The Official GT4 Thread

Can anyone confirm / deny this?
I'm just asking out of curiosity.
I think it's totally wrong to pay for pirated materials. I don't really see too big a problem with backing up a game for personal use, however, I think it's a gigantic problem when some asian dude rips a game off, and makes his livelihood from selling it.

HERE...HERE.....i suppose it's my fault,BUT it was advertised as an ORIGINAL NTSC PS2 game on ...you guessed it E-BAY.i ordered metal gear solid 3 -snake eater last year,because they had delayed it 2-3 months here in oz land,it arrived,first look,looked original,but what got me thinking it was pirated,was there was no original PS2 box art and manual(as advertised).....so i looked at the disc more closely,the art work on the disc was impressive,but there was no PS2 logo to be found on it anywhere,or the game developers logo....then i looked underneath on the data side,no PS2 logos stamped into the data side either.....i got ripped off. hey and get this,i informed ebay australia,because thats who i went thru,they said because i paid cash,theres nothing they can do about it,and to report it to the relevant authorities....well bugger me dead WHAT relative authorities?? no-one wanted anything to do with it,AFP-they referred me to crimestoppers,because they say thats not their juristriction,CRIMESTOPPERS-informed me to get in touch with the AFP,ACCC they reffered me to a place that handles copyrights,THEY didn't want anything to do with it,this went on and on with different departments,so if you want to become a "pirate", australia is the place to be *L* your safe,because no-one seems to care about breaking any copyright laws,there appears to be no law enforcement agency that handles copyright infringements in australia.
sorry got off track a bit there...
i can't confirm/deny your question,i just commented on your "I think it's totally wrong to pay for pirated materials." part
however i can tell you that xbox games seem to be universal,mine is not modded and it plays NTSC games from the states,and so does my nephews xbox..but don't rush out and try it,i don't want to get the blame for saying "but you said" maybe iv'e been lucky,i dunno,

I dont have the knowledge mate, thats why i came here for advice lol

 

Right ive extracted the GT4.VOL file and got rid of the JP and US files/folders. All I want noow is a app to make my edited GT4 folder back into a .VOL
Help please

 

just a long shot here....has any one tried the adrenilin patching method? the method to fix booting problems with EA games...when i get time,and find all the relevant programmes i might give it a go,might be awhile before i get round to it....thats the reason why i asked if anyone has used this method yet,more so for a 1:1 copy without using any other kits out for GT4......just a thought,they might of resorted back to an old forgotten about method for newer DVD-ROM games

Hey wats up I would just wait to be honest,Sonix has made a tool called munge-o-matic.This tool really is what we need to be honest,reason why is that it has plugin support.We can input a .dll file to extract .VOL files.I'm not saying it will come anytime soon,but keep a lookout for this tool.I am sure it will come in handy with the .VOL extraction process.Once someone can supply the .VOL dll file plugin for this program things will take off for Swap Magic users .Not really familiar with the plugin .dll for .VOL files for this program,but just letting you know that this is a great tool that could extract the true files from the .VOL files.

Peace L-Burna

 

I have a modbo 1.1 in my pstwo and I flashed the Bios to 1.4 (beta) and that works fine!

Then:
I copied my original PAL GT4 on a dual layer disc using DVD Decrypter and it works like a charm!

So for al of you people with matrix chip or modbo or other clone the problem has been fixed!

 

Anyone know if the DVD9 method will work with a Magic3.1 chip.
Dont want to waste my only DL..

 

Munge-o-matic available at backuptools.co.uk
Hope its ok to say this!!

 

hey guys
im from down under and just wondering if it is possible to play a back up copy of gt4 on my messiah 2 chip if i apply these new patches that work with some chips??

 

they are not patches, its a bios update for that specific chip.

 

hi im new and wanted to know, i have a ps2 with the "Mars III MA-502" chip, my model number is SCPH-30002, and im in australia. if there ever becomes a patch for a backup copy of GT4 for all chips will my chip be able to play a DVD+R DL like GT4. thanks for any help!

 

Jas89,
I can't see why not.
Even so hopefully a dvd5 patch isn't far away so then you won't need dvd+dl support.
