I have starwarsbattlefront2 image and it's 4.37gb. Before extract, it's about 2.5GB so I think more than 1GB are dummies. But there're no dummies when I browse image with ISObuster. contents are 2.5GB but whole dvd image take 4.37GB. how can i erase these unnoticeable dummies?

There are no dummy files in SWBF2. The reason its so big is because a false TOC has been created by placing the 1st file on the disc higher up the TOC than it would be just by dropping it into the compilation.
Just rebuild it normally & don't worry about dummys.

There's a very good PS2 rebuilding guide here...

http://www.backupscene.com/viewtopic.php?t=856 (Total & Utter noobs guide to PS2 iso rebuilding)

which actually uses SWBF2 as its example rebuild.

Hi there is actually nothing wrong with the size I have Swap magic 3.6 and the only game so far that doesn't work without a swap magic fix is DBZ 3.

PS I have already downloaded SWBF2 and it plays perfectly!
