i took this from someone on this thread... so thanx but i dont remember who yea, try this method THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR COPYING STAR WARS BATTLEFRONT AND ARE BASED UPON THE PROCEDURE SUPPLIED BY ANDREW EARLIER IN THIS THREAD. YOU MUST HAVE DVD Decrypter, CDVDGEN, AND ISOBUSTER INSTALLED ON YOUR COMPUTER. 1) COPY THE PS2 GAME DVD TO YOUR HARD DRIVE AS AN ISO IMAGE. a)OPEN DVD Decrypter. b)IN THE DESTINATION AREA, CLICK ON THE FOLDER ICON TO CHOOSE BOTH A NAME AND A STORAGE LOCATION FOR THE ISO IMAGE. c)CLICK ON MODE > ISO > READ. d)CLICK ON THE DVD ICON TO START THE PROCESS. e)WAIT UNTIL THE PROCESS IS FINISHED THEN CLOSE DECRYPTER AND GO TO STEP 2. 2) EXTRACT THE FILES FROM THE ISO IMAGE. a) CREATE A NEW FOLDER ON YOUR HARD DRIVE TO STORE THE EXTRACTED FILES. b) OPEN ISO BUSTER AND CLICK ON FILE > OPEN IMAGE FILE. c) NAVIGATE TO THE ISO FILE CREATED IN STEP 1 AND CLICK ON “OPEN”. d) HOLD THE CONTROL KEY ON YOUR KEYBOARD AND LEFT CLICK EVERY FILE AND FOLDER IN THE LIST. e) ONCE ALL THE FILES ARE HIGHLIGHTED, RIGHT CLICK ON ONE OF THEM AND CLICK ON “EXTRACT OBJECTS”. f) NAVIGATE TO THE NEW FOLDER THAT YOU CREATED ON YOUR HARD DRIVE AND CLICK “OK”. g) WAIT FOR THE PROCESS TO FINISH THEN CLOSE ISOBUSTER. 3) CONVERT THE EXTRACTED FILES INTO 2 BIN FILES. a) OPEN CDVDGEN. b) SELECT “CREATE NEW PROJECT” AND THEN SELECT “DVD-ROM MASTER DISC”. DRAG CDVDGEN TO THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN. c) NAVIGATE TO THE FOLDER THAT YOU CREATED ON YOUR HARD DRIVE BACK IN STEP 2 AND OPEN IT ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN. d) SET THE WIDTH OF THAT WINDOW SO THAT IT IS ONLY 1 FILE WIDE. THIS WILL PLACE THE FILES INTO THE SAME ORDER AS THEY WERE ON THE GAME DISK BUT YOU SHOULD CHECK THEM FOR CORRECT ORDER JUST IN CASE. e) CLICK ON EDIT > SELECT ALL. f) DRAG ALL THE FILES INTO THE RIGHT SIDE OF CDVDGEN. g) LOOK FOR A SLUS OR SLES FILE AND WRITE DOWN THE FULL NAME AND THEN CLICK ON THE “VOLUME” TAB IN CDVDGEN. h)TYPE SLUS OR SLES (WHICHEVER YOUR FILE NAME IS) INTO THE 1ST BOX NEAR "DISC NAME" i) TYPE ALL OF THE NUMBERS FROM YOUR FILE NAME, WITHOUT THE PERIOD, INTO THE 2ND BOX. j) TYPE PLAYSTATION FOR THE PRODUCER NAME AND SELECT THE APPROPRIATE LICENSE AREA. k)CLICK ON "REC...". l)SELECT YOUR DESIRED STORAGE LOCATION AND NAME THE FILE STAR.IML m)YOU WILL GET 2 ERRORS, JUST CLICK OK FOR BOTH. n)THE RECORDING SCREEN WILL POP UP, CLICK ON FILE > EXPORT IMAGE AND SAVE IT ON ONE OF YOUR HARD DRIVES (NOT IN A FOLDER) NAME IT STAR.LST o) WHEN IT'S FINISHED, YOU WILL HAVE 2 FILES NAMED STAR.000 AND STAR.001 p)CLOSE CDVDGEN AND GO TO STEP 4. 4) MERGE THE .000 AND .001 FILES INTO A SINGLE ISO IMAGE. THE EASIEST WAY TO MERGE THE FILES IS FROM A COMMAND SCREEN. YOU WON'T HAVE TO INSTALL AN EXTRA PROGRAM THAT MAY NEED EXTRA FILES TO WORK AND COME ON, ADMIT IT, DOS IS SO MUCH FUN!! a)CLICK THE WINDOWS START BUTTON AND CLICK ON RUN. b)TYPE CMD IN THE BOX AND HIT ENTER. c)CHANGE THE DIRECTORY TO MATCH WHERE YOUR STAR.000 AND STAR.001 FILES ARE STORED. EXAMPLE- IF THEY ARE ON THE C DRIVE, TYPE CD C:\ AND HIT ENTER. IF THEY ARE ON ANOTHER DRIVE, TYPE THE DRIVE LETTER WITH A COLON AND HIT ENTER. d)ONCE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT DIRECTORY- TYPE COPY/B STAR.000 + STAR.001 STAR.ISO AND THEN HIT ENTER. e)WHEN IT'S FINISHED YOU WILL HAVE A NEW ISO IMAGE NAMED STAR.ISO THAT YOU CAN NOW BURN IN STEP 5. 5) BURN THE NEW ISO IMAGE ONTO A BLANK DVD. USE YOUR FAVORITE DVD BURNING UTILITY TO BURN IT AT THE SLOWEST SPEED.
I'm using unbranded disks. 25 for $30. Seems cheaper if I'm going to burn coasters, then I only have to pay for cases for the ones that worked Mercenaries works beautifully. I played it for three hours last night, and it glitched once, and in fairness, that may have been a game glitch as some reviews I've read says the game does glitch. I always use DVD Decrypter to burn ISO's.
Why can't I download the Wulfie zip? I never get a download save window? It just keeps refreshing the pro hosting screen?
Hi I was wondering where can i find the Mercenaries patch to use with swap magic its gotta be here somewhere
hod 85, you have to rebuild this game. Read this thread carefully for instructions. There is no "patch" that I know of.
try this link http://www.ps2ownz.com/ u can get the patch from here but u cant use free email address accounts to register Example yahoo hotmail
after using the patch is the new ISO suppose to be 4.37 gb like the original??? do i need to do anything before patching it
i dled the cdvdgen off the site but i have the same problem as another guy and get the 16bit ms dos auotexec error. does anyone kno how to fix this?
Hi, this does not have much to do with mercenaries but still es kind of related. I've been trying to backup ghost recon 2. I tried ripping it to an iso file and then burning it to a TDK dvd+r 4x using dvd decrypter. For all my other backups this method worked flawlessly. I use the swap magic 3.3 boot disk. But when I pressed load program, the backup started spinning and then it returned to the playstation's browser screen. After a little bit of research, mainly in this thread, I found out about the rebuilding method, using iso buster. So I rebuild my iso created with dvd decrypter, following step by step and burn it again. But still, I have the same problem as before. Is there a new protection out there? any help will be greatly appreciated.
i had the same loading issues.....i rebuilt the image and it is roughly half the size and works perfectly
