Karaoke Revolution Vol1 JP not working...

[vairu]

I got this game as a .bin file which HDl_dumb or winHIIP doesn't detect, so i extracted it and used winISO to make an ISO of the files, then copied to HDD, now the HDD will try to boot the game and just go to a black screen. Is there any special way i have to make the iso, or? also ArmoredCore Formula Front JP is doing the same thing, but i got that one in an .iso file didn't have to convert it

i couldnt get any of my us karaoke revs to work on the hd.. not sure if the jp ones are the same.

sucks, i have 4 JP DDR games on the HDD that work i'll try some diff volumes then

compatibility list shows the "Karaoke revolution Jpop Best vol. 1,2, and 4" working with mode 3 enabled.

not sure if this is what you have, though.

cheers,

i tried Vol1 i tried to enable mode 3 with HDL! No load tho. The file i got was 350mb~ but it was .bin After i extracted it and made an ISO with all the files, it was only 299mb~. Does this seem wierd? Is there any special way i'm supposed to make the ISO before sending to PS2 HDD

No, its normal.

BIN files are 2352 bytes per sector and ISO files are generally 2048 bytes per sector hence the larger filesize of BIN files.

poop . Is there any thing else i have to do to the .iso tho, like i've seen some patchers for some games to convert them from PAL or something, will i have to do that?

Japanese games use NTSC like USA games do (well, NTSC-J or whatever, I guess..), so that shouldn't be an issue, like your japanese DDR games. And I don't believe WinISO will create proper PS2 images, you should use CDVDGEN to do so; that might be the issue here.
