Are you even sure the PAL is DVD9?

Remember what happened with concept:
PAL = DVD5 / NTSC = DVD9

been playing it since last friday - much niceness!!

according to alcohol 120%, the game is 5.27GB

I dont backup any of my ps2 games(ps2 not chipped) - what tools should I use to check the disks for size and protection??

i got the gt4 today and yes it is too big to go on a normal dvd so i used a dual layer dvd i managed to copy it using stomp record now max but when i put it in the ps 2 i get the 1st screen up then it goes black and then nothing else has anybody got any ideas

Oh my gosh...I really wish people would do a search first.. ok, unlike Xenosaga 2 which CAN be backed up on dual layer dvd-r's, GT4 is also copyprotected in addition to being dual layered. No such fixes yet.

Can we sticky this please because I swear there is a "How can I back up GT4?" post every day.

It's not really copy protection in the strictest sense of the word. It's basically a PTP write strategy used on the second layer, which many softwares and burners cannot replicate...

yeh ive been reading up on this, its just a lack of technology which current dvd writers havent been able to do. All that needs to be done is a patch to change this or even compress the dvd.

Skelaratus · #10 09-03-2005, 14:26

Exactly, kind of like a new feature that can't be handled by current DVD writers. Regardless, someone should sticky this so people can stop posting the same question every day regarding GT4.

for all we know, the pal version doesnt have that on the disks

u never know....anyone able to verify???

I think the AO9 has PTP burning abilities. Look in the specs of the drive.

doesn't the media have to be PTP also? because all the dvd9 media at meritline says the media is OPT

TylerDurden · #14 09-03-2005, 18:42

Hell if I know.

I have an AO7.

Tyler!
