Esr Disc Patcher Ps2 Mac
Vennie Fireman
Yeah, I get that people might not wanna modify them and if they wanna go tnhis route then more power to them, just seems to me like the same amount of effort to convert iso's to folders as to set this up while taking away the extra functionality.
I think, the XISO's will take less space in the long run than extracting the files/folders from them. Any file less than the cluster size will take a full cluster to store on the HDD - 32KB or 64KB for large extended partitions.
(Update: Long filenames are not problem as a DVD disc image is mounted that doesn't have the FATX filename length limitation. The mounted image looks like a DVD disc is loaded. Also for games larger than 4GB's in size, the max size of a single file allowed in FATX, the ripper splits the image into multiple files
You'll need the NKPatcher driveimageutils-v1.0.1 archive which contains an attach and detach XBE as well as an Xbox XISORipper app to create the XISO images from original discs. It rips the disc image and includes the default.xbe (attach app with the game's name set as it's XBE Title).
As most modchip BIOS's are set to boot evoxdash.xbe as the first xbe in the boot order, name the XISO patcher - evoxdash.xbe - and rename your current default dashboard that's already named evoxdash.xbe to evox.xbe.
You either use the ripper to create the XISO image and it adds the attach app into the game's name rip subfolder in your Games folder on F (or G if you edit the ripper's config file) for the game's XISO (dot iso file) or add the default.xbe attach app if you already have the ISO in a subfolder. However, if you do it this way, you'll need to edit the attacher's, default.xbe, XBE Title to see the game name in the menu. (Use XBMC or UnleashX's File manager to change the XBE Title.)
if you use XBMC4Gamers you can use the XISO to HDD script to parse and process your XISO files into folders and it will also populate the attach.xbe with the correct certificate information of the game so trainers and save managers work properly.
it uses my dashloader so any patch my softmod loads this loads also, you can create a dashloader.cfg file and put a custom path to a dashboard of your choice in there to boot that first and you can also populate the dashloader.rec file with a path to a recovery dashboard if you want to use the start+y feature of dashloader. (This is handy as a backdoor incase you arse up your dashboard and it loops)
Thanks Rocky, I do use 4gamers so once I get my iso games transferred across I will run the script. No softmod tho.. x3 chip for me but I can use that to boot M8plus when I want to play an iso ??
There are a handful of games that will fail loading from hdd over time - most noteworthy are Toca race driver 3, The Warrirors, Harry potter prison of Azkaban and some Tony Hawk games. I want to be able to load them from hdd - and it seems the only option is to use the ISO load method.
No joy for me either, i dont know if its becasue im running a modchip or not, but i have booted into evoxM8+ bios, which boots to a shortcut xbe which loads XBMC4Gamers. I have run the script on my test iso and it has done its stuff as there is an xbe, tbn etc alongside the iso but when launching the game it just reboots to dash after a black screen.
Update: I'm not sure you can have an xbe in the boot list stored in a subfolder on the C drive as shown above. I always have the patcher in the root of the C drive but call it evoxdash.xbe as it's the stock M8plus and most other BIOSes first entry they try to start when booting.
Colin: In the past, translations have always required digital copies of the game which are illegal in most places. The Wii has a very lively homebrew community, and lots of options for expansion in this regard. Homebrew is often misused by pirates, but I really wanted to show that it could also be used for good, and let those people who had actually purchased the game play it with all the bells and whistles they never had access to before.
Aaron: Riivolution, an idea from ages ago, was designed specifically for use with retail discs. It was created because the only way to accomplish game modifications and translations previously was to use questionable methods that are downright annoying, complicated, and time consuming to use. I wanted to create something that just worked.
Aaron: Hah, I think that's a bit excessive. Requiring some game-based hack to install the patch (who remembers good old Twilight Princess?) or optionally the Homebrew Channel wouldn't be nearly as bad as the alternative, which is essentially only making it available for systems already modified to play "backups." However, the accessibility of this translation has really contributed to the success of the project; I think it's fantastic that such a large number of casual gamers who are not the type to normally "mod" their Wiis are able to enjoy this game in English.
