WOOHOO!!!! DVD9 Patcher finally released!!!

[Jesterrace]

Yup, for those of us who want to back up DVD9 games and don't have the DMS4 or Matrix, there has finally been a patch released for the DVD9 games. This patches the games themselves thereby eliminating the need for bios upgrade to the chip.

[Jesterrace]

I can confirm that this patch does indeed work. Here is the process I followed.

1: Rip original disc in ISO mode with DVD Decrypter.

2. Patch file with Toxic Patch

3. Burn to D/L DVD+R in ISO mode with DVD Decrypter and the booktype was set to DVD-ROM.

Here is the equipment I used:

Pioneer 109 with V1.40 firmware (auto sets the booktype on D/L DVD+R to DVD-ROM)
Verbatim 2.4x D/L DVD+R, burned at 6x. Yup, this sucker works like a charm even when burned at 6x.

[CRossa]

any1 got this to work with matrix infinity firmware 1.4beta? tried MGS2 substance n got a matrix logo on boot up instead of the playstation 1 but no game : (

thanks

:bawling: But thanks for doing it for me thus saving the money, lol.

[Jesterrace]

Hi jester , what version of DVD Decrypter are u using ?

thanks

3.5.4. What media are you folks using? People with chips other than the DMS3 seem to be having problems with it at this point, but then again most of them keep using Ritek dye D/L discs and not Verbatim (Mitsubishi Chemicals dye) discs. Ritek D/L discs have track records that are far from impressive.

if you have verbatim dl then try it.it seems to be riteks that have problems.

[REDBULL]

Theres a thread on anther forum which i followed and mine now works


first extract the disc with dvd decrptor
then patch the mds file

then use dvd decrpytor and select the mds file and not the iso as it gives the correct dual layer info

then once burnt check the layer info is same as original
first off nero gave me a total diferent layer info so i followed the guide and the layer info was spot on same as original and works fine

the nero version did work but crashed once passed pressing start

hope this helps

ps im using verbs

this correct info using dvd decrytor

and u also need to make sure its dvd-rom

[Jesterrace]

Yup, I was going to mention that. It really is critical that you verify that the booktype has been set to DVD-ROM. Some burners (ie Pioneer 109) will automatically do this for you so you don't have to adjust anything, but make absolutely certain that the booktype is being set to DVD-ROM before you burn. I used DVDinfopro to verify that my booktype had been autoset to DVD-ROM after I had burned it. www.dvdinfopro.com. For those of you who have already burned discs that aren't working, could you use that program to verify what the booktype was and post it back here?

[Jesterrace]

Oh yeah, and quit supporting the crooks at E-net, will ya. ;)

[lhys09915]

how do i patch the mds file?

[REDBULL]

With the patch program , when u make a iso with dvd decryptor its makes 2 files

*.*.iso
*.*.mds

[Jesterrace]

You shouldn't need to. I delete the MDS file and just patch the regular ISO.

[REDBULL]

would be nice to know what chips it works

should it work with messiah 2 and satin ps2?need to know before i order 5 verbs

Truth be told, I have no idea. Some people claim it won't but they haven't tested anything beyond Ritek dye discs, so we can't say for sure.

[lhys09915]

my verbs will be here tommorrow so i will soon find out.

HERES a little more info from anther site , nothing to do with me

Dual Layer (The little Bible)
Well,

Here you have the method to create a correct copy 1:1 from you original PS2 Dual Layer Game

PTP & PS2

PTP are the abbreviations of "Parallel Track Path". This method is supported in the news game librarys for DL disc.

The disc can be treaty how an only disc of double layer (ISO information only in layer 0) or the disc can have double ISO filesystem (in both layers). In this last mode, you can see the disc similar to a double side disc.

From the PS2 console, the developers have two functions: one to know if the disc is dual layer and the LBA from the layer 1 starts and other function
to search a file in layer 0 or layer 1 (you must to specify the layer).

The first function can be used to do a dvd check or to handle a LBAS table to access to the differents files in layer 1. For this reason, it is necessary
create a exact copy (1:1) from you original disc that it respects the layer information.

