I joined ps2ownz, but still have to wait 5 days before I can download attachments. So, if anyone who can download the patch could post it somewhere that the rest of us can get to, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

ps2 v7 with matrix infinity and 160gb hdd
pioneer a05 dvd-rw
Nero Burning Rom
Windows XP Pro
psp with 3.40oe-a custom firmware
Gamecube with SD Media launcher, SD Gecko, and Action Replay.

whatis datawrite red? never heard of that dvd.maybe that is why your ps2 don't pick it up. try other media brand...like verbatim, tayo yuden, ritek or even tdk. i don't think ps2 recognizes that disc at all

I was able to get this to work, whithout making any changes to the ISO, by using hdldumb, and hdld_svr.elf.
I have used this same method, for other games that wouldn't load properly. I haven't tried loading the file using the optical drive option, and the DVD I burned initially, but this method worked for blood rayne 2.

thanks...
I followed the instructions to a T and used Nero at 2x (memorex)DVD-R. It passed through the Lucas Arts Logo but the game freezes. Also, I tried the process of saving the image first using DVD Decrypter before ISOBuster but with same results.
I wonder why am I getting 1,935MB instead of 1.8GB as mentioned by other members earlier on this thread. CDVDGen created *.000, *.001 and *.lst. File.000 is 1,048,512KB while File.001 is 932,064KB respectively.
Can someone verify this?
