PS2 DVD9 Layer1 file tutorial (part 2)
Once it finds the first occurrence you should see CD001..PLAYSTATION in the right hand margin, so use your left arrow on the keyboard to back-up 1 place (NOT the Backspace key) and NOTE the offset now at the bottom of the screen (in this case it’s Offset: 8E8E0000):
Move your mouse cursor over to corresponding gray box on the left-hand side of the screen as shown in the above picture and you’ll see the 0 in 01 is in the gray box. Right-click on this gray box, and select Beginning of block and then (once marked) scroll down to the end of the .iSO image and right-click on the last character there (in this case it’s 0) and select end of block. You should now see the whole section highlighted, and so go to the EDIT tab and select Copy Block then Into New File as shown here:
Now select where you want to save it on your HDD... this is layer1 you are saving of the DVD9 disc as layer0 is viewable using Windows Explorer because it’s listed normally in the game’s T.O.C. file. Sit back and wait for it to copy block and save on your HDD in your selected location... visit www.ps2ownz.com or IRC Efnet #PS2OWNZ.COM while you’re waiting if you’d like!
VIEWING LAYER1 (HIDDEN FILES) OF YOUR DVD9 .ISO
To view and extract the layer1 (hidden files) from your DVD9 .iSO simply open up iSOBuster again and select your saved layer1 file (if it’s a .dat extension file simply rename it to gamename.iso before opening) by going to the FILE tab and clicking Open Image File as shown below. Lastly, to extract the files just right-click on them and choose Extract and you’re ready to start rebuilding your DVD9Rip!
In closing, I already know MANY sites and forums whom are going to add this excellent tutorial as their own out of spite or to get revenge on www.ps2ownz.com, but those who TRULY know our philosophy it’s “share first” and leave the credits to those with nothing else going for them in life.
Our web site was the first to publicly unveil DVD checks with Go-Kun’s famous tutorial, we’ve been the ONLY source of PS2 SDK stuff via our IRC channels, we invented the PS2 Flip-Top Cover, and now we’re the first once again to teach the WORLD how to do DVD9Rips! Others can diss us out of jealousy, but these are just a few reasons why we still have 100,000 hits a day on our server and over 200,000 unique visitors every month!
LOTS more to come... how about 2.7 LIBS/TOOLS next so everyone has a complete SDK set to work on DVD9Rips with ;-)
