It took me forever to figure out a couple of these variations when I was rebuilding the Twisted Metal: Harbor City prototype, considering information technology seems similar some of this noesis has been lost to time, at least as far as the cyberspace is concerned, so I wanted to become it all together in one place. Information technology's probably old hat for most of the long-time scene members, simply hopefully is useful to newer members.

It's pretty easy to build an ISO that will piece of work in an emulator like PCSX2. It'southward a little harder to build one that volition work 100% on a PS3 DEX. Building an actual "chief disc" image that volition kicking on a existent, unmodified PS2 debug station can be a bit tricky.

Corrections and additions appreciated.

There are three valid types of PS2 master disc that I know of:

1. DVD-ROM (ISO + UDF)
2. DVD-ROM (ISO filesystem)
iii. CD-ROM (ISO filesystem)

This guide provides several methods for making the first and third types, but not the second (yet?).

Why would someone want to do this?

If someone wants to make a customized (or completely homebrew) PlayStation 2 ISO or physical disc, this is how they would get near doing it.

Why are all these steps this necessary?

TLDR: the PlayStation ii (like the PlayStation) is very strict/inflexible nigh the structure/layout of a disc, also as the size of the lists of files and folders on the disc. If you make a valid PS2 disc, your PC should take no trouble reading it. However, the converse is not true: it is very easy to make DVDs and CDs that a PC will read just fine, only which will cause bizarre failures to occur when read on a PS2. PS2 emulators are generally more forgiving than real hardware in this respect, but it is nonetheless truthful to some extent (see the discussion of ISO + UDF beneath). Post-obit the instructions in this guide should give you discs that are compatible with existent PS2 hardware, although of grade y'all'll need a mod-chipped PS2 or a PS2 Test or TOOL to read DVD-Rs and CD-Rs.

Tools

You can grab nigh of the tools (except IsoBuster and Nero) mentioned in this guide from: https://mega.nz/#!TzhihCjJ!5JCb_DNUklakDtO1t99ZOY0AI_XWXKUiI2BfZhmvjow

I collected them in one place considering some of them were very hard to detect in 2019.

* CDVDGEN two.0 (official Sony disc-mastering tool) (1.5 is also included in case it'due south useful)
* CDVD2IML 5.xxx (uses IML files from CDVDGEN to build ISOs)
* this isn't used in these tutorials currently, but some other guides refer to it, and it was hard to find
* CDGenPS2 3.0 (unofficial clone of CDVDGEN)
* DiscPatcher 3 (unofficial tool by Loser for patching regular PS2 ISOs to look similar master discs)
* ImgBurn 2.5.eight.0 (free software for authoring and burning disc images)
* wnaspi32.dll (needed by CDVDGEN later on installation - put it in C:\Windows\System32 and run regsvr32 wnasp32.dll)
* 20,971,520 and 52,428,800-byte dummy files (so I can go out out instructions for making one) (I unremarkably use the larger file)
* Custom scripts I wrote:
* cdvdgenbin2normalbin.py - Converts a CDVDGEN .000 binary CD-ROM epitome into bin/cue format
* fiximgburnmode2bin.py - this doesn't work, simply I've provided it for reference

On dummy files versus setting the LBA of the first file versus doing nothing at all

PS2 discs are supposedly less likely to piece of work if the first file on a disc that's actually used (unremarkably Arrangement.CNF) has also depression of an LBA. There are exceptions to this rule, like Unreal Tournament, but some people swear past putting some padding earlier that first used file. There are ii ways of doing this: adding a dummy/padding file to the disc layout earlier anything else, or (in tools that support it, like CDGenPS2) manually setting the LBA of that showtime file to a college value. Both techniques tin work, as long every bit the authoring tool supports it. I'll note where to include this step if you lot want to. I more often than not don't for CD images, but either a dummy file or increasing the LBA of Organization.CNF seem to exist required for some (maybe all) DVD images.

