Mercenaries

Patch worked for me! You need follow the instruction in order to make this to work for you, make sure to rename the original iso file to (ptc-merc). Then run the patch and wait for about 30 to 45 min. Burn the new ISO file and you should be able to play within 30 from there! Good Luck.

 

I got dvdgen and the tutorial, iso buster.How can I drag the files for iso buster to cd/dvd-rom gen

 

just drag the files from an open folder.

[bold]I ask again; anyone gettin a controller error?![/bold]

 

no controller error here

 

Are you getting controller error in cdvdgen? If so remove and reinstall it. I had same prob where would save ifl file and not goto the record screen. You should get 2 errors , SCSI controller error and initialization error, just click ok till record screen comes up and then export image as (name)to a folder. It should save files as (name)001, (name)002 etc. Then import these files into DVDBuilder to make a working ISO. Then burn ISO with Nero or DVDDecrypterand there ya go. The patch is alot ezier if you want a fast track, just burn a iso from original with DVDDecrypter and save it as ptc-merc.iso. Then run Rickspatch in same folder as ISO you just made. It should make one new ISO for you, takes about 20-30mins to patch. Then burn the new ISO with DVDDecrypter.

 

Nononno. As I said earlier, I get "reconnect controller blablabla" error when I've started the game and got thru the loadingscreens...

 

i burnt this game with the patch and boot is up with SW 2.0 it work fine for like 10 min then it slowy cuts out the music and doesn't show wheels on the vehicles.
Is this a problem with the burn or with my laser??;!
i read with dvd decryptor and burnt with the same program at 1x.

 

what media, ps2 version etc.... i would also try getting smd ver 3.3

 

umm philps+r media and new 'pstwo'

 

first change over to swapmagic 3.3, because ver 2.0 doesn't work with the new pstwo. second use tdk dvd+r 8x. thats what i use and all my games come out perfect... nfl street 2, mercenaries, gta san andreas, mgs3, etc....

 

I'm having the same problem as 1250night I ran the patch fine and got the new iso file, I burned using dvd decryptor at 1X speed, but when I try to play the game it freezes on the lucasarts screen, after about ten minutes it goes to another loading screen and then the screen goes black but the music keeps going. I was thinking it may be the way I burned the iso file. Usually when it asks what image file to burn with I click on the mds file but there is no mds file for the new iso file so I just click on the new iso image and burn it, is there some way that it may still be burning the old iso instead of the new one. Other than that I have no ideas on how to fix this any help would be greatly appreciated. I have read through this entire forum two or three times and apologize if I missed something that would fix my problem. I am trying the other method of using cdvdgen to make a new iso but I keep getting an error message. I know it says I am supposed to get two error messages but I just get one. ASPI manager loading failed, I click ok and it takes me back to the volume screen of cdvdgen. Where do I need to put that IML file? I have tried putting it in a file of its own and the file everything is located after isobuster. I am lost please help. Sorry if Im pissing people off.

Okay i have read this entire thread and nothing about this yet. I am getting an error message while running the Ricksdvd patch. It goes through it like normal, 3 files being extracted:
DRK-FLE.001
DRK-FLE.002
DRK-FLE.003
And then it says "Insufficient disk space
0 file(s) copied
ApplyPPF v3.0 by =Icarus/Paradox= Nov 26 2001
Error: cannot open file 'DRK-MRC.ISO': No such file or directory."

Does anyone know anything about this?

Also, one other thing, when i first copy the image from the original copy to my hard drive using DVD Decrypter, i get 3 files:
ptc-merc.I00
ptc-merc.I01
ptc-merc.MDS

I am not getting just the [bold]ptc-merc.ISO[/bold] file like i believe I should be getting. are the two I00 and I01 files the ISO seperated or what? I've been struggling with this problem for some time. The steps I'm taking are as follows:
1) Copy image from original to HD using DVD Decrypter
2) Installing Ricks Patch into the same folder as image(s).
3) Apply the Patch.
4) Patch runs, then gives me the error message as described earlier.

If anyone can help me out that would be greatly appreciated.

 

Everytime I hit Apply on the patch it comes up with the error message: The Operating System Denied Access To The Specified File. C:\Docume~1\User\Locals~1\Temp\DRK-MRC.COM. Is there anything I can really do to fix this?
