Hey, sorry for asking how to burn it. I know it's allready been asked hundreads of times, but I saw a sticky on GT4 backup issues, If there is issues it must be burnable? So TOXIC have released there patch? Can someone please point me out to a tutorial on how i can backup GT4? Thanks,
you seen the sticky, so why didn't you read it? It can only be burnt to duel layer dvd, which also requires a modchip.
01) Using DVD Decrypter to "decrypt" iso file into HD ------------------------------------------------- A) put original game into dvd-rom drive B) put blank DVD-R/+R (use good media such as FUJI, MAXELL & VERBATIM) in dvd burner C) choose MODE, ISO, READ R (note: again, make sure to check your "settings" in DVD Decrypter) D) choose your "source" and "destination" <-- make a folder in C: drive or HD in prior to this: example (NEW GT4BACKUP) and browse to this folder. E) click on "Decrypt" on DVD Decrypter, now wait 20 - 25 minutes until it finished. F)Patch iso file by using Toxic Dual Layer Image Patcher v1.0 obtained from http://forums.psxforum.com/download.php?id=2518 02) Open up WinHex 12.25 or go here http://www.x-ways.net/winhex/index-m.html and down load it. ---------------------------------------------------------- A) click on FILE, OPEN and browse to the folder or "NEW GT4BACKUP" you created earlier with DVD Decrypter, then OPEN it. (NOTE: GT4BACKUP has 4.9GB) B) now WinHex will display tons of numbers & codes, but don't do anything and the name should say something like "GranTurismo4.ISO" C) click on "TOOLs" on WinHex, File Tools, then "Split" and browse to your NEW GT4BACKUP or folder you created, then hit SPLIT. D) make your split file equal 4.3GB when a small box appear and hit OK, then save it under a new name like "REBUILD GT4" so you won't get confuse with the previous one. E) click on "SAVE" and WinHex should automatically compress the original GT4.ISO 4.9GB to a new 4.3GB REBUILD GT4 (you created) <--- this takes about 8 - 9 minutes. F) when it gets to 90% or something it will ask you to save or name it again with a very samll file: just name it "small or junk" you won't need this anyway G) sit and wait until it gets to 100% and completed, EXIT out. H) now go to your newly 4.3 REBUILD GT4 file and rename it "REBUILD GT4.ISO" hit [ENTER] 3) Open up DVD Decrypter again, MODE, ISO, WRITE --------------------------------------------------------- A) choose your "source" <--- browse the your newly REBUILD GT4.ISO which you renamed it on step (H) B) choose your "destination" <--- your dvd burner (make sure you have a good blank media in drive) C) and now choose your burn speed at no higher than 4X, and just back it up or burn it.... sit and wait until its finished. Presto.... you're done. 4) Boot on PS2 ----------------------------------------------------------------- D) put Swap Magic DVD version into PS2, let it loads to Main Menu page E) use slide tool/open up Flip Top and take out Swap Magic DVD version F) put DVD5 backed up of 100% GT4 in, and close Flip Top G) hit [X] to boot.......and now it should load BEFORE YOU CAN PLAY USING A BACK-UP:Using the original game make a save at the garage and turn of the intro movie (option found in the settings) hope this helps for ppl like Techniks who don't wanna read a little ,some steps may not be required however I did this with my PAL(european) version of GT4 and burned it to a cheap 4.7GB DVD-R and it works perfectly(without arcade mode!!!!) THAT is how you burn the game to a DVD5,it will be missing Arcade mode and this guide was written by ALKOHOL and other members, I just stole it and tweaked it a bit,this method is the BEST for burning to a DVD-R,there is an easier method to burn to a DVD+R but alot of PS2s won't play DVD+Rs
This is my 5th coaster of Gran Turismo 4 Thanks a lot ... but i'm through with this game i don't even wanna play it anymore i followed all the instructions here and again it freezes at the loading screen right after the intro movie ...
Ah man they aint coasters!!! If your original still works you need to make a save file at the garage and turn off the intro movie in the settings using the original game!!!!!
