Yup.



Tyler!

Its definately not the ISO, I just burned it with dvd decrypter to a Cheap cd-r with no dummy file added and it boots every try.

default settings on decryptor? ive never used that prog for this b4

heres where im @: i got the patch'd hdl to boot finally, its a pain in the ass and takes like 5-10 tries everytime, which i dont understand cuz EVERYOTHER disc i have cd or dvd boots fine. but any rate, the patch'd hdl boots, but gt4 hangs after the scea presents: screen just like w/ the old hdl. i used decryptor to make the gt4 iso (4.94gb) and ftp'd it to the hdd. did i miss something? after decrypt made the iso, it also created another file:gt4.mds--whats that? did i have to use that for something? please help this is getting to be a big headache and im sooo close. thanx

The mds is just like a cue file and not needed. I used the exact procedure I mentioned to boot my Retail unpatched, untouched GT4 image. Did you use Winhiip to upload? If you used anything else I cant say if itll work or not.

WinHIIP V1.7.2 --just got it, it doesnt support ftp?
thats gay

Got my GT4 to work on my HDD using winhiip, 0.6d HDL patch, dvddecrypter and DLPatcher. For some reason I can't seem to get Metal Gear Solid substance to work, anyone tried it? And the 0.6d HDL that I installed onto my MC with Crystal Chip, the mode isn't simple like before, it hav a whole bunch of options instead of the mode 1, 2, 3 now. Any ideas?

I happen to like Winhiip. As for MGSS, I think the 0.6d patch doesnt work for it. I cant remember for sure.

YEAH! winhiip kicks ass. i like the network connection tho cuz im lazy- i just put it in, start the xfer pop a movie in and they'd both be done about the same time. a friend has an ide->usb cable so i borrowed it to avoid pulling out my desk(the main reason i avoided direct hdd to hdd)tghat cable rocks... 2 minutes to pull the hdd from the ps2, hook to cpu, started winhiip (i fig'd it'd take an hour or so)went to buy smokes 2 blocks -and i drove--got home and it was done! WOW. of course my patched hdl would NOT boot, sometimes it will most times it wont so i dont know if gt4s working but i trust it will. btw is there a way to burn that iso to dvd to make it easier to read? but yeah winhiip rocks-definately.

so heres what i did:
1) gave up on that damn exploit thing- i only wanted it to boot that damn toxic hdl anyhow.
2) took a cd that i KNOW will boot every time--my execftp disc.
made an img of THAT disc, opened it w/ winiso,changed the last line in the sysem.cnf file from
"execftp.elf" --to--> "hdlfpp.elf", deleted the execftp.elf outta the img and inserted hdlfpp.elf into the img. left the dat there (which has all my ip info), left the 10mb dummy, used decryptor to create bin/cue. burnt it (to the same media ive been using all along and made multiple coasters trying to just burn the toxichdl.iso) it boots every single damn time!!--everytime, no problems @ all. gt4 palys like a champ--also no problems. PISS ON the exploit for yet another couple-a-months
