u need a DNA$ code, which can be found by burning this program and loading it using a modchip and then after doing some stuff u will get a partial DNA$ code u can use. but there are sites that will give u them already so all u have to do is patch it using Windip and then burn and play! some games a lba checks or something like that so you wont be able to play online, like Socom

oh boy u have to rip the game first. insert it into the DVD drive. Then use DVDdecryptor get it here www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/dvd_rippers/dvd_decrypter.cfm

go to mode>iso>read. select source is the drive with the game. destination is where u want it to save.

once done, u will have a mds file or mdf i cant remeber which but it should be small and then an ISO. ISO files are 'images'of the game or whatever. it should be big. patch the DNA$ file to the ISO via windip and then burn, u can use DVD decryptor again, just instead go to mode>iso>WRITE and then select the file, and the DVD burner and burn.

yes u need a modchip or u can use Swap Magic, its a program u insert into PS2 and then u have to use a flip top or slidecard to switch swap magic with ur burned game w/o pressing the eject button. people with modchips have less problems even if it costs more, but its ur choice. if u want it modded, make sure u have a PRO to do it!

as for burning, i explained that in my last post. u can open up DVD decryptor again and instead use mode>iso>write and select the file and DVD burner and burn onto i would recommend DVD-R. i would recommend also use Verbatim DVD's because they work flawlessly.

cant really help you on that, it is where u selected as the 'destination' in DVDdecrptor when u made the backup. try searching for the file using the search thing on ur computer to search fo the file, try to search for the word '.iso;. and then burn with DVDdecryptor, u know how, but select the mdf or mds file whatever it is. because the mdf/s tells your computer what to do with the ISO. im sure the mdf/s is in the same folder as ur iso. and glad to help

omg i explained all that and u still dont get it?! fine i will help still...just because i know how u feel...

to copy a backup and still be able to play online:

1.insert the midnight clu racing into a DVD drive.

2.opne DVDdecryptor. select mode>iso>read. source is which drive ur game is in, destination is where u want the files that are pulled from the DVD to be saved, so somewhere like ur desktop where u can remember is good. then click the button at the bottom to start the ripping

3. once it is done, u should have a mds file which should be small and an ISO file which should be BIG.

4. use windip to patch. use the guide link
http://forums.psxforum.com/viewtopic.php?p=117528 if u need help. u need to patch the DNA$ code onto the ISO, not mds. and u dont patch the ISO on anything, u patch the DNA$ code ON the ISO. and u do it before burning. thats where u are really confused

5. onc you have patched it, open DVDdecrytor again, and select mode>iso>WRITE, and then select the mds file as the source and destination as the DVD burner u are using. insert a DVD-R into ur DVD burner and make sure it is high quality like verbatim and then burn.

6. once u have it, load it in ur PS2 with a modchip or swap magic, whatever u use.

ca va? comprende?

Ok you have helped me a lot now, for the final step. Do I patch it to my back up copy of Midnight Club3 or do i have to first burn the iso on to a blank and then burn MNC 3?

Patch the iso first, then burn it to disc. Use quality media like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim.

vince, it seems u still dont understnad the concept of ISO.

when u have the ISO, it is the 'image' of MNC 3. so the iso IS MNC 3. it is the 'image' of it and u burn the iso.

so, do this: so patch the ISO , then burn the ISO to a blank quality DVD like tokijin said. when u do that, u are basically burning MNC 3.

This has all been explained ad nausem. Read the stickies at the top of the forums if you have any further questions. You need to take the initiative and do it.