Aaron: Lots and lots of love. The first time it's run, Riivolution installs a patched version of the Wii's operating system on the internal memory in a safe, brick-free manner. The patches specifically target the Wii's drivers for the DVD drive, which gives us full control over what a game, when launched under this patched OS, thinks is on the disc. The Riivolution loader itself looks for special option files on the SD card in order to present the user with some choices for what it should replace - this allows you to pick what mods you feel like playing between sessions without needing to change any files on the SD card. Very useful for example if you feel like playing as Cloud Strife in Smash Bros. Brawl one day, and then Roy the next. It's all very convenient to use, and installing new hacks is as simple as plopping a few new files onto your SD card.
Colin: There is always another way. But likely, if the exploit had not existed it would've been run exclusively through The Homebrew Channel, if we would've even bothered at all to make this for retail discs. Bannerbomb was one of the inspirations behind the accessibility of this project, and many thanks to comex for his efforts.
Aaron: Riivolution was conceived a long time before bannerbomb was ever created, so while it's not essential, it's a huge boost to accessibility for a project like this. However, before I met Colin, it had been an abandoned project; if not for bannerbomb, he may not have been searching for a way to patch the game on the fly, we never would have met up like we did, and it would still be sitting on that digital shelf collecting dust. Either way, bannerbomb has definitely made a monumental contribution to the success of the translation project as a whole.
Colin: There will always be issues with Nintendo's firmware upgrades. Luckily, an active community means active fixes. Also luckily, Nintendo's demographic caters largely towards casual gamers who have no particular need or desire to pirate, which means their motivation to block homebrew intentionally isn't that great.
NWR: Will Riivolution be available for other games? Have the developers collaborated with those developing mods for Super Smash Bros. Brawl or New Super Mario Bros. Wii? What are your future plans for Riivolution?
Colin: The version of Riivolution released with Zero4 is a test release limited to the game. Our development releases can modify most existing games, including such titles as Super Smash Bros. Brawl, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Rockband, and more. It was mine and Aaron's intention from the start to make this solution portable for any game on any unmodified or modified system. If the success of Fatal Frame 4's sales are any indication, pirated copies of those games who make extensive use of this system should decrease, and sales should go up as well. It's a solution that makes everyone happy. End users get free, community created DLC, and companies get increased revenues.
Aaron: As a matter of fact, it was initially started as a way to play your own songs on Guitar Hero 3 on the Wii. In the recent months, the testing of Riivolution on my Wii has been almost exclusive to modifying those exact two titles you mentioned, as well as Rock Band 2 and a few other games. The translation release has worked as a sort of public beta test for Riivolution's core, which seems to have been quite successful thus far; soon there will be a public release that will allow anyone to modify any Wii game in whatever way they please.
This opens the doors to convenient game modifications including fun things like custom levels and textures, as well as full translations. The only limits are imposed by whatever the original game is capable of.
I have the Island Paradise disc inserted. The disc is in mint condition and my computer reads other discs just fine so it has to be an issue with the game. If I try to run it through the launcher it says disc authentication failed/insert disc. If I bypass the launcher, it stops me at the select/create save game screen saying "No game disc found! Please insert The Sims 3 ISLAND PARADISE game disc to continue." No matter how many times I click retry it never senses the disc. I've purchased so much content for this game and it's completely unplayable.
@Ariezona117 If the game is asking for a disc then you have not redeemed your game in Origin. The DRM of SecuROM and SafeDisc is no longer supported by Windows and OS X. Your game would continue to play until you install new DLC or reinstall the game. You need to upgrade the game to Origin. Origin has been the DRM for this game since 2012. Get the base game to version 1.67 with the manual super patch - link - Sims 3 version 1.67 super patch and Origin will then patch the game to version 1.69. There is no manual 1.69 patch - it has to be done in Origin. Once the version 1.69 patch is complete the you will no longer have an install limit and you not require a disc to play.
