There is a GT4 rip kit on www.ps2nfo.com that worked for me. You will have to register there before you can download the kit.

I have tried MANY different methods and have even followed Sonix guide Word For Word, with no luck.
Every disk i try loads up to the screen with the white writing, then goes black and nothing happens.
I think the game loads to a certain point b/c the red light on the controller does come on during the black screen, but nothing after.

Any ideas?

yea P4.
thats where i got Sonix link from and i also used the other method which removes some movies and that one didnt work either, seems like both hang @ the same point.

I am trying to do an NTSC , also with Swap Magic 3.6 and a slimline ps2
Would love to get a working copy of this game!

edit: in Sonix PAL version the final size of his DVD-ISO is around 4.3GB, the ISO i am left with is just under 4GB.

Is it true that GT4 has to read two parts of the disk at once. I have been told by Tokijin it is not but a 'game-o-tecnic' friend of mine says it does. if this is so, how do you eneble your burner to do this. I have a pioneer DVR-S606, and any help is appreciated :-)

@bigben197

I don't know what 'game-o-tecnic' means but the game has two layers and therefor is a dual layer disc (dvd9) so at the end of the first layer it must switch layers to continue it does not read both at the same time, and you need a dual layer burner to do a straight copy onto a DVD9...Then you need a mod chip for it to work.

@soundss

They must have different files or something, if i remember correctly Sonix was working on a NTSC version but that was a good bit back.

aye aye man

Thanks P4. 'game-o-tecnic' is a play on words, like pyrotecnic. it was a very lame joke though. thanks for that!

FINALLY!
so i finally realized what was my problom. In Sonix guide he is doing a PAL Backup and in CDVDGen he does not change his Liscense Area under the Disk Volume info. It was just a matter of changing that from Europe to America (something that was done in the other guide on page1 of Guide Thread)

wooohoooo 100% working backup!!

that would be wrong because correct me if im wrong but swap magic can play PAL discs under special boot.

You can switch the region on swap magic but a lot of people say that it cuts a bit of the screen off sometimes but if the TV supports PAL it would play fine.
