Rallisport Challenge 2 problems

[Lee_5]

Sorry guys, I see someone else posted about the size of the game, but nobody ever answered. Is there some way to reduce the size of the game to fit on a DVD-R?

Also, I have a Maxtor 30G ATA100/7200 HD in my Xbox, and I am unable to lock it. Most of you already know that means I can't turn my modchip off. I am unable to even play RSC2, even from the DVD, without it telling me there is something wrong with the disc. I'm wondering if this is a game that has the protection that looks for the MS Dashboard or whatever, and the fact that I can't turn my modchip off is why this game won't play.

I take it that nobody in here has tried to do RalliSport Challenge 2.....I've used PX HDD Loader to put this game on the HD, and it still wont play, I'm getting the same "something is wrong with the disc error"......i FTP'd it to my laptop and tried patching all of the .xbe files, but according to Craxtion, none of them needed patching.

If anyone figures out what is going on here, please let me know.

Try using the latest dvd2xbox 0.5.7

[Lee_5]

thx for your suggestion, but that didn't work either....i'm figuring that Microsoft has finally figured out a way of protecting their games.....OR

as i stated before, my current HD is not lockable.....therefore, i can't turn off my modchip.....it is highly possible there really is something wrong with the disc, but i don't know since i can't turn the chip off to play it normally.

I just backed up the disc by deleting some of the tracks from the Location0 dir. If you look at the names of the tracks they are labeled....R1...HC1...RC1... etc.. I assume this stands for Rally, Hill Climb...etc....The games booted and played fine until you choose one of the missing tracks, then you get the dirty disc error....SO....I assume there is no fix for this, since you can't really break them up....UNLESS...you can backup another game with those tracks and switch out the discs...hehe.....In another world perhaps....Just me two cents

Later all

[Lee_5]

i understand your point about the size of the game, and there doesn't appear to be any dummy files on this one.......what i'm talking about is trying to play the game from the hard drive.......i copied it to my Xbox HD and to my PC HD (in case a fix is found later), but I continue to get the dirty disc error everytime........this is a brand new DVD with absolutely NOW marks on it whatsoever.

Just burn the game on two dvd-r and it is ready tom play?

And what do you mean whit this line in youré attements "The only re-arrangements is the 'LAYER' dirs.
The root dir, Media, Locale, Movies should remain
untouched."

Hey ash, how does this work with regards to swapping the discs?

When doing a tournament do you have to watch out for specific tracks or has it been split in a certain way?

[ihaveanosebleed]

Yeah, I can't see that split up working too great! I was thinking something like all counties tracks 1-6 on first CD and 7-12 on second. If career mode loads then in order you might make it half way through the career and then swap. there should be room to overlap quite a few tracks like have 1-7 on CD1 and 5-12 on CD2 or something like that. Or put all tracks 1-6 on the hard drive and play util it stops and tweek the tracks to need swapping at a convenient spot and not error in the middle of a big tour.

Sony's new duel layer dvd writer is out now (they're selling it at www.bigpockets.co.uk)

so may invest in one soon when the discs become easily available!
