Hello everybody.
I'm Italian and I speack english quite well, so excuse me for the bad english.
Well, I was very interested to play MTS 3 before the version PAL comes, so I downloaded USA version by eMule. I tried to burn that image and play, but after the KONAMY logo, an icon appears on the top-left side of the screen that means (I think) a "?" and a CD.
I used Swap magic 3.6 with DVD loader 7, but it doesn't work. So What can I do?? Please respond me soon!!!

I use Swap Magic 3.6 and it does not need the "DVD loader" program to work.

Just boot swap magic then choose video mode as PAL (i also have the US version of game and im in the UK)

and it works.

If you extract the files in the .ISO you will see there is a dummy file called "DUMMY.DAT".

-I opened notepad and created a new file by only pressing the space bar once to create a byte of data.
-I then saved this file as "DUMMY.DAT" to overwrite the original file (original is about 1MB)

from what ive heard you need to replace these dummy files as it can stop the game from loading if you dont.

You will need these programs

1)"ISO buster" (to extract the files from the .ISO)
2)then replace the DUMMY.DAT with what I just said above.
3)then rebuild the ISO using "CDVDGen" and save the .iml file
4)then convert the iml to iso using the "iml2iso" version 4 program.

If you have never rebuilt a game before, search the tutorials for how to rebuild games and how to replace the DUMMY files.

this should give you the info you need to get it working.


On my first burn I replaced the DUMMY file because I knew if i did not it would probably cause those problems.... and it works for me :)

The game is usually rebuilt before being uploaded onto the net, so it is probably the media brand you are using. Look at the - Games stuttering and skipping or just not booting up at all
link in my signature.

I haven't played snake eater, but from what ive heard, subsistence is the same as snake eater except for new things like the 3rd person camera angle and other things.


disc2 is for online play (will reqiure DNAS patching)

disc3 is a movie disc i think.

i only got disc1.
