Well I found everything needed to finish the tutorial, but when I click on the Rec button in CDVDGen, i get an errors that say, ASPI Manager Initialization failed and Initialization failed. I get the ASPI error twice and the other one once. I click OK for all three and then when the cdvd-rom recording unit controller window comes up, nothing else happens. Now my dvd burner is a USB external model. Does that cause the problem? If not, i've followed everything to a T and don't know why i'd see this error.
Hope to hear from someone.
Cheers

Hey,
Not sure if these questions has been answered before.
I made a god of war copy from an iso i downloaded of the internet (torrentspy.com). Made into a dvd using decrypter.
1. While I am playing sometimes my PS2 will make noises (laser?) Why is that so? What do I need to do to correct this?
2. The game does not run smoothly all the time. In the video clips it will sometimes move in slow motion. How come?
3. While I was playing I reached Pandoras Temple and the game started to Load and it just got stuck there.
Is it the copy? is it the iso I downloaded? Do I need to use this Sonix tool to fix it?
How can I make a good burn from the ISO I downloaded.
Can someone please help or point me to the page with the answer?
Thnx

I was able to get through all the steps, but when I tried to start it using the disk swap method, it came up to the first Sony Entertainment screen, and froze. I followed every step and made sure to check them twice. It all went smoothly, but then nothing. Any help would be nice.
Cheers

OK guys i have tried this three times, (2 coasters!) and many 2am and 3am nights to get this GOW rip done but finally got it to work all the way thru and no freezing, this may help.
Programs needed
DVD decrypter
Sonix gow fix
Apache 2.0
sony cd/dvd generator 1.5
using windows xp pro
make iso of gow DVD9 using DVD Decrypter (ISO read setting)
this will make 3 files an MDS and two ISO
Open appache 2.0
Click file -> open iso
Then browse for the iso of the DVD9 of gow (file 000)open it
High light all the files in the right window, right click and extract all to a folder (ill use c:\gowfix)
Then after layer 0 is done extracting right click the root file (little god of war disc in the left window) and switch layers.
highlight the pac 2 file, right click and extract it to the same folder.
Once the extraction is done download the sonix GOW tool and extract it to the same folder.
Run the tool
In the open file part browse for the C:\gow fix\GODOFWAR.TOC
Then click extract
The program will extract the files you need into a extract folder (C:\gow fix\extract)
right click on the extract folder and search for *.psw files, delete them all
right click on the extract folder and search for bonus files, delete them all (they will all be PSS files)
Now we need to rebuild the toc file
Open the sonix gow tool and open file the GODOFWAR.TOC file again,
Now click rebuild
?After a while the relink screen will popup.
first, click the 'Auto-Relink Dupes' button and that will take care of most of the relinking.
the rest of relinking needs to be done manually.
Relink all the *.PSW files to their *.PSS counterparts, e.g.
relink left window A01P01.PSW to A01P01.PSS in the right window
after you have relinked all those you will be left with bonus pss files in the left window. Relink all the missing BONUS*.PSS files to any available PSS file in the right window.
Once all files are relinked you will get a "relink and rebuild complete" window.
you can close the tool.
You will now have 2 new files in the game folder:
GODOFWAR.TOC_NEW
PART1.PAK_NEW
Delete the original PART1.PAK, PART2.PAK and GODOFWAR.TOC files and rename the new files to remove the _NEW from their names. Delete the 'Extracted' folder.
Open Sony CD GEN
click new project
then
DVDROM Master Disc.
Under the VOLUME tab for Disc Name use SCUS 97399 or whatever file you have. NTSC disc & PAL discs will have a different file order and volume name such as scse / SCUS etc. check your files for the correct volume name for these files.
VOLUME TAB YOUR BOXES SHOULD BE LIKE THIS...
disk name: SLES(or whatever you have) 45677(or whatever you have)
do not put in the full stop for the number IE
45677 not 45.677
ON THE RIGHT IT SAYS PRODUCER NAME. HERE WRITE PLAYSTATION THEN SELECT YOUR LICENSE AREA, MINE IS EUROPE (PAL). IF YOUR GAME IS NTSC PUT AMERICA... LEAVE ALL THE OTHER BOXES BLANK.
then under Directory tab put these files in this order
Important!!!!! open original game disc iso disc image to work out the order to put files in DVDgen
The below is correct for an NTSC disc but not a PAL disc
ISO rebuild order
System.cnf
Scus_973.99
Ioprp300.img
Sio2man.irx
Dbcman.irx
Sio2d.irx
Mc2_s1.irx
Ds10.irx
Mc2_d.irx
Ds2u_d.irx
Libsd.irx
989nomid.irx
Smpd_iop.irx
Godofwar.toc
Part1.pak
CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!
THE FILES MUST BE IN THE SAME ORDER THEY WERE IN in the original ISO (open in it in APACHE to check). not putting the files in order is how I got my coasters!!!
Drag the files from your folder into the directory
E.G IF "SYSTEM" IS AT THE TOP DRAG IT IN FIRST ETC.
AGAIN if your not sure open your original ISO in apache and check the file order then double check it!!!!
then once all that is done, click rec... and it will give u 2 errors, (my machine gave three errors but CDDVD GEN still worked oK) just click ok and then a new window will pop up (recording unit controller) click file, then export image, choose the name of the file (GODOFWARFINAL) and place to save then click ok. it will start "image creating"
after this is done, you will have four files GODOFWARFINAL 0 /1 / 2 3 we have to merge the files together into one iso file.
OPEN APACHE 2 AND CLICK FILE, IMPORT IML. FIND YOUR GODOFWARFINAL IML AND CLICK OK. A LIST OF YOUR FILES WILL COME UP. AGAIN CLICK FILE, THEN BUILD ISO. THIS WILL BUILD YOUR FINAL ISO.
if apache 2 wont work your files are probably corrupt or try to DOWNLOAD APACHE 3 PREVIEW |(INCLUDED IN THE GRAN TURISMO 4 RIPKIT) FROM BACKUPTOOLS.CO.UK this may work better with some machines,(I had no problems with apache 2 it worked fine for me)
THE FINISH LINE
ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR FINISHED ISO, OPEN UP DVD Decrypter AND CLICK MODE ISO WRITE. SELECT THE FILE YOU MADE AND BURN AT THE LOWEST SPEED FOR BEST PERFORMANCE. INSERT YOU BLANC DVD-R. DVD-R IS THE ONLY TYPE OF MEDIA THAT WILL WORK*. THEN CLICK THE ICON.
PLEASE NOTE I used Nero TO BURN with TDK DVD+R 8X burned at 4X speed WORKS FINE!!!! but always burn at the slowest speed possible.
check the "official God of war" thread and the "how to copy and burn a ps2 game" thread for more info if the above doesnt make sense. but it worked for me and the game doesnt freeze
Please note if you stuff up a step in this (like clicking rebuild instead of extract on the GOW tool) START FROM THE BEGINNING as you will just end up with coasters.
Signing off at 4.30 am with a working GOW copy... stoked!!!

