Has anyone encountered a problem with trying to use iso buster on the nhl 2004 image file? I've used Alcohol 120 to create the image file, then used Iso buster to try and extract the image to my hard drive. ISO Buster keeps hitting a wall when trying to copy to folder with the file "PBP" as well as a couple of others (so that you can delete the DUMMY.PAD file and replace it with your own). I assume this is the problem, because when I try to use Disc Juggler to make the new dvd, it keeps crapping out.
I tried to backup nhl 2004 with nero and the back might work just fine but I can't load the dvd copy i made. It seems that my problem is that the game is too large for my swap magic DVD to work with it. I believe that the track table on the 5.3 gig swap magic dvd is just short to match the data on the game. I have tried the boot loader cd as well, (first had to use it for soul calliber 2)and it would not work either. When I used boot loader, i tried to use the actual game dvd to set up the table to match and believe it or not, boot loader will not recognise the original dvd. the complaint is that it can not validate the dvd. Bastards! The messed up part is that i can get the game to work all the way up to the point that it actualy starts to play, that it is that it locks up just before the screen changes to game play. It there a patch or something I can use?
I just can't figure this one out. I've researched like crazy for few days now, and have tried many burning softwares (Alcohol, Nero, Discjuggler), and nothing seems to work. I now have 5 coasters. It all seems to stem from a file called PB8 in the game. It is a .BIG file that I can't extract it without getting errors, in order to swap the DUMMY.PAD file (1.6 GB) for a smaller one. I sure hope someone can help, I'm at a loss as to where to go from here.