On "magic" file-ordering

Due to the very strict/quirky fashion that a PS2 interprets filesystem data, it'due south generally recommended that the initial files needed past a game are placed beginning in the layout of the disc. It's possible to build discs that work which don't follow this rule, but it never hurts, and then I recommend doing it just to save yourself some headaches later on. Typically, the Organisation.CNF file should be the first file (after the dummy file, if using 1), and the ELF which is referenced on the BOOT2 line of Arrangement.CNF should be 2d. The ELF is the executable which is named after the release serial on commercial games (SLPS_123.45 for Japanese releases, SLUS_123.45 for North American releases, SLES_123.45 for European commercial releases, etc.). For preproduction/blastoff/beta/etc. discs, the ELF may exist named well-nigh annihilation, but commonly follows the same naming convention.

On "clandestine magic" file-ordering in ImgBurn and Nero

ImgBurn and Nero don't explicitly back up changing the guild/layout of files when creating a disc, but both applications order the disc filesystem by the club in which files (not folders) were added to the project.

For example, if I create a new projection, and add together iii files one-by-one in this order:

one. Z.DAT
2. A.DAT
3. M.DAT

The files will appear in alphabetical society in Nero (unless you've sorted them differently), only will be written to the disc in the same social club they were added to the projection (Z.DAT, A.DAT, M.DAT). This is important due to the "magic" file ordering discussed above, equally well every bit the need for a dummy file (if present) to be the first file in the filesystem.

• #ii

DVD-ROM (ISO + UDF)

This is probably the most common type of PS2 disc for commercial releases, and is the only blazon of DVD which can be generated using CDVDGEN 2.0.

It is unremarkably very easy to make these, simply when making custom discs, there is a take hold of: some very valid-appearing sets of files will crusade filesystem content to be unreadable, and the game will not kick. See the troubleshooting section below for a word if you recollect this is happening to you.

I'yard only documenting two ways to make ISO + UDF discs, considering CDGenPS2 v3.0 cannot make them.

DVD-ROM (ISO + UDF) in CDVDGEN:

CDVDGEN SHOULD ready everything correctly for you, and so you shouldn't need to add a dummy file or alter the LBA of Organization.CNF, but YMMV.

1. From the initial popup, choose "Create new project" and click OK.
2. Cull "DVD-ROM Master Disc" and click OK.
3. Click the Volume button near the top of the window.
4. In "Disc Proper noun", enter the licensing area (e.g. "SLUS", "SLES", etc.) for your release, and then its serial number.
5. In "Volume" and "Volume Fix", enter the complete serial number, e.1000. SLUS_12345.
6. In "Producer Proper name", "Copyright Holder", "Publisher", and "Data Preparer", enter any text you desire in all caps. If y'all're rebuilding a custom version of a game, these should probably match the fields from the original disc in case the game checks them.
7. Make certain the "License Area" option matches the licensing area code you entered, east.m. "America" for "SLUS", "Europe", for "SLES".
8. Click the Directory button nearly the top of the window.
9. If yous want to add a dummy file to the disc, do and so now (before adding anything else).
10. Add the System.CNF file for your image to the disc.
11. If y'all desire to manually increase the LBA of the Organisation.CNF file:
    1. Switch to the Layout tab.
    2. Roll down until yous attain the entry for SYSTEM.CNF.
    3. Right-click on information technology and choose Location.
    4. Enter a new LBA for the file. The recommendation I've commonly seen is 12231.
    5. Switch dorsum to the Directory tab.
12. Add the ELF file for your epitome (SLUS_123.45, etc., whatever you've named it) to the disc.
13. Add any other files that should go in the root folder of your disc to the disc.
14. Add whatever remaining folders to the disc.
15. If your content totals less than 1.4GB, add together a dummy file at the end which brings the total to at least i.4GB. Otherwise, CDVDGEN won't let y'all create a DVD image.
16. Click the "Rec..." button almost the height of the window.
17. Salvage the .iml file somewhere convenient.
18. Click OK in the "The Recording Unit of measurement is non connected" window.
19. Click OK in the "Initialization failed" window.
20. In the File menu, choose "Export image".
21. Save the .lst file somewhere user-friendly.
22. Wait for the process to consummate
23. You should end upwards with at least ii large binary files in the same folder as the .lst file, with extensions .000, .001, etc.
24. Open up a command prompt and use the copy /b command to concatenate all of these files together into a unmarried file with the .iso extension. If your binary files are named MY_PS2_GAME.000, MY_PS2_GAME.001, and MY_PS2_GAME.002, the command would exist:
25. copy /b MY_PS2_GAME.000 + MY_PS2_GAME.001 + MY_PS2_GAME.002 MY_PS2_GAME.ISO
26. Make sure the .bin file boots correctly in your favorite PS2 emulator. If you are rebuilding a customized version of a game that came from a pressed DVD or publisher-issued DVD-R epitome, this volition probably exist totally fine. If you lot get weird errors about missing files, Especially if you are edifice something from scratch, or trying to get content from a dev kit to run from a DVD instead of a difficult drive, AND y'all get this kind of fault, endeavor using an ISO-only filesystem. This is discussed a little more in the Troubleshooting department.

