My apple modded v7 doesn't seem to boot Xenosaga ( ORIGINAL )

WTF?!

Any ideas????

Well, it finally booted ( after about TWENTY ****IGN TIMES! )

What gives? Why does it hate Xenosaga?

It worked fine for Charlie in his review of the apple chip. Are you using an import or the US version?

TheMasterRat · #3 26-02-2003, 13:46

It's the US version bighap

bighap · #4 26-02-2003, 14:56

Hmmm, I might have to go rent this game to try it out with my apple.

is xeno saga out in the U.S. alrdy and can it be copied on 2 a
dvd-r

bighap · #6 26-02-2003, 15:46

Yeah its out but from what I have read it is a dvd9 so it isnt burnable yet. Can you confirm this TheMasterRat?

Fitting it on to 1 DVD-R isn't possible. But splitting it onto 2 DVD-R's, now there's the right direction.

Someone will need to figure that one out, though. My guess is, someone is already trying.

I know BG tried everything to backup the Pal version of Xenosaga, but had no luck. Someone will find a way eventually.

mud ver.2 · #9 26-02-2003, 23:26

Yeah.

If release groups like Kalisto can rip DVD games down to CD-R's, then there is no reason why a DVD9 can't be split is 2.

The great thing about DVD9... It's never bigger than 2 DVD-R's.

bighap · #10 26-02-2003, 23:39

The problem isn't the size. It's the fact that there are dummy files and the game is only recognized as having one layer by Windows, or something to this effect. Maybe BG can add a little to this on his findings....

TheMasterRat · #11 27-02-2003, 00:38

Sorry for not replying guys. yes, the game is DVD9.

Yes, it was released in the US on 2/26/02.

RecordNow Max shows the following information :

DAMNIT!

It's doing it ( or not doing it as the case is ) AGAIN!

The thing won't boot. WHAT GIVES?!

ldfjkl;asdjkl;fadsjlk;fajsdkl

Frustration. Don't mind me.

Charlie, if you read this thread, would you mind posting EXACTLY how you were successful in booting this game? Because I've tried everything so far.

The PS2 works great for everything else. Plays all backups and originals.

WHAT JACKASS AT MONOLITH DECIDED TO PUBLISH DVD9 WHICHC THE PS2 HAS PROBLEMS READING TO BEGIN WITH!?

GAH!

bighap · #13 27-02-2003, 05:32

Charlie's test was with the pal version of the game. Maybe things are different with the ntsc version. If you have a gameshark, you might want to try booting behind that to see if you have any better luck.

would the xeno saga fit on to this dvd Optodisc DVD-RAM 9.4GB or is a ram dirve different from a dvd burner and 2nd ? i seen a 2 sided dvd disk holds 9.4 would that be good to copie games on like put gta3 on 1 side vice city on the other have 2 games in 1

bighap · #15 27-02-2003, 07:31

The Optodisc 9.4gb dvds are just double sided dvds as well, so it is basically 2 discs and the game would still need to be split somewhere. Yes you can use double sided dvd media to put a different game on each side but be prepared to pay more for these types of discs. The disc is more likely to be damaged as well because you don't have a protected side.
