Playstation 2 games can't be copied straight from disc to disc for the same reason that Playstation 1 games couldn't be copied.

What "theories" are you talking about? There is one, and only ONE definitive reason as to why Playstation games of any kind (PS1, PS2, CD, DVD, DVD DL) can't be copied : Physically pressed onto the discs are bad sectors of data. These sectors cannot be read, or copied with conventional CD/DVD players.

This is the one and only propietary check developed by Sony that literally stops most people dead in their tracks from copying or playing copied games.

The other checks, such as calls to specific data, dummy files, or anything of the like are techniques done by the actual game developers.

And no, no one has proved or disproved that burning the game in PTP will work. But then again, even if it did, what's the big deal? Few people are willing to spend so much money on the media, and then go through all that trouble.

Also, there is already a supposed working method : Extract each layer, rebuild each layer to a disc (making sure the LBAs are the exact same as on the original disc) and then to burn each layer to a disc.

Then, using a direct boot method, swap the discs at pretty much every screen.

The drawbacks to this are that there's a ton of swapping involved, and that it's not possible for people using Swap Magic.

What we're waiting for is a ripkit for a DVD5 of the game, or a guide explaining how to convert it to DVD5.

This is truly what most people are waiting for. Seriously, how many people commenting here have tried anything more than burning the game to a Dual-layer disc using DVD Decrypter, Alcohol, or Nero?

When I say "rebuild" how many people are willing to take the time to LEARN how to do it?

It took me about an hour and a half to extract the layers, and rebuild the game to two discs. There was no coding involved. That's a step beyond me, that's for the people who are usually involved in making trainers and such.

All I did, was extract the layers to separate folders, use CD-DVD Generator to rebuild the ISO (using Apache as a reference for what the LBAs should be) and re-burned it with DVD Decrypter.

So many negative comments here, people who are impatient, but unwilling to do anything to further the cause.

If you want to buy, then go ahead. If you've already bought the game, then great. That really doesn't matter here. This thread is about backing up GT4, regardless of whether or not you own the game, plan to buy it, or are simply trying to make a backup of a copy that you don't own.

Anyways, rumor mill says that some people are hard at work on it. I wouldn't be surprised (but I'd be very delighted) if someone came out with a ripkit that did every single step for us. That's usually why these things take so long. Because someone out there probably has enough experience and knowledge to not only get the game to work, but to automate the process for the rest of us idiots.

I mean, other than that, this game is probably too much hassle for people who just want to pop a copy into their DVD drive, ISO it with DVD Decrypter and burn it.

 

Well it must be copy protected in both ways because I can't back up a copy and I also can't even play the original copy on my modded Playstation 2.

 

remy, you are right, nobody wants to take the time to try and do it,well the ones who are not capeable, like me, i tried everything i knew, like splitting it and then burning it to a rw, but it won't read a rw, and i tried several other things, nad after 10 frisbees i finnally gave up, but i am not computer literate, i work on cranes in the gulf of mexico, and they don't have any electronics on them, but i tried everything i know how and like you said until someone comes up with a way to two step it, i am waiting, but i tried, i wish i knew more and i would be more than happy to share my prognosis, so thanks everybody who knows and is working on it, because i don't know and ain't afraid to admit it, and look at it this way, the ones complaining prob. have 100 games already, that did work, so be greatful and patient,somebody will get it, and don't nock the more experienced for trying, because if i knew, i would still be trying, i first started the split theory, 800 threads ago, and i did accomplish it.but it won't read a rw. wish i had more knowledge, thanks everyone for all the positive input. dacaz

 

DVD Decrypter should take the full dual layer image and write it to a with the layer change at the exact same point.

In theory, if the copy is 1:1, minus the Libcrypt, it should work on consoles that can read 's, and mod chips that can boot DL backups.





1 more day...



and YES, I'm willing to spend $9.95 for an attempt to back up this game. If it doesn't work (which it probably won't) I'll leave the image on the HDD to be cracked at a later date.

 

Hi, Are you sure FreddyZ that the orignal game doesnt work on modded PS2. I am planing to buy the orignal tomorrow and but if the orignal doesn`t work, it looks like we cant play it either way.

 

it works on mine.... v7 + dms 4 lite, i dont have to turn the chip off or anything.

 

hi! im new to burning dual layers, so heres my question, has any 1 tried burning it to a dual layer disc with a dual layer recorder?

 

The ntsc game works in my V3 with a magic chip in it.

 

Whether your PS2 is modded or not, you can play it immediatly if you buy the Orignal Copy of the Game. But there are small percentage of people who can't play 'cause their PS2 has bad Lens. In this case, You have to replace it with new one.

 

thanks guys, i am so relieved.

 

@maixima88

Which Magic chip do you have? Is it the Magic 3.1? Did you have to disable it?

 

hi guys i have the original copy of the europe gran turismo 4 hown can i copy it ?i can not extract it to iso . is the disc protected ?

 

why do you read the other 37 pages of this thread and then form your question!!! ass!

 

LoL........my thinking exactally dbldown11.

 

So GT4 is still be worked on I guess.QQ

 

The only chance in playing the backup of this game is to burn it to a dvd-r DL (+R are not supported), but as far as I know there hard to come by
