Hi All,
I'm not a frequent poster, sorry...I tend to rely on the Search instead:-) Just adding my 2 cents worth.
For those with DVD burners (purchased one just for this project) and NTSC version, you can get the new tracks to work. Writing to DVD is simpler, albeit more expensive, as no trimming of GT4.VOL is necessary...simple substitution of desired hacked tracks into 5 existing ones will work.
Un gros merci à Tailleur de Zon (et Le coyote?). C'est super!
I wrote a mini guide, as seen below. I would gladly help anyone if they are having trouble.
MINIGUIDE - HACKING NEW TRACKS TO DVD+R
0. THINGS I AM USING (AND THAT YOU MAY NEED)
Original GT4P (NTSC) disc - Asian version
DVD writer and DVD+R
Nero
From "tailleur de zon" ripkit (
http://gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=47473), you only need:
- Applyppf.exe
- Patch1.ppf
- Patch2.ppf
- Extact.exe
- Rebuild.exe
- Hacked tracks
Isobuster
Sony CD_DVD-ROM Generator 1.5
Sony CD_DVD-ROM Recording Unit Controller 1.50
Swap Magic Disc
1. EXTRACTING ORIGINAL
- copy all files from Original GT4P (NTSC) disc to PC into a project directory
2. PATCHING
- copy applyppf.exe , patch1.ppf, patch2.ppf into project directory
From command window (i.e. for win2k Start/Run, cmd [Enter])
- "attrib -r *.*" (to remove read-only attribute for all files)
- "applyppf a SCAJ_200.66 patch1.ppf"
- "applyppf a IOPRP280.IMG patch2.ppf"
3. HACKING TRACKS
- copy extract.exe, rebuild.exe into project directory
- From command window "extract GT4.VOL" ....wait....
Tracks are in folder "crs"
ORIGINALS
1. tsukuba (4164) (non-rally)
2. newyork (4589) (non-rally)
3. grandcanyon (5070) (rally)
4. fisco (4233) (non-rally)
5. assisi (5614) (rally)
- replace and rename hack tracks to appropriate original tracks
...ensure replacement is smaller than original
(not sure this is true in all case...e.g. BMW New York into orig New york)
...I believe rally tracks should only replace original rally tracks, mixing does not seem to work
- From command window "rebuild GT4.VOL" ....wait....
- delete GT4.VOL from project directory
- rename gt3_new.vol GT4.VOL
4. Using Isobuster, get LBA for all files of Original GT4P (NTSC) disc...save this to a text file for future reference
- here are the results, so no need to repeat
0000287 SYSTEM.CNF
0000288 SCAJ_200.66
0000422 CORE.GT4
0000984 IOPRP280.IMG
0001116 SIO2MAN.IRX
0001120 SIO2D.IRX
0001126 DBCMAN.IRX
0001134 MTAPMAN.IRX
0001140 PADMAN.IRX
0001162 DS2U_D.IRX
0001168 MCMAN.IRX
0001215 MCSERV.IRX
0001219 LIBSD.IRX
0001233 USBD.IRX
0001251 LIBPDI.IRX
0001259 PDICDVD.IRX
0001264 PDISPU2.IRX
0001274 PDISTR.IRX
0001283 PDIUSB.IRX
0001296 LGDEV.IRX
0001320 GT4.VOL
5. Using CDVDGEN
- View/Volume: set Disc Name to SCED - 00032, set Volume to GRANTURISMO4
- View/Directory: drag and drop all files (as per list in step 4.) from project directory into window
- View/Layout: re-order according to step 4 results (simple drag and drop for order, ensure LBA is OK)
- Option/Preference: set Disc ID to "disable"
- File/Export IML: export gt4 to project directory (gt4.iml and gt4.ims created)
- you may wish to save the project for future use (gt4.ccz file)
6. Using Sony CD_DVD-ROM Recording Unit Controller 1.50
- ignore errors upon opening...this is Sony stuff
- File/Open "gt4.iml"
- File/Export "gt4.lst"....wait....should create gt4.000 and gt4.001, which need to be merged
7. Merge files into 1 iso
- From command window "copy /b gt4.00* gt4.iso"....wait....
8. Using Nero, burn image, gt4.iso to DVD+R
9. Try it out...works with Swap Magic Disc (v2) for me.
