humm Have you tried opening the unpatched iso?? (the japanese ISO... I presume it is a jap game..) |

I guess you should try to talk with the FTP owner or guy from who you have downloaded it... and ask him if he knows something about it... |

Interesting... I divided the size of your ISO (in bytes) by 2352, and it comes out as exactly 186619 and 2/3 sectors (or 186619.666666666...) So, if the block size really is 2352 (a division by 2048 just gives a very random result after the decimal point), there's either 784 bytes too few, or 1568 bytes too many. So, the solution as I envision it comes in two steps: 1. Chop off 1568 bytes from or append 784 bytes to the file. (You could use a file splitter/joiner, and maybe create a Notepad file and make it out to be 748 bytes - just type some stuff into it, save it out and use it and the ISO to create one merged file.) 2. Load it into ISOBuster/CDmage/what-have-you and test all the files in the ISO to make sure it's actually complete, and that those files with the highest block numbers are still complete and readable. 3. Burn that sucker to CD and thank Taelon in a prayer. |

Wow, that's wild. MasterAkumaMatata's post wasn't even there until I had written mine. |

I decided to just try my luck with another file. So far I just bruned the new iso with no problems but have yet to test it. On the funny side. I downloaded gradius deluxe pack and Im having the same problem with sector size..heh. 263,381kb 269,701,168 oh well whatever |
