need help creating fake TOC

hi everyone,

i got a little problem. me and some riends of mine are hughe pro evolution soccer and winning eleven fans. so we got all the games since the first version on the old psx.

since a couple of years i am modding the games (with original kits, balls, stadiums, shoes and so on).

i am the only one who uses a hdd. now i want to make a new patched version for 2 of my friends (all of us own the original game !!).

winning eleven 10 has got a fake toc. when i make an iso of the original disc the image is about 4.4 GB - after extracting the image the files have a size about 1.8 GB.

this is good for me, since the shrinked iso doesn't waste too much hdd space.

now i modded the game and want to burn it onto dvd-r'S for 2 of my friends. for that i want to put a fake toc onto the iso / disc so that the data of the game will be written on the outer side of the dvd - i've read that this is better for the laser to read the info.

is it possible to create such a fake toc? how does it work and which programm do i need ??

thx in advance

regards

You probably don't need to worry about a fake TOC. Instead, just put about 2.5 gigs of dummy files before the real data files when you build the disc. That should accomplish the same thing.

The only catch I can think of is that I've had problems running shrunken games after burning them to DVD. Some of them just don't boot. In that case, you may need to recreate the TOC (but I won't be much help with that).

let me try to clear some things up re: the infamous 'fake toc'

first off... it's not 'fake'. the TOC contains valid data with pointers to the files at higher LBA. so instead of the first files starting somewhere in the 270+ LBA range, they start at around the 500,000+ LBA range. so stop calling it 'fake' ;)

2nd, to have your files situated at specific LBA, you need to either be using CDVDGen or CDGen and fix the file's LBA in those apps. or if that's too much work for you, do a google search for 'dummy file creator' or something similar. these will build files of a specified size that you can drop on to your CDVDGen or CDGen project first to automatically push up the next available LBA.

that's all you need to do. good luck.

okay i got that.

i want to fix the file LBA. could u shortly eplain how i should do this.

here i got 2 pics of the lba table of my we10 files (CDDVDGEN 1.50)

right click on your first file and choose 'Location'. then enter the lba you want that file to sit. all files after it will be adjusted accordingly.
