Sorry if I'm asking a dumb question, but when I create the DUMMY files, do I create literally "zero-data blank" files (with nothing in them), or do I have to make it exactly the same size as the actual files?

And what's the first part with the numbers in your FileList.txt?
Quote:
0000322 , I:\SYSTEM.CNF
It doesn't seem like filesize to me, and it definitely isn't an md5 hash...

One last thing: after I use CD/DVD-ROM Generator to save the IML file, CD/DVD-ROM Recording Unit Controller starts up and tells me "The Recording Unit is not connected." and "Initialization failed." Is there any way I can fix that? If not, do I burn the .000 file with my burner program so that it automatically combines all the files?

3dluis: DRAKO, you need to burn a 3rd disc containing the STAGE2.DAT cause thats where it is.
I don't know how you burn it exactly, but maybe you can ask 3luis about it.


By the way, I've successfully burned a disc now. The dummy files are literally blank so that the files can fit on a dvd5. Then I followed this guide: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/275350 to burn the dvd. But I still don't get what the numbers in the FileList are...

@madboy

you have wasted your time trying to fit this onto 1 disk,as its not possible
it needs splitting across 2 disks

well you will have a black screen,thats probably the point where it looks for the second layer
thats why it needs splitting on 2 disks,so yes,you need to carry on the game with the 2nd disk
this game is a bitch to split,and my advice is to buy a copy off ebay

You need the STAGE 2 DAT, which is where the file is. You must burn a nother DVD

madboy: To create DUMMY files, just create any file (you can do it with Notepad) and rename it to something else. Be sure to also change the file extension.
I'm not sure what 3dluis meant by the STAGE2.DAT disc. Didn't the tutorial tell us to burn that file on the second disc? Why would we need a third disc?

... Did you follow the tutorial when you created the second disc? It tells you everything you need to know to burn it. You can't just burn one file on the disc and expect your ps2 to be able to read it.

Im having the same problem. I followed the guide exactly and both discs work fine. The first DVD has the game and the 2nd one has the missions. However when it comes to the end where Solidus chokes Raiden, the game goes black. How do create a 3rd disc to solve this problem? The guide only shows how to do 2 DVDs

Hello!

I found a solution for making 3rd DVD of MGS2:Substance to proceed from the choking moment. All you need to do is to burn all the files from both layers (following Septiego's guide, see previous page for CD-Check removal) with exception for MOVIE.DAT, STAGE2.DAT and VOX2.DAT, which should be dumped with an empty file, f.ex. a text file containing "1" (renamed to match the missing files names). Here is the filelist:

0000322 , \SYSTEM.CNF
0000323 , \MODULES\IOPRP250.IMG
0000453 , \MODULES\IOPRP252.IMG
0000583 , \MODULES\IOPRP253.IMG
0000714 , \MODULES\IOPRP254.IMG
0000844 , \MODULES\IOPRP255.IMG
0000974 , \MODULES\MODULE.IPK
0001156 , \MODULES\PLD.IRX
0001157 , \SKATE\FBD\SKATE2.FBD
0001158 , \SKATE\IOPRP255.IMG

0001302 , \SKATE\SOUND\VOICE0.BIN
0001303 , \SKATE\SOUND\VOICE1.BIN
0001304 , \SKATE\SOUND\WAVEDATA.BIN
0001305 , \SLUS_205.54
0001722 , \MGS2\CODEC.DAT
0029245 , \MGS2\DEMO.DAT
0029246 , \MGS2\DEMO2.DAT
0182680 , \MGS2\FACE.DAT
0197870 , \MGS2\MOVIE.DAT
0456619 , \MGS2\MOVIEVR.DAT
0675228 , \MGS2\STAGE.DAT
1009893 , \MGS2\STAGE2.DAT
1651194 , \MGS2\VOX.DAT
2262864 , \MGS2\VOX2.DAT

Left is LBA, right is file address. Make sure you build the DVD in $ony CD/DVD Generator and not in CDGenPS2, because it's only for CD ISO file creating.

I hope this helps.