CDVDGEN supports dual-layer disc layouts, simply does not output a coherent dual-layer prototype. I do non know of a way to make dual-layer ISOs using this tool. If you practice, please reply to this thread. You can make a dual-layer image that will work in an emulator using Nero. It will not have the transmission layer configuration that CDVDGEN permits.

DVD-ROM (ISO + UDF) in Nero:

1. Create a new "DVD-ROM (UDF/ISO)" project.
2. Switch to the "Multisession" tab.
3. Make sure "No Multisession" is selected.
4. Switch to the "ISO" tab.
5. Set "File arrangement" to "ISO 9660 only".
6. Fix "File name length (ISO)" to "Max .of eleven = 8 + three chars (Level 1)".
7. Set "Character set (ISO)" to "ISO 9660 (standard ISO CD-ROM).
8. Brand sure none of the "Relax restrictions" options are enabled.
9. Switch to the "Label" tab.
10. In "Disc name", enter the series number for your "release", east.g. SLUS_12345. This should lucifer the proper noun of the main ELF for the game, without the "." most the end.
11. Click the "More Labels" button.
12. In "System identifier" and "Awarding", enter PLAYSTATION.
13. In "Book Set up", enter the serial number for your "release", e.one thousand. SLUS_12345. This should lucifer the proper noun of the main ELF for the game, without the "." nigh the end.
14. In "Publisher" and "Data preparer", enter whatsoever text you lot want in all caps. If you're rebuilding a custom version of a game, these should probably friction match the fields from the original disc in case the game checks them.
15. Click OK.
16. If you lot want to make the dates match an existing disc, switch to the "Dates" tab and configure that at present. This should never be required.
17. Click the "New" button to close the window and switch to the projection editor.
18. If you want to add a dummy file to the disc, practice so now (earlier adding anything else).
19. Add together the Organization.CNF file for your image to the disc.
20. Add the ELF file for your image (SLUS_123.45, etc., whatever you've named it) to the disc.
21. Add any other files that should go in the root folder of your disc to the disc.
22. Add together any remaining folders to the disc.
23. Save the project.
24. Make sure the DVD writer is set to "Image Recorder".
25. Click the "Fire" button.
26. Click the "Burn" button.
27. In "Salvage equally type", choose "ISO Image Files (*.iso)".
28. Save the ISO file somewhere convenient.
29. Make sure the ISO file boots correctly in your favorite PS2 emulator.
30. Open up the ISO file in DiscPatcher.exe.
31. Make certain "Console" is set to "PS2".
32. Bank check the "Chief Disc" box.
33. Make certain "Disc Blazon" is "DVD".
34. Make sure "Region" is ready to the region you want your disc to be valid for.
35. Leave "Exe Filename" blank.
36. Click the "Patch" button.
37. When the patching process is consummate, shut DiscPatcher.exe.
38. Brand sure the patched .bin file still boots correctly in your favorite PS2 emulator.
39. If y'all desire a physical DVD-R, similar for a PS2 debug station or modded PS2, burn the patched ISO to disc using Nero, ImgBurn or like.

