You can't put it on cd-r and expect it to work IF it was originally on a DVD disc.....

If you would have copied it to a dvd-r it would have worked.....

If you want to put it on a cd-r, you are going to have to find the dvd-checks and REMOVE them......

Yes i was thinking about putting it to dvdr, but the file when i explore the dvdr with windows is only 380 mb, even when Prassi reads it in as a global image it is still 380mb, surely for it to be on a dvd disc it would b a lot more than this ???

Many Thanx

There are quite a few games that are on a dvd disc that are actually small enough to fit on a cd-r.....
It just makes it harder for the "average joe" with no dvd burner to copy it......

Wait until you get a game that windows explorer shows to be about 2.22 gb in size (aka JAP Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance)...

BUT in reality it is about 6.1 gb in size..... (aka DVD-9)

Yeah.... Just make and burn your .GI image like normal and you should have no problems....

For us consumers, no. The only option available is to rip them.
