God Of War Confusion

Mine is freezing at the same spot also (after getting the necklace). I did wait a while but nothing happened. Any other suggestions?

 

Talking bout gt4, at torrentspy, u can find a patch to make it work 100% on hdl...

 

I have a version of GOW what freeze after getting the necklace, but there is a trick to unlock it. Just after you cross a kind of rotational bridge you must access the option menu (press select) and torn on de wide screen and torn off the soften option. Them after you cross the point that was freezing, you can set these options back to normal.
It’s work fine to me.

 

if the game doesnt load its probbly because u made an mds file and burned it.... lol that happend to me and umm its gay... but just burn the confusion torrent as an iso after the repack and it shud work fine it freezes abit but works after restart the widescreen thing worked too thx for the help

 

I have the Confusion ISO torrent (God_of_War_USA_PS2DVD5_PROPER-ConFuSiON) that I have burnt to a DVD. I am using version 2.0 Swap Disk and it freezes at the intro screen.

Do I need to apply a fix/patch before burning?

 

Its OK, I sorted it now. GOW is the first game that I have had to use the DVDLoader disk on. Works fine now.

Thanks to you all in the forum for ideas!!!

 

I also have God_of_War_USA_PS2DVD5_PROPER-ConFuSiON but everytime I get to Pandoras Temple (level 9 I think) and I cross the ropebridge the game just keeps loading forever. If I try to save right before the bridge it also keeps loading the save screen forever.

Stupidget, or someone, how did u get it to work?

When I burned the DVD i used DVDecrypter, should I have used some other program?

Please help me.

 

I also have the "God_of_War_USA_PS2DVD5_PROPER-ConFuSiON" and I burned it using DVD Decrypter and I have Swap Magic 3.3. I burned it and when I loaded it the screen scrolls down very fast and takes FOREVER to load but I was only able to load it one time does anybody know how I can do this cause i really dont want to use up all my DVD blanks

 

I also have God_of_War_USA_PS2DVD5_PROPER-ConFuSiON and I was just wondering what is a step by step guide to burning this properly and getting through the game with no freezes.

 

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. If i try and save it before it freezes! Help me!

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

 

OK guys i have tried this three times, (2 coasters!) and many 2 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

[bold]Important!!!!! open original game disc iso disc image to work out the order to put files in DVDgen[/bold]

The below is correct for an NTSC disc but not a PAL disc


ISO rebuild order

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!!!

 

PS always retain your original ISO on your hard drive so you can start again if you fail

 

Thanks for your reply.
I appreciate your help.

Do i need to go over All the steps you said? Or is it after on the rebuild?
Also what do you mean by croaters?
Thnx again

 

Coasters = DVD Rs that dont work once you have burnt them. the only thing they are good for is putting your drinks on (yep those things that you put your drinks on are called coasters. ANYHOO
tried twice to backup GOW and got two coasters before succeding on my third try.
first time i put the files in the order that Sonix and Jizmaks guide advised. the game froze at pandoras temple. second time i clicked extract instead of rebuild on the sonix GOW tool, even though I cancelled and clicked the right button after about 3 seconds, the game didnt work at all.
best thing to do is when you open your original DVD decrypter game ISO with apache, write down the order of the files. make sure you get them in the right order when opening DVD gen and loading the files in the directory. ALSO if you stuff up a step START AGAIN, its better than going thru the whole 4 - 5 hour process and ending up with more placesto put those beer glasses.

 

I didnt download the game i backed up an original copy, (the download may be corrupt!) in reality i did get one other coaster, a direct copy on a DL DVD +R. apparently even chipped playstations cant read DL DVDR.

Usually works ok to backup single layer and CD based PS2 games by simple copy disc method on nero.
on my GOW backup the files are in this order

like I say check your original ISO game file order.

 

oh and it looks like you already have a ripped copy there as its only got a pak 1 file. so if it dont work once you have burnt it with DVD decrpter or nero its stuffed!
sorry!

 

I beat the Confusion version of God of War. There was part were it took 5 minutes to load but it did load eventually. There were a couple of other 2 minute plus load times.

 

and PPS the game will freeze at pandoras temple if the original rip didnt have the pak 1 AND pak 2 file in it, half the game is missing.
once all the bonus files are deleted and the pss files relinked you have to rebuild the table of contents (TOC) with sonix gow tool which reduces it all to a smaller pak 1 file. looks like your download was ripped without the pak 2 file.

 

Hey Everyone

I just recently made a straight 1 to 1 copy of God Of War from the original, on a dual layer DVD+R 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 rope 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 (Does any1 know of a way to trick the ps2 into loading the second layer)

Has anyone else had this type of trouble ( I know others have had trouble with their game freezing at this point but wasnt that with a single layer DVD and not just copied 1 to 1 from the original game??) If any1 knows how to fix this and if my theory is possible ,any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheerz Guyz

 

sorry cant help my GOW burner on a DL disc wouldnt even load. and i have a dual layer enabled mod chip
