Hey guys, please clarify...if you can.
 

Where do I get a dnasxxx.img file from? So that I can put it into by backup?

Lets take NHL ESPN for example, I got the Disk ID utility, I put it into my sony and got my disc id.

I understand that I have to make and image, get winimage and replace the dnasxxx.img file, but my question is, where do I get a valid dnasxxx.img file?

Or is it that I have to just type in my disc id, when opened in winimage?

Thanks, it would help alot, if I can clarify this.

it seems your game is one of those games that have no dnasxxx.img file.

put the game disk into pc dvdrom and use windows search and search the disk for *.img , then post here the full name of img files that you've found.

IOPRP271.img two of these.
Also has a DNAS.rel file.

Once again, this is ESPN NHL.

i can make the patch for u all u need to do is load the id prog on ur modded ps2 then put the espn hockey origianl game in and hit x it will get the id it looks like this A2:C3:00:30:4C it will look like that and aftr u get this look up the dnasxxx.imge file on the disk u can do like kafan just do a seach for it on the disk it will say eather dnas271.img or dnas280.img or dnas300.img aftr u get them to things i can make the patch and email it to u :) then u just replce it int he iso with winimge and burn the game and play online.

Hey Evo, I sent you a pm with my email addre3ss, if you want to send me the dnasxx.img creator.

Ya, I checked my disk, and there isnt any dnasxxx.img file on my original, the files that it has I listed in my previous reply.

I was right, your game has no dnasxxx.img file, you should patch those two IOPRP271.img files,

So I copy them from my original disk, to my HDD.

THen patch them, then inject them into my iso?

so ur saying the espn hockey has no dnas files ? will that patcher patch files other then dnas ?

Well, I renamed dnas271.nip to ioprp271.nip.
Then ran it as if it were with an dnas217.img file.

And it said, succesfull. I dont wanna waste a DVD-R though to tsest this.

WOuld ya'll like me too.?

Ok guys, I inject one of those files and it worked fine. However, when I went to inject the second one it told me that the image was full, and didnt do it.

yes renaming dnas271.nip to ioprp271.nip is the right way and did both of files patched successfully?

no, one of them said, that the image is full and did not let me
what can I do

I meant the patch procedure with the diskid3.
do those two files have the same size? I mean the size in byte not in kilobyte

hey could u post that id xx:xx:xx:xx i got that game as well just need the id and i can try it as well :)

Kahfan, which two files? The one on my HDD, to the image? Or the patched file wit hte original?

ya same size, and I think I just found out how to fix the second one. I ll post in a sec

I mean the size of those two unpatched IOPRP271.img files is the same (in Bytes) or not? I want to know if those two IOPRP271.img files are the same or not.

no they are not the same

1) The one I patcehed and worked, and injected fine was bigger

2) the other one wouldnt even allow me to patch, becasue it sai that it wasnt the original.

However both files were copied from my original.

OK I exactly expected to hear this. just inject the one that patched successfully with diskid3 and forget about the other one.

OK, i alread own this game, do you guys still want tme to try?

FOr the sake of trying?>

I'm pretty sure it works fine if you patched it with correct ID.

@ khafan: Are you really sure about the patching? It's not really a DNAS.img.

@ Nature X: Did you already made a backup of that game without patching it... And tried going online?

yeah I'm sure, two person at ps2own did this and went online with no prob.

No, I have the original, didnt need the backup. I just patched it to see how it works.

Ok thx :) I thought it only was for DNAS images. Coz the Admin was talking about if you don't have a Dnas.img you don't need to patch it?

I heard that NHL2004 also has no dnasxxx.img, but this one has ioprp255.img and iopd270.img, so simply you found out that you should patch the iopd270.img

@ NatureX: Did you get it to work?

@ khafan: Again something new, is always good to know :)Thx
