Guide: How to unpack ITG ps2 disk

[Zero0920]

One thing I forgot to mention, the packing went perfectly too. No freezing, no errors, no anything.

EDIT: I just tried out my new repacked ISO, and everything works perfectly!

[MaxXimus]

Since everything works perfectly, make a release !!!

I would, if I had permission. That is Rodent's friend's desision.

At the moment, I am converting every song from DDR Extreme Arcade into the correct formats. I'm going to see if I can get it to boot without any ITG simfiles on it. I have a hunch that the earlier ones didn't work because they were CDs and I *think* ITG has to be on a DVD.

You were right, nekura. It booted fine when using a DVD. I put in a dummy file that made it bigger so that the ISO builder would actually build it.

Anyway, after many hours of work converting mp3s to 48 KHz OGGs, I successfully loaded an ISO with all of the songs from DDR Extreme AC, and none from ITG. I also changed around some things in the Static.ini and they worked too (timing windows, scoring, grading, the thing that causes the mod selector to go back to the little arrow on the side after selecting the mod, and the default mods). Everything in the game seems to work perfectly . Although, it did take a little while longer to load in the beginning, I think thats because it had 200+ songs to load, instead of the 70+ songs of ITG.

Also, again, I had absolutely no problems building the PCK files with the packer (it built one that was over 400 MB with ease! It never would've done that when I originally got it). Unless Rodent or his friend encounter anything wrong with it, I'd say its ready to be released (but, again, I'm not the one to make that desision).

Can't wait to play around with it. :) I know there are clones of Sony's CD/DVD Generator but I can't find any links at the moment. If I find the link, I'll post it here so that legal crap can be avoided in the tutorial.

Hi there Mates

Kalek, thanks for testing,
i appreciate, as i know, that testing can be sometimes "boring", due to the long time IMS2ISO needs, and then transfer to Ps2 HDD also needs time.

You really did a great Job.

So with RC6 can we conclude following?

- Ogg needs to be 48kHz
- Image Size needs to be 320 x 240 (but hey, isn't NTSC 320 x 200??)
- Changing of Settings works!
- BG Movies still not work

I will forward your Feedback and Impressions to Uncle Dev'ey,
so it's his Decision whether to release this as Final, or still consider it as Beta.

In my Opinion, at least, it could be a good "Public Beta" Release, if not final

So stay tuned,
RGDS
Alex

Don't forget that ISOs with only simfiles work fine IF its in a DVD ISO (use a dummy file if its too small).

Also, another thing I just noticed is the save seems to have a StepMania.ini of its own. The majority of the settings I changed didn't work when I loaded my save. But, everything worked fine yesterday when I didn't load it. If this is true, its encrypted. I've looked at all of the files in the save before, and none looked like a StepMania.ini.

Although, the GlobalOffset thing seems to have worked perfectly, since all of the DDR songs are still on sync (even though I didn't change the syncing of any of them).

I also will warn to everyone who attempts this that all songs that are on sync on the computer will be off. The timing offset needs to be changed by +0.04 to be on. If you are doing an ISO with only simfiles, an easy way to fix this is to just go into the Static.ini, remove the # in #GlobalOffset=, and change it to 0.04000.

hi mates,

a good and a "bad" message:

the bad one: no public beta as of NOW.
the good one: a public beta is aimed for very soon.

No ETA, as nobody wants to get flamed for missing an ETA for one or two days.

soon...

did you insert the same movie twice?

e.g.
in a screenfile (in /RandomMovies/2.mpg)
in a datafile (in /RandomMovies/2.mpg)

if yes, please try:

in a screenfile (in /RandomMovies/2.mpg)
in a datafile (in /RandomMovies/3.mpg)

maybe ITG gets confused with double entries?

I am currently working out an easier and legal method of adding PCK files to an existing .iso file...

stay tuned,
and please behave...be patient!

thanks
alex

Wondering if there was any update on this, seeing as it was pretty close to being finished.

Also, any idea if custom Marathons are a possibility in the future?
