Help with converting Road Trip Cd game to dvd

[KimmiHei]

I've tried many diffrent methods in converting it to dvd but the outcome is always the same on pcxs2 and esr, a black screen!

Has anyone been successful at converting this game?

Another thing, the original iso works on pcxs2 but when I make a copy of the extracted files, with nothing done to them, I mak it back into an iso, load it and all I get is a black screen

Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Have you read the guide that is written here?

But I never converted any game!

When you put back files in your ISO are you using a MODE2/2352 format?

You can keep the LBAs the same, while really converting it (you only need to do a real convertion and not simply extract the files and re-create an image).

1. Create an ISO of your disc.
2. Start UltraISO and 'tick' UDF.
3. UltraISO should rebuild ISO then with the same LBAs.

Actually, there's one more real problem: Games that call sceCdMMode() to specify their target media type will malfunction when you put the game on a different media type.

The malfunction was intentional.
The only way to get those games to run is to modify the call to sceCdMMode().

Umm... Doesn't this mode in ESR fix that:

Spoof Media Type - always returns "PS2CD" media type to the EE side. It is just a direct followup of automatic media mode patching seen in earlier ESR revisions. With this option, most cd converted games will not need anything else (no patches, etc.) - this doesn't apply to games that are incompatible due to bad conversion (static LBA tables or other protections).

Or did I not understand your answer(you speak in really specific terms man) or maybe i misinterpreted the actual use of the function (never used it)

I'm talking about something else: The CDVDMAN CD/DVD hardware driver of the PS2 that runs on the I/O Processor.

sceCdMMode() takes in a value that represents the target media type.
CDVDMAN will check the media, and if the MECHACON doesn't return a media type of a compatible type, CDVDMAN will fail all function calls.

I guess that that function of ESR just returns PS2CD for calls to sceCdGetDiskType() from the EE, to trick games that will not run if sceCdGetDiskType() returns something else.

But I don't think that it can trick CDVDMAN though, since CDVDMAN communicates directly with the CD/DVD hardware.
Games that don't call sceCdMMode() should run fine... and quite a few games don't call it.

The mode in ESR is so you don't have to patch your images with DVDscan
