Esr patching problem pes2011

[jdrossos]

Hi. I have made an iso file from my original pes2011 game, using imgburn. Then i pached it, with esr patcher and it says ok. and then i use again imgburn to burn it. But here is my problem. The burned dvd, has not burned as a pached iso, like a video dvd, but it is burned as a game, as it was before pached!!!! why?

I don't quite understand what you mean. Have you tried playing the patched game using ESR? What happens?

How do you know this to be the fact ?

In fact a proper ESR disc is not like a video DVD, except in one of its two filesystems, the UDF filesystem.
The ISO9660 file system always remains in its original state, unaffected by the patching.
This is sufficient to fool the PS2 mechacon into accepting the disc as DVD Video, and thus allow it to be read.
That is because the mechacon only checks the UDF filesystem in identifying a DVD Video disc.

But other tools such as the ESR device driver can still access the ISO9660 file system to see the original game files.
And that is also possible for some PC tools, though they vary in showing either the UDF or the ISO9660 content.

Very few programs are able to display the full nature of an ESR-patched disc.
One of those programs is "IsoBuster", which is able to show the differing content of both the UDF and the ISO9660 file systems.
Most other programs are only able to show one or the other of these, but not both of them.

I hope this clarifies things for you.
