The Official God Of War Thread ( SONIX tool fix fully working)

no it was 4gb but I red that it can work if it doesn,t pass 4,2 in harddrive space. The game works but the vids don't play...If in the relinking process I relink more than 1 file that is missing to the same pss file is that a problem?

 

its probably your ps2 console, or the dl media;the DL+R discs work for me.

 

You don't have to delete ALL the BONUS**.PSS files when making a DVD5 backup.
There's enough room left to retain SOME bonus content.

Here's what I recommend: *PAL version*

BONUS01 = Game completed message (8.2MB) KEEP
BONUS03 = Making of the game (409MB) DELETE
BONUS06 = Deleted levels footage (221MB) DELETE
BONUS10 = Creature design artwork (75.6MB) DELETE
BONUS12 = Kratos design sketches (120MB) DELETE
BONUS14 = Location design sketches (121MB) DELETE
BONUS16 = Kratos background story (42.8MB) KEEP
BONUS17 = Kratos origin secret (76MB) KEEP
BONUS18 = What became of the Titan (30.4MB) KEEP
BONUS19 = Easter Egg message (56.2MB) DELETE
BONUS20 = Credits (105MB) KEEP
BONUS20A= Kratos message (2.1MB) KEEP
BONUS21 = Trailer (24.5MB) KEEP
BONUS24 = God message (45.3MB) KEEP

By KEEPing the specified bonus files, you will not lose ANY story/ending/secret movies or messages.

ENJOY!

 

hey im trying to backup gow onto a 4.7gb dvd-r can anyone tell me how

e-mail me at jmoshaughnNOSPAM@aol.com - take away NOSPAm
cheers
joe

 

jojo, if i send you an ntsc version is it ok?

 

erm could you convert to PAL 1st. theres software that's widly available to do this.

 

I have the PAL version of God Of War, and i managed after many fustrating Hours to finally back it up. I clocked a good 9 hours before getting it done.

For any newbies who are attempting to back up a PAL version of GOW, dont be thrown off by guides when you get to the CDVDGEN part saying wright down the digits beside, SLUS OR SLES files, in the PAL version these files are named, SCES. Just continue as you normal would with guide after than.

Also i got an error message (AFTER) the files finished extracting, but when i retried this it worked without any errors, so be patient and keep trying.

 

Yo,subzero14

Use Jizmak guide, its the exact same method i used when backing up God of War and ive finished the backed up game without any problems.

Ok, here's my problem..

I've tried to backup the whole lot inc bonus etc files using sonix tutorial 2... everything has gone fine up to the point where he says to join the files together again using his join.bat file.
when i run the join.bat file it comes up with errors (not the ones that i got when demuxing them) and don't get any pss files at the end either.
any ideas where this is going wrong? I'm thinking of trying to put the whole command line into the bat file, maybe that's the problem?
the errors i am getting is

all suggestions greatly received... spent around 4-5 hours doing this so far and want to finish it.

Thanks

 

Can someone tell me why I only get 7.93 instead of 7.97? I think I am not getting all of it. Thanks.

 

the bat file is just an auto way of doing the Combining,you could open up your command, and use the command,

Copy/b file.000 + file.001 file.iso

(replacing the file with your file name of course)

 

It would be advised to make back up of the files before you continue... Since you've spent so long you dont need to mess up near the end

 

no, not got a cle what your idea is there... the bat file uses the program pssplex to mux the files back together.
don't see how using command line to join bin files will help me here???

thanks anyway

 

Oh sorry i forgot you where using sonixs guide. Im afraid i cant help you much. I tried sonixs guide but i failed. I did successfully back up God of War how ever with a different method with no problems. If you cant get this to work, give me a shout and ill help you through it.

Ciao

 

ok, no worries...gave up on that way of doing things... would have been fine ig i had visual basic or something..checked out the file i was missing and it's one that don't have on xp..anyway found visual basic 6 and tried to install, but wouldn't do it, so gave up on that. Just thought I'd let you know so that if anyone else is trying sonix tutorial #2 for god of war and runs into the same problems.
Anyway, now have a working copy thanks to jizmaks help. could have had this done around 7 hours ago if i'd done this first..was easy as!!
basically all you're doing is extracting the files from the pak file or whatever and then deleting a few of the files that are un-needed to play the game. rebuild the pak and toc files and then build the iso again.
burn this iso and you're done... burnt it at 8 speed with nero...works like a charm!!!
I've i'd done this from start to finish in the first place i could have had it done in about 1-2 hours instead of around 10.
thanks guys