I need help.......I'm trying to downsample the movies. I'm at the part on sonix tutorial where it asks you to place the SPLIT.BAT file,PSS_Plex.dll and PSS_Plex.exe in the EXTRACTED folder and run it. I did that but theres no files in the SPLIT folder that you get. Can anybody shed any light on this. Thanx

Hey Everyone
I just recently made a straight copy of God Of War on a dual layer disc with a dual layer burner, the game loads up and plays fine up until a section in the desert where you go to cross this big bridge then it just stops and says loading and goes no further (I know this becuase I went away for an hour and it was still there "loading")
Im thinking that this is about half way through the game so therefore the first layer. My theory is that a ps2 doesnt know how to switch to the second layer so it just stops there says "loading" and goes no further
Has anyone else had this type of trouble and been able to fix it and is my theory possible,any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the feedback, I should have posted that I figured it out using cddvd whatever. Works great. This has to be one of the best games on ps2, and one of the best games I have ever played. Awesome music to boot!

HI
I have been trying to copy and make GOD of war for at least a week now.
First I downloaded 3.6 GBiso from the internet. It worked fine untill it reached pandoras temple where it froze. People were telling me is because I didnt manage to burn the whole game on the dvd, and I need to do it from a DVD9.
Anyways I found DVD9.rar (6.3GB)on the internet, downloaded it unzipped it (7.4GB).
It gave me 5 files
wrx-godow.gi 2KB
wrx-godow(11).gi 2,097,120KB
wrx-godow(12).gi 2,097,120KB
wrx-godow(13).gi 2,097,120KB
wrx-godow(14).gi 1,539,328KB
I use Isobuster and open the first file making an image file with the following:
SYSTEM.CNF
IOPRP300.IMG
SIO2MAN.IRX
DBCMAN.IRX
SIO2D.IRX
MC2_S1.IRX
DS10_S1.IRX
MC2_D.IRX
DS2U_D.IRX
LIBSD.IRX
989NOMID.IRX
SMPD_IOP.IRX
GODOFWAR.TOC
PART1.PAK
SCES_531.33
This wrx-godow(11).gi showed the same files with iso buster.
The wrx-godow(12).gi 13 and 14 just show a CD named Track.1
oK NOW WHAT do I do now? Please I need help. I am fed up. What Do i do from now on? Shouldnt there be a PART2.PAK?????
Please don't tell me to burn it in such a way that it freezes again at Pandoras temple.
Please someone who has managed to burn it and play it fluidly help me.
Please please please.

I cant get my backup to work either. I did everything that the sonix walkthrough told me to do, but when I put the disc in the ps2, it looks like its going to load, but then goes to the browser screen. It recognizes the disc as ps2 disc, but it will not load up. Any ideas?
