Hidden files on ps2 disc

basically you have a computer or drive problem.there are suppose to be more files in those games.it could be a problem displaying those files and if you just go ahead and copy the iso you made from decrypter(you said it was the size of the original) and see if they work.as far as putting star ocean on one disc you are gonna have to wait until you figure out your computer problem.cant extract files you cant see.

I got one of my games that I loaned out back tonight (sonic mega collection plus) and opened it in ISOBuster and this is what I saw.



which more closely matches what everyone else is posting so it does not appear to be the burner or windows it just seems some games hide files while others don't.

something else I just noticed is that when I view some games in ISOBuster the name of the game is shown in the window on the left and on other games it's not. Check out theses pics.

What makes this interesting is that the games that do NOT show their name in the left window seem to show all the files in the right window but the opposite seems to be true for games that DO show their names in the left window.

This is starting to make me think that the games that do not show all their files might be dual layer games and so you cannot see the 2nd layer of the game in ISOBuster but from what I have seen there are only a few dual layer games out there at the moment and surely ratchet & clank is not one of them.

Again I would like to see if anyone can confirm or deny this using the games list I have above thx.

 

i see what you mean,i just checked kingdom hearts and it did the same thing(displayed about 4mb of data.but i copied the game and it runs fine.i didnt use iso buster for it.i mean it was like 2.8gb and didnt need to be made smaller.i dont know why it doesnt display all the files.but you can use dercrypter and make an iso and copy that iso and the games will run fine unless they are over 4.3gb and you are using swap magic then you would be in some trouble.but other than star ocean being put on one disc you shouldnt have any problems.just copy both disc on seperate discs,you should be able to play the whole game.

Thanks for info now I can finally put it to rest that it's not my system or my burner thats messed up so good thing there. I will just use dvd decrypter to read and write my disc and I am getting a matrix infinty chip with all the fixes put on my system so no problem with the oversized TOC stuff.

Thx again for your replies and your help.
