i got gt4 image on the hdd, but im stuck. that "fully patched hdl" wont boot, i think its a bad image..ive never had a prob booting any good disc b4, its not the media im using cuz ive used it for difft games b4 w/ no problems. the fully patch'd hdl iso is only 1.something mg's, my old hdl is like 20g's, i think its a bad image. any other download sites?

[TylerDurden]

That ISO is good Ive tested it myself. You could try injecting a 100mb dummy in there.

i tried w/ a 14 and a 73 mg dummy, maybe im doing it wrong (its been awhile), i opened the iso w/ winiso, added a 73mb mpg and thats it right? dont need to change the file ext of the dummy do i? im up to 3 coasters..at least theyre cd's. and does the dummy need to be b4 the cnf/elf, or after, does it matter?

[TylerDurden]

Well if your laser isnt up to it then you could try burning it to a DVDRW with a 100mb dummy. That way you dont get anymore coasters. Heck Im bootin that ISO off a cdr without dummies or anything without probs.


Either that or just try and figure out the exploit and use the hdl.elf inside the iso for it.

its NOT the laser, i ve now tried it in mode 1 9660 --which is what comes up when i click burn image->that.iso, ive tried it in mode2/xa..both w/ 195mb dummies. no go. does it matter WHERE the dummy goes into the iso, cuz when i add it it goes to the end. burn the disc, put it into the comp drive and open it it comes up in the order of comedy centrl (dummy).mpg ->elf ->sys cnf

[TylerDurden]

Well i dont know what to tell you man cause I dont need to use the dummy.

will it read rw's not sure ive ever tried

[TylerDurden]

Well it depends on your particular ps2. But mine will read either +RW or -RW's.

[barkroc2]

well the lasers being a little picky tonight, 2 tries to boot my other 2 hd cds--but they do boot and i think theyre like 20 mb. btw if i hadnt said it yet, the last dummy was 195bmb. i try not to swear on here, but man im gonna have to f*ck w/ that exploit bu))shti pain in the ass

[TylerDurden]

Yup.

Its definately not the ISO, I just burned it with dvd decrypter to a Cheap cd-r with no dummy file added and it boots every try.

[barkroc2]

default settings on decryptor? ive never used that prog for this b4

[barkroc2]

heres where im @: i got the patch'd hdl to boot finally, its a pain in the ass and takes like 5-10 tries everytime, which i dont understand cuz EVERYOTHER disc i have cd or dvd boots fine. but any rate, the patch'd hdl boots, but gt4 hangs after the scea presents: screen just like w/ the old hdl. i used decryptor to make the gt4 iso (4.94gb) and ftp'd it to the hdd. did i miss something? after decrypt made the iso, it also created another file:gt4.mds--whats that? did i have to use that for something? please help this is getting to be a big headache and im sooo close. thanx

[TylerDurden]

The mds is just like a cue file and not needed. I used the exact procedure I mentioned to boot my Retail unpatched, untouched GT4 image. Did you use Winhiip to upload? If you used anything else I cant say if itll work or not.
