This game needs to be rebuilt to work.

try this program:-http://www.alucard.cc/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=2345

Here's how to use it.. it might not work for all games though.

Open the program.

1. Select the Shrinker_ps2_psp_CdDvd5_iso.epi on the plugins drop down list.
2. Select the iso you want to rebuild.
3. Click extract LBA.
4. Click extract file and wait for it to finish.
5. Click rebuild file and wait for it to finish.
6. Click rebuild LBA.
7. Burn the new iso with Nero or DVD Decrypter as usual.

good luck

Nope, there's no list... just use the search function and type in the name of the game you want to know if it needs a rebuild or not.. look through the threads that are displayed and maybe someone will have mentioned that it needs a rebuild.. if not then you can either do a 1:1 backup and hope it works, or rebuild it anyway just in case it needs it. I don't think it harms the game to be rebuilt if it doesn't need it.. just takes a little more time, but not too much time now with gnies rebuild tool.

good luck

Like I said before, if a game needs a rebuild then that tool and settings might be able to do it. I just tested it on an iso I had previously backed up 1:1 just to see if it made any difference and it didn't really.. the rebuilt iso came out only 20Kb less than the original. so with some iso files it won't make a difference.. only if they have dummy files bulking out the size of the iso.
So your best bet is to check and see if it needs a rebuild on the search function first, then if it needs a rebuild and/or dummy files removed use the gnie program.

glad it worked for ya :)
