follow this guide when extracting images and rebuilding them
certain games have large TOC'S which must be rebuilt to remove/replace dummy files
however,when doing this,there are occasions when the "2gb" per file cannot be handled by nero,and there are dummy bins that need replacing
we can do this
app required
isobuster
cd/dvd gen
gnies iml2iso
dummy file maker
you can get these from www.alucard.cc and if they are not there,get then from the net somewhere
for this i will use SONIC HEROES as an example
step 1
extract the image into a new folder,remembering what order they appeared in,a good tip here is to open the empty folder,and before you start dragging them in,is to squash the folder,so its narrow,this way they will form a list type order.
you will notice there is a dummy bin,it should be 1.53 GB in size.dont put this in the new folder
step 2
we need to replace the bin image with a smaller bin file..
open up dummy file.exe and pick location(put the dummy bin in a separate folder,so you dont get mixed up),
where there is a number,i.e "1",thats the size of the dummy bin,in mb's,so leave it as "1"
click build
YOU MUST RENAME THIS NEW DUMMY BIN,AS IT APPEARS IN THE ORIGINAL GAME
in this case for sonic heroes..._DUMMY_.BIN
you should now have 1 folder full of the game files less the dummy bin,and another folder containing the dummy bin image you made.
step 3
open cd/dvd gen
click create new project
thenDVD-ROM master disc
then click volume
where it says disc name,you need to enter the disc id from the list of files you have stored away,
for sonic heroes,the copy i have is SLUS_207.18
so enter that there,
where it says producer name.enter what you like.i.e hursty,and the license area europe,it doesnt matter
then click DIRECTORY
then open the folder which contains the game files/images etc,(get the cd/dvd gen and the folder open on the same screen,its easier)
now drag the folders,files,images over into cd/dvd gen one by one,remembering the order that they appeared in iso buster very important
dont forget the DUMMY BIN,you need to slot this in,exactly where it was,(in isobuster),in this case it was second from bottom
step 4
click REC
a new window should appear,...enter a file name,(i.e hursty),then click save
you may get some error messages pop up,but dont worry,click through them
then you should get another window pop up,with some more options
click on FILE...>..EXPORT IMAGE..
the window from before should pop up,this is where the IML FILE is going to go
so just click save again
then the IMAGE CREATING symbol should start to flash,and we are good to go,leave it alone to do its job
this is creating an iml file which we now have to convert to iso format,
step 5
you should now have a folder which contains a few files,which may look like this,001,002
gnies iml2iso is next
open the app,and on the right hand side,there is a little box,with 3 dots in it,click this,and source the folder which contains the iml files,i.e hursty.iml,select it,then.....
click start
hopefully the progress bar will start to move,and we are on the last hurdle.
the iso will be located in the folder,where the iml files are
step 6
burn it with your favorite burning app
the new TOC for this game is approx 3 gb's.(sonic heroes)
this should now boot without having to do a TOC refresh :)
if this guide has been posted before,or you have another way of doing this,pls do not critisize,as i have not seen it,and have spent time writing this out
regards to those who made the app' needed for this
regards hursty
