good rule of thumb is to always use high quality media, don't blame me if you burned it too fast, too slow or if you're using crap/junk unknown media.
<><> Tools needed <><>
<> DVD Decrypter 3.5.4.0
<> Gnie's ExPERT v1.03 Rebuilding Tool
<><><> STEP 1 <><><>
<> Rip the original ISO with DVD Decrypter
<> put original PS2 game inside dvd burner or dvd rom drive
<> open up DVD Decrypter 3.5.4.0
<> Mode, ISO, Read R (to your hard drive)
<> set "source" = where the original PS2 game is located
<> set "destination" = to your hard drive
<> click DECRYPT (and now wait until it's completed)
==============================================================
you should know how to rip the original PS2 game's ISO with DVD Decrypter already
==============================================================
If you still DON'T KNOW how to rip the main ISO with DVD Decrypter, then it is obvious that you're not a true gamer(s).
**NOTE: Extremely important here; for this guide, I will use the ISO disc 2 from XENOSAGA only, but you can use it for any of your future or new PS2 games ripped ISO.
<><><> SETP 2 <><><>
<> Rebuild the ISO with Gnie's ExPERT
**NOTE: you can use any of your ripped PS2 game's ISO, this is just my example only**
That's it.... easy as sippin' on some Hennessey. Now just burn your new rebuilt ISO with DVD Decrypter with some high quality media like Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim "advanced azo or datalife plus" or Maxell (made in japan by Hitachi Corp.) and you should be all square away.
<><><> STEP 3 <><><>
<> burn your newly rebuilt ISO with DVD Decrypter 3.5.4.0
<> open up DVD Decrypter
<> put a high quality media inside your dvd burner
<> set your "source" = browse to your new rebuilt ISO from your hard drive
<> set your "destination" = to your dvd burner
<> set your burning speed to 4X
<> click on WRITE (now sit tight until it's successfully completed)
That's it... enjoy your new backup now.

Right, i gotta question. Why is it when i use DVD Decrypter to read the .iso file off my GT4 Disc, i get two different files? One of them is 4GB and the other is 1GB. I also get some other file with it. I tried using Ultra Iso to burn it all into one big .Iso file but i just got one 4GB file again. I don't really remember what the files i get are, but it shouldnt matter. Im sure this shouldnt be happening. GT4 takes ages to load up, i just wanted t put it on my HDD. Thanx, I'm out

Hi everyone, I've downloaded Urban Reign and when I opened it I found out that there were several files numbered like WinRAR but there weren't rar files then I read the post that said to use Hjsplit and so I did and I end up w/ one file, the thing is that this file ain't ISO and doesn't have a file extension, this is where I ask. Can I burn this file in order to be able to play it on PS2?
I have a printscreen of it if anyone wants to see it.
Cheers!

@ C_O_G Are you sure they're not rar files? Rar files don't always have the rar extension. Right click the first numbered file and click "extract here." If that doesn't work, then double click the the first numbered file, right click the iso file and click "extract to specified folder."

Hi Tokijin, yes I'm sure, as I said before I was in doubt wich program to use but then I got a tip that I should use HJSplit then it worked marvelously, but the thing is, I got a file that has no extension and I don't know if I can burn it or not in order to have a PS2 game.
Is there a mandatory type of files and number of files to be on a PS2 CD/DVD compilation?

Any chance some one can re-host the programs needed to re-build Gran Turismo 4? If you post them to yousendit, I can host them for everyone.

Hoi Tokijin/alcohol, i've DL the Sonix's full GT4 Tool Kit and rebuild my ISO-(PAL)file with Alcohols way (page 5). My new ISO have a size of 4.31 GB (it's probally normal because the PAL version-original is about 5.3 GB). It loads (asking to save the game at the memory card and to make a players account - after that a lot of information (clicking about 8 x at OK)- pressing START), but after that i get a grey screen with information of the one of the firms who helped to make GT4 and then the game freezes. I think that the problem is my audio. I've followed Tokijins advice and i've ordered some Taiyo Yuden-DVD+RW from the UK and when receiving those DVD's, i'm gonna burn the new ISO again. I keep you guys informed. Thanks anyway.

@ bmcoach There's plenty of versions of GTA4 that have already been rebuilt to DVD-5 available over BitTorrent. What kind of media are you using?
@ 2IIPack The GT4 ripkit by Sonix downsizes the movie files, allowing the game to fit on single layer DVD.

First, i already use the torrent system (”torrent) to DL. I have the original game of GT4 so i want to use my uploadlimiet for other games.
Second, you already asked me the same question at thread_view.cfm/3/260572 and my answer was
"Decrypter says : Disc ID: Plasmon1-C01-00S"
Because those kind of DVD's are shit, you adviced me to buy some TY's. I followed your adviced and i expect to get my ordered TY's in 2-4 days. I give you a sign after a new burning attempt. Greetz.
