    I have looked at a lot of guides and are confused about a few things.

    I know that we are to open isobuster and place them back into nero the way that it was in the orginal image correct? But at the same time, I read that we should be placing them into NERO by LBA order.

    Which one is correct? Cause I have a game that I replaced a file, the LBA order is the same although the LBA is not identical (because I have changed one of the files and the size increased) I have also tried just following the order and dropping them in Nero which didn't work either ><

    Which is correct?

    Drop and drag them into the Nero UDF/ISO burning tool in the same order they appear in ISO Buster. Nero will rearrange them as you drop them in, but i was told it still burns them in the order they were droped in. how true that is i can not say. I have been told that it really doesn't matter what order they are droped in but can not confirm that as the only times i did it i put them into Nero in the same order as ISO BUster had them, and it worked so why ask why.

    so you dropped them into it by folder? and just drop them in as what you see in the root? cause if u export the LBA, you will notice that the order of the files inside each folder matters too

    thats what I am using now~ but I just wanted some clarificaion ^^;;

    if I change a file, and the file is now bigger meaning towards the end the LBA is different. ><

    alrite, this is what I am messing with

    Narutimate Hero 3 (Jap)

    I extracted the sound file using ultraiso

    there is a sound.afs file in side that opens using winning eleven sound editor, I then recompiled it and made a new iso with the replaced file. But the new sound file is slightly bigger (I am using CD/DVD Gen) to put the files bak in the right LBA order but then since the sound file is bigger, the files that belong on the DVD after the sound file has a different LBA then the original disc.

    I can get pass the Swap Magic disc but the game does'nt load..I found the informatoin to do this with a combination of the folloiwng links:

    http://www.geocities.com/schoe1988/nh3_bg.html
    http://my.afterdawn.com/3dluis/blog_entry.cfm/82

    and also a lot of other "rebuild" threads and information...

    And I'll bet you never rebuilt the LBA of the sound.afs file?

    You can't just go messing about with files from a game without having some knowledge of what you're doing, especially when you try to use a tool designed specifically for a different game.
