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

IT'S ALIVE!!!

Successfully backed up GOW using SONIX's method, 3rd time was the charm. Played to whole game again to test the backup, took about 2 days. Backed up the entire game incl all video, bonus material etc. Works 100%.

Works on my old PS2 (3years old) with Messiah 2 chip. Backed up using a cheap no branch name 16x dvd5 blank. Amazing hey.

Thanks to all for the assistance!

 

So what your saying is that the toxic patch sends the instructions to the actual chip telling it to read the disk a certain way? In that case it wouldn't work with the disc because there is nothing to "hear" those instructions.

It's too bad it wouldn't send the instructions right to the original bios on the PS2. Oh well...I will just try and buy the game. Can't pirate everything I guess....we all have to buy a game sooner or later

 

when i use godofwar to open godofwar.toc it says error openning i don't know what wrong please help ....

 

actualy said error openning part2.pak

 

can someone please post what the order of the files is ment to be like in the original because i dont have a my original anymore.

 

When you open the iso using apache 2, it'll tell you the order the files are in.

Hi all. Just popped in to check this thread out. Been busy with the GT4 thing and all. But with that now seemingly in hand I'd thought I'd lend a hand with any questions on GOW. I've started by putting all of sonix tools on my site at http://thefileforum.com (Look in the PS2 Backup section). No registration is required, although you're welcome to get involved if you wish. I'm partly doing this because Sonix has announced the imminent closure of his site.

I'm busy reading through the thread so it may take a while before I'm able to get round to answering questions.

 

i have it open can u plz tell me the order.

 

i cant find the sonix god of war tool anywhere have dvd decrypter, apache 2, and cd dvd generator, but cant find the tool to complete sonix website doesnt have it help please!!!

 

yea his website has it

 

this is what i got it it helps a few guys, i have pal, i didnt get a scus file i got a SCES, i tried using apache with those two iml files from sonix tut but i kept getting the system aborting error, i went to cd/dvd gen and made my own iml file, i got 1 error and installed the other dll file to system 32 but i still got 1 error, i went on back to apache and used the iml file i just created and i didnt get an error and it started creating an iso file, it is currently doing it now, i will keep u updated if it works, i think the pal ppl are getting the SCES? also if this works but freezes on the particular level, i have saved data on my memory card that i think is past that level will it go past it if i load from the mem card?

 

searched his website but i couldnt find it all could find was that the site was closings in a few weeks

 

couldn't I just decrypt the game with dvd decrypter and then write it in ISO onto a double layer disc?

 

Sonix' Tools are on his Downloads page. There is a link near the top of the site.

You can also get these files at http://www.thefileforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9

 

ok, ive redone mine the way on the first page, im with pal and ive done everything correct, but i got 3.3gig instead and it always freezes on pandoras temple, what can i do?

 

the only one i got to work all way through was by deleting bonus03 and using the latest pssdown and downsampling at about 40%.

 

ok thanks, ive already done that (well ive started), i used sonix's god of war tut v3. which is just downsizing it and not deleting al those other psw and pss files.

 

I just have a quick question, I just downloaded the dvd9 image files of GOW. They come in .gi files. Can I load them on to my hdadvance since I don't have a mod chip? What about creating the iso and installing it from that, will it work? Thanks sorry for the Noobie q's.
