the game killzone is too big to be swapped with smack down here comes the pain so i thought i could rebuild it.

the main files are

FILES.DAT
FILES01.DAT
FILES02.DAT
FILES03.DAT
FILES04.DAT

each one of these files is approx 1 gig apart from fileso4.dat which is half a gig.

i was wondering if anybody new which one of these is a dummy file

Short answer; None of them. If you remove any of those the game won't work.

It loads just fine with Swap Magic. If you're a cheapskate without any mod using TOC refresh, then use a bigger game like Devil May Cry.

Dat files can generally be anything. Without knowing for sure, you can't safely remove them.

Here's the PDF for the most recent version of Swap Magic. The TOC Refresh process may not be exactly the same as older versions, but it's similar.

If I'm not mistaken the TOC for your high TOC game has to be higher than Swap Magic, not the game your trying to boot. I'm not 100% on that. In that case, anything over 4.38GB's should suffice. DVD-9 games are ideal.

80. Q. Which games available for the PS2 are in DVD-9 format?
A. From Hursty: DVD9 Games list
1. 8.05GB USA Xenosaga
2. 8.02GB PAL Champions of Norrath
3. 7.94GB JAP GRAN TURISMO Concept(Traditional Chinese Version) SCPS55903
4. 7.94GB JAP Xenosaga
5. 7.93GB USA God of War
6. 7.74GB USA Champions of Norrath (SLUS: 20565)
7. 4.3GB NTSC DISC 1 champions of norath 8. 4.24GB DISC 2 champions of norath
9. 7.55GB USA The Guy Game (Mature Rating)
10. 7.20GB JAP Sakura Wars Atsuki Chishiyo Ni
11. 6.47GB USA Madden 2005 Collectors Edition
12. 6.13GB PAL Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance
13. 5.99GB USA MGS2: Substance
14. 4.95GB USA GT4 (5,314,478,080 bytes)
15. 5.95GB 50 Cent Bullet Proof
16. 8.00GB Wild Arms: Alter Code F

32. Q. I want to know if I need to rebuild game X to work with Swap Magic, how big is it?
