My advise to all those who are thinking of or actually are ripping GT3, is to first rip a game that is straight forward.
Summoner - This is an excellent choice as it is a piece of cake.

It is part of the dvd ripping tutorial by Gokan (Following this through in full is a good idea!)

This will give you the basics of ripping and will also test that your tools are working such as IML2ISO and CD/DVD Generator.

After you have made a successful copy of Summoner or another easy to rip game goto http://www.sgt-dan.com and download the GT3 rip tutorial, and all the tools listed that have GT3 in their title.
Follow the tutorial through fully, step for step, checking you have covered everything after each step.

If you have problems copying the gt3.vol use a windows startup disc to boot up the system choosing start with CD-ROM support and type the following from the DOS prompt
a:> C: [ENTER]
c:> MD GT3 [ENTER]
c:> copy e:\*.* c:\gt3 [ENTER]

In this example c: = The Harddrive you wish to copy to.
e: = Your DVD-ROM Drive

If you have more than 1 harddrive E: may be F: or G:
D: Which is normally the DVD-ROM drive is used as a RAM drive when booting up the system using the windows startup disc so drive letters are temporarily changed.

Please follow these guidelines and get experience of easy dvd ripping before attempting GT3 because it is tricky to backup if you don't understand the basics of ripping.

Thanks Sim PM
