  1. -= Toxic Dual Layer Image Patcher v1.0 =-

    Introduction

    ============

    As many of you are probably aware, the PS2 has problems running DVD9 games

    backed up onto dual layer media due to to problems reading from the second

    layer. This is because the data format on burnt DL discs is different than on

    pressed discs (burnt = OTP, pressed = PTP). However, we have discovered a

    software hack which allows the PS2 to read even burnt OTP discs resulting in

    working dual layer backups! Our Toxic firmware for DMS4 chips already includes

    auto-patching functionality which applies our software hack on the fly when

    booting games on dual layer media. For those without a DMS4, we present the

    Toxic Dual Layer Image Patcher! The patcher works by applying our software

    hack to the game image (.iso, .gi etc) before burning. Once the hack has

    been applied by our patcher, burn the modified image to dual layer media

    and play! This method will enable anybody with a modchip capable of booting

    DVD9 media to backup and _play_ DVD9 games such as Gran Turismo 4.

    Usage Instructions

    ==================

    1) Obtain an image of the DVD9 game. Supported image file formats are:

    .ISO, .GI, .MDS

    2) Execute the Toxic patcher application.

    3) Click on the open button (labelled "...&quot and select the image file

    you wish to patch.

    4) Click on the "Go" button to begin the patching process.

    5) The status of the patching process will be displayed in the status

    area. This will tell you if the patching was successful or not.

    6) If patching was successful, burn the patched image to dual layer media

    using your favorite burning application.

    Notes

    =====

    1) If you get the RSOD (Red Screen Of Death) while attempting to boot your

    DVD DL backup game, this is due to an authentication error. This can

    happen when the "book type" of your backup is set to "DVD+R DL" and not

    "DVD-ROM". Most burners will automatically set the book type of your

    burnt disc to DVD-ROM, however if your burner does not do this you should

    be able to manually modify the book type using burning software such as

    DVD Decryptor. To verify that the book type of your burnt disc is set to

    DVD-ROM, start DVD Decryptor, insert your backup disc and in the info

    window find "Physical Format Information (Last Recorded):". A few lines

    down should be the text "Book Type: DVD-ROM".

    2) If your PS2 has problems reading from your DL backup (ie: movies are

    choppy or the game even locks up at points) then this is probably due to

    bad quality media or a bad burn. Make sure that you use decent quality

    media and you burn at the SLOWEST possible speed. We have had best

    results with Mitsubish and Verbatim DL media.

    All code by Team Toxic - continuing our line of innovations for the PS2 scene!

    Greets go out to all of our supporters, you guys make this worthwhile A big

    "++++ you" to all the lamers who accuse us of stealing (still with no proof )

    but then go ahead and blatantly steal from us anyway. Lets ask ourselves now,

    who is actually innovating and who is just ripping off others achievements?
