Quick question my God of War ISO is 7.93 GB not 7.97. Will this cause a problem?

Also, I am only able to extract one layer not two using Apache...

Both layers MUST be extracted,
Quote:
that there sould be 16 files and that the iso should be 7.97 gigs
First you make the .iso with DVD Decrypter 7.93gb.
make new folder gowbuild
run apache 2
extra layer 0 to gowbuild
extra layer 1 to gowbuild.
The gowbuild should contain the 16 files 7.97gb
(the files will have been extracted NOT IN .ISO form

I'm almost done. I'm at the part where I'm supposed to use CD DVD Gen! But Sonix's website doesn't have it. Where can I get CD DVD Gen 2.0 please?

It won't let me install it. I keep getting this error "The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications."

Thanks anyway.

I Agree sonix tutiorial is better,But when I originally posted this,
His tutorial didnt exist yet, I did this for everyone on afterdawn,
And this was the only GOW dvd5 tutorial when i started the post on
27. March 2005 @ 23:40.
I gave all the credit to Sonix,
Then and now, If you cant understand my tutorial then use his.

As DDP would say. "teach and learn".
Thats what its about for me :)

I was not refering to 'you' ugodzero.

I was speaking 'in general'.

I had a friend that had the some problem with version 2.0
He installed the 1.5 version and it worked for him.

I never had any problems using either version.
Sorry I cant be of more help.

No problem. I found the prob. I kept getting that error because AUTOEXEC.nt was missing from System32. The file was in a repair folder the entire time. So what I did was copy and paste it into System32 and now it works.

Sonix's guide stated that I should have four files: gow.000 - gow.003.
Oddly enough I've only got the first two files gow.000 and gow.001...

I hope it works...

Hey guys, I no longer have the original GOW disk and was wondering if anyone has seen it on the net to download. I watched the beggining for like 5 minutes that was it :/



^^ ooops misstell. I was actually referring to the bonus videos not the whole iso. I really wanted to watch the game developing part.

hi...alright right before you click on apache2 to build your iso...you need to go to folder that you have the iso of gow in...right click on the folder and rename...it doesn't really matter what you rename it...after you have renamed it...go to apache2 and click on "build iso"...after you have built the iso...go to DVD Decrypter and burn it(remember to burn at 1x or the slowest your burner will allow...good luck

Hello all,

I know this has been posted before but so far I've found no explanation on why it's still happening when I extract this game.

Fully extracted, layers 0 and 1, I am STILL only getting 7.93 gb and that's with 16 files. I extract layer 0 and get 3.96 gb then extract layer 1 with part2.pak and put it in the same folder as the one I extracted the other 15 files and after 7 tries, checking several settings, nothing changes. It's ALWAYS 7.93 gb fully extracted. Every extraction has been with DVD Decrypter and the ISO is as stated in previous posts at 7.93 gb.

Unless I'm missing something so obvious I'd surely shoot myself in the head for, is there ANYONE who's encountered this and conquered it???

Jizmak: great job on the tutorial. Just wish my numbers would match up to yours. lol

Feel free to PM me if necessary. I'm always here till late.

PS: I burned a copy of what I had when all was said and done but the game crashes on the cinema after the one saving the oracle. NTSC version. Thanx.

You should be fine with 7.93gb,
Asd long as you have done ALL these steps.

First you make the .iso with DVD Decrypter 7.93gb.
make new folder gowbuild
run apache 2
extra layer 0 to gowbuild
extra layer 1 to gowbuild.
The gowbuild should contain the 16 files 7.97gb
(the files will have been extracted NOT IN .ISO form)

I didnt see you mention apache2,
if you did all the steps above everythinh should be fine,
The 4 meg difference most likely is a folder difference.

Thanx Jizmak for replying. The files were ripped with Apache 2. I was just having difficulty dealing with the 4 gig difference in file sizes when you were adamant about it being 7.97. Couldn't for the life of me figure out why there was a difference. Even crunched the numbers of the file sizes to be sure there wasn't a miscalculation somewhere. lol

Anyway, I'll have another go of it and see if the next backup does the same thing in the same place or not. Will let you know.

Thanx again for the help.

thanks evenflow

anyways i had to go back to this tutorial and use cdvdgen to create that folder with the files gow00 gow01...etc

and then using apache the ISO was built correctly and I burned it and it worked


ofcours I went through a lot to do this because most of the software needed extra files to the system folder

since I'm a begginer too it was very difficult but luckily I was persistent enough

thank you SONIX and the rest of you guys who helped others

The 16 files I had totaled 7.93 GB too.

I followed every step in Sonix's tutorial and got the game working. But the game keeps freezing up at a certain point where you're supposed to turn this huge lever.

This is after you get past the swimming part where you have to keep dodging moving walls underwater or else it will drive you straight into an underwater fence.

All that work for nothing.

Ok, so far so good. I'm in Hades.....er, well I bet that's the first time that's ever been said. lol

Anyway, I did get the long load time at the 1 necklas coming out of the tunnel right before putting it on the device where it goes. Other than that, the only other probs are with the music. Keeps stuttering and restarting the tracks. No worries though, I don't pay attention to the music unless it's like the music played in POP2 or DMC3.

Although, on this burn I did notice somehow the final ISO was larger than the previous attempt. Not sure what happened there but I'm not complaining.

**@ ugodzero: I burned the image with the same file size; 7.93 gig. I have a PS2 slim using Swap Magic 3.3 FYI. Don't know what you're using but maybe that info will help.

Thanx again Jizmak. 8-D