Some of the competitors of O2 announce support DVD9 when in fact, they have done a patch for the GT4 game only.

I prefer not to deceive to the O2 users: I have made a real patch thinking to support this and others games! So if have done a bad backup, it cannot work under O2 patch, but if you have done a good backup (with the real layer information) it work perfectly. The other solution is to create a patch only for GT4... well if you want to create this patch, you can start now, but i must think in a generic patch and it is not possible to do without a exact copy 1:1. OK?

OTP and PTP differences

OTP are the abbreviations of "Opposite Track Path". This method is used in DVD Video and for you backup under DVD+R DL. The difference betwen PTP and OTP is: in PTP the layers starts from the center of the disc and finish at the border of the disc. In OTP, the first layer start from the center of the disc and finish at the border of the disc, but the second layer is read of opposite form (border to center). So the real change for the software is the layer 1.

(extracted from DVD DECRYPTER)

Here you have the information about original GT4 game. To create a good backup, it is neccesary the coincidence of the two last lines between your backup and this original. But in addition, a compatibility problem exists.I have done some test with the aid of a friend: if you backup have DVD+R DL as booktype, it work in V4 to V7 and V11 models (V11 is a 'rare' case). In V9, V10 and PSTWO is necessary DVD-ROM book type (or you dvd backup is rejected by the DVD controller and you can can see a precious red screen

Some models of DVD DL burners put DVD-ROM book type by deffault (surely in new models). But other models need to change the book type manually.

Making the Backup

To create the backup, you need the software DVD DECRYPTER. Only with this software, you can be sure the backup work. The reason is: DVD DECRYPTER use a extra file (MDS file) to know how the info must be writed in the differents layers. With other software, you can burn the info but it can have different layer information (so a sector in layer 1 in the original, can be in layer 0 in the copy

Reading the original disc.

1) Starts DVD DECRYPTER application. put GT4 game in the DVD burner.
2) Select in the menu Mode->ISO->Read
3) Select the source (you DVD Burner)
4) Select the destination file
5) Click in the ICON decrypt to start

When the operation finish, you have two files: ISO file and MDS file

Writing the DVD+R DL copy

1) Select in the menu Mode->ISO Write
2) Select the file MDS as source
3) Select in the menu Tools->Drive->Change Book Type. Select your appropriate driver and change the book type to DVD-ROM
if you driver is not supported it is possible put DVD-ROM by deffault.
4) Click in the icon to write (if you have a DVD+R DL of course!

This is the information readed from the backup:

As you can see, in the Physical information last recorded, the booktype is DVD-ROM. With this information the backup works in alls PS2
The layer information is the same, so my patch can work correctly


About 1.61: the betatesters have the patch. i hope to release this patch in short time. This patch is not thinking in HDL support. For this support you have a patch from the ps2 scene, the right way to patch only a game.

The new patch can be considerer as one beta: to test this new support and the surprise (i hope you wild be happy with this new feature

Please, to do the backup use this method: if you use other and the disc don't work, you are the responsible

info looks fine must be the chip :(

[davidjones90]

Could someone explain what Toxix Patcher does? IS it only used for DVD9(dual layer) or both dual and single layers, reason is I have seen people saying, "Patch it with Toxix Patcher" so am slightly confused.

Cheers.

[Jesterrace]

Just for D/L games. Anyways, people with the ripper gold chips (1+2) have gotten this to work. I just threw that in for those who asked. ;) I even know of a guy at ps2newz who got this to work on his old Magic 3.1. He said he needed to recalibrate his laser though.

[Acheron]

So has anyone gotten this to work with the Messiah 2 Pro (v1.33B or 1.34B it is I think) chip at this point? I know this is old news but it is only now that I can get +R DL for less than $3/ea. ;)

While I'm here, got another question also ... should I ever need to make a backup of the patched backup, will a straight copy still do the trick?

[lhys09915]

:bigthump: why not just rip it to dvd5?works perfect.use the tools and rip kit from this site.
you need to do this with an unpatched iso.

I really hate rips of any kind but if it's the only option ...

Works a lot better

all it rips are the track vidoes in arcade mode.

if you use pssdown you dont loose any video files.
