Do you really think that works? I want to be sure before I try. Already used up 2 DVD+R DL's :/
That will only work for MODCHIP, not Swap Magic users. According to my experiences, Swap Magic hasn't supported DVD+R DL backups at this very moment.

Its not about the dual layer disc itself. I have a Matrix chip that can load dl's. Its more that I still have problems in making a DVD that actually works in the right way. Up till now both DVD's I've burned doesnt content the second layer.
The Size of the DVD was always only 3,14GB, but it should be over 6GB.
Toxic dual layer patch wont help either ... aww isnt there anyone that can make this stupid game work? :/
It did work. Actually the size that windows shows is always wrong. The toxic dual layer patch is the key. ^^

Some guy from alucard said the DATA2 can be dummied, saying it held music files. Problem is, WHERE THE HELL IS THAT FILE?? I only see
DATA0_0
DATA0_1
DATA1_0
DATA1_1
I think he meant DATA1_0 or 1_1....might be wrong but think he meant the .dat's from the second layer held those music files.
@xhardcore
Yeah it wast the Start 2 release, the one booboo posted screencaps of.

svtstang: SURE YOU CAN!! it's super-easy to edit a .dat file!!
here you go:
1. open up "my computer"
2. tools->folder options
3. view tab
4. un-check "Hide file extensions for known file types"
(in the future, if you rename a file, don't forget to type the .extionsion!)
5. apply
6. ok
A. copy the original .dat file to a safe place, maybe a folder called
"original" or something.
B. example: x.dat is the file you want to edit. rename it x.txt
C. open it.
D. edit it to your heart's content
E. save it
F. close it
G. rename it from x.txt to be x.dat
YOU ARE DONE IT'S SUPER-EASY, I PROMISE. i just wish you could do that with ANY extension. but you can't. .dat files are the easiest, i think.

thanks much :) appreciate it!
Ok someone, im about to make another copy...just need some help
layer0 looks like this
DATA0_0.dat
DATA0_1.dat
DATA0_0.HD6
DATA0_1.HD6
layer1 looks like this
DATA1_0.dat
DATA1_1.dat
DATA1_0.HD6
DATA1_1.HD6
so, if in cd dvd gen, how would it look for a single layer, to keep file integrity?
DATA0_0.dat
DATA0_1.dat
DATA0_0.HD6
DATA0_1.HD6
DATA1_0.dat
DATA1_1.dat
DATA1_0.HD6
DATA1_1.HD6
or
DATA0_0.dat
DATA0_1.dat
DATA1_0.dat
DATA1_1.dat
DATA0_0.HD6
DATA0_1.HD6
DATA1_0.HD6
DATA1_1.HD6
Please only respond if you know, i am running out of Taiyo's!
btw i am dummying DATA1_0 and DATA1_1, /me thinks are audie files...this will fit on a DVD5.
Ok, it actually loaded the part that froze from the nuked DVD5....but since i dummied those 2 dats im not sure if it will freeze at some other point.

lol that's why it would work for you...if your not a member you cant see anything!
I just went to the point where it froze, and it loaded. I have no idea what is in the .dat's i dummied, so I am not saying i found a fix by any means....for all i know it will freeze at the beginning of the next chapter. If it does in fact work, ill see what i can do. Try it for yourself.
1.Use apache 3 to extract both layers.
2.Dummy DATA1_0 and DATA1_1
3.Use cd dvdgen to make a new iml file
4.Use iml2iso to create a new iso, mine came out to 3.91 gigs. I wouldnt bank on what I did, all i know is the game booted(woohoo) and that my save loaded (woohoo!!). I would much prefer someone like Hursty or alkohol take a look at the file structure..but later tonight ill try to get some play time in and see if it works. If someone with programming knowledge has a chance, please take a look at DATA1_0 and DATA1_1 to see what exactly i dummied....cause I have no clue in hell!
Here is my file structure

just to let anyone know i have a swapmagic v3.6 & no modchip. Been able to play all the games & backup using GENIE's tool & the alucard.cc ripkit. Every DVD9 game i know of (in the u.s.) has been ripped. Don't give up because of this game. Just wait for someone to figure out how to remove the files to get it to 4.6GB as an overburn.
The same methods that worked on 50cent bulletproof & GT4 will work here. But Xenosaga Episode I took some doing. I hope it's not like that again :(

what i said ^^above wasn't aimed at anyone. It was just to get someone to try things a different way because u never know, this could be another (insert whatever sports game they said was unh*ckable but i forgot the damn name 3-4 mos back). and unless i'm wrong there are several ways to patch a game, GENIEs tool being one, the alucard.cc ripkit being another, and another one *forget name* which involves hex editing where the layer break starts & modifying the code so it looks on the same layer. One of these, ZOE2 was def worth it :)

Here is my file structure
Ok so does this mean the sound after chapter 7 is ripped out?, or was the audio Data1_0 And 1_1 Just dummy's of the same audio files on Layer 1?.
And great work m8, hope the rip works right till the end.

*i just need to post something so i can re register to thei thread again cause i accidently unregistred form the forum.*
also arent the audio files ripped from the first layer jsut the audioo files form the cutscenes cause you dont need them anymore. unlesss you play the game again that is if you have a save after chapter 7 if you dont than......its no good.
