NBA Live 2005 --- Patching

[NatureX]

Hey guys, if I can get any help possible, I would much appriciate it.

These are the steps I took...

Made a .nrg file with Nero from my origional NBA 2005 dvd.

Now the image works fine and plays, but im having difficulties with the DNAS patching.

1) My first time
- I got the ID from the dvd with disk id utility, then I patched the game on my pc hdd with the GUI patcher, it said patched, so I burnt the image file and the dnas gave me an error in the 400's. Which means the game didnt patch at all.

2) My second time
- I got a patcher from PS2Ownz, which made me look through my image file for the dnasXXX.img file manually, and then use there little gui patcher to patch the file, and re-inject it into the image with winimage.

I burnt it again, this time, the dnas took a little longer, and then gave me an authentication error in the 800's.

So, if I did anything wrong or anything, I dont know, can I please get some assistance with this, or any thoughts.

Please and thank you.

what was the exact error number in the 800's and by GUI patcher, do you mean windip 1.7 ?

Im at work, cant remember the exact 800 error, maybe close to 824 or something, it also said, Authentication Error.

For number 1) I used PS2Nfo Image Patcher (This one, did everything automatically, I just added in my Disk Id)
for number 2) I used Disk Id Inserter ( so I found the dnasXXX.img file manually, used the Disk Id Inserter, then re-injected it)

come on man! you've been in ps2 forums long enough to know that image patcher is stolen version of windip, besides image patcher 1.6 is from old windip 1.5 that doesn't have scan feature for unknow dna$ files, this ability added to windip 1.7 .
anyway if the error number is 864, it means the id that you've got from original disk is not correct, maybe your modchip interfering with the dna$ id utility.

So, a solution might be to actually pacth the game with windip(newest version) instead of the id patcher?

I ll try it tonight.

no that Disk Id Inserter patched your game correctly, you first go see what is the exact error number and if it is error 864, then find a way to get correct id from the original disk.