DVD-ROM (ISO filesystem)

I haven't really figured out a mode to make an ISO-only filesystem (no UDF) DVD epitome that boots in PCSX2, permit alone a real PS2. I know it's possible, because I accept at least ane DVD-R (the "Alpha 61" prototype of Need for Speed ProStreet) which works, and which was mastered using CDVDGEN two.0. I just don't know what the magic is yet. CDVDGEN doesn't seem to have an option to not include the UDF information, and I oasis't made an epitome that works using any other tool.

That Need for Speed prototype is a flake weird, in that the filesystem contents don't start being listed until beginning 0x82800, which is way past where they'd normally exist for an ISO or ISO/UDF disc.

CD-ROM (ISO filesystem)

Figuring out how to making a CD-R that would boot in a real PS2 debugging station was the original reason I wrote this guide. There was near no data left online near how to practice it at the time.

There are three ways I've successfully congenital CD-Rs that will boot in a real PS2 debug station. One tin can exist washed entirely with free tools. The others require not-free tools.

The about important things to keep in heed from a technical perspective are that the disc needs to be a "Way 2" disc, and most authoring software either doesn't support that, or its back up is totally broken (like ImgBurn). This means you can't have the paradigm in ISO format at whatsoever stage, or critical information volition exist lost. Yous'll be working with bin/cue files (which preserve that data), or equivalents similar .nrg files.

CD-ROM (ISO filesystem) In CDGenPS2 3.0:

1. Click the "VOL" button and enter the series number for your "release", e.g. SLUS_12345. This should match the name of the main ELF for the game, without the "." nigh the end.
2. If you want to add a dummy file to the disc, do and so now (before calculation anything else).
3. Add the Organization.CNF file for your paradigm to the disc.
4. If y'all are not calculation a dummy file, but desire to manually increase the LBA for the starting time file, right-click on SYSTEM.CNF and choose "Edit". Check the "Fix LBA". Enter a new LBA for the file. The recommendation I've unremarkably seen is 12231.
5. Add the ELF file for your paradigm (SLUS_123.45, etc., whatever you've named it) to the disc.
6. Add any other files that should go in the root binder of your disc to the disc.
7. Add any remaining folders to the disc.
8. Save the project.
9. From the File carte, choose "Relieve Prototype".
10. In "Relieve as type", make sure "BIN files (*.bin)" is selected.
11. Save the bin/cue files somewhere.
12. Brand sure the .bin file boots correctly in your favorite PS2 emulator.
13. Open the .bin file in DiscPatcher.exe.
14. Brand sure "Console" is set to "PS2".
15. Check the "Main Disc" box.
16. Make certain "Disc Type" is "CD".
17. Make sure "Region" is ready to the region you desire your disc to be valid for.
18. Leave "Exe Filename" blank.
19. Click the "Patch" push.
20. When the patching process is complete, close DiscPatcher.exe.
21. Make sure the patched .bin file still boots correctly in your favorite PS2 emulator.
22. If you lot desire a physical CD-R, like for a PS2 debug station or modded PS2, fire the patched bin/cue to disc using ImgBurn or similar.

CD-ROM (ISO filesystem) In CDVDGEN:

1. From the initial popup, choose "Create new projection" and click OK.
2. Choose "CD-ROM Master Disc" and click OK.
3. Click the Volume button near the top of the window.
4. In "Disc Name", enter the licensing area (e.g. "SLUS", "SLES", etc.) for your release, and then its serial number.
5. In "Volume" and "Book Set", enter the complete serial number, eastward.g. SLUS_12345.
6. In "Producer Name", "Copyright Holder", "Publisher", and "Data Preparer", enter whatever text you want in all caps. If you're rebuilding a custom version of a game, these should probably match the fields from the original disc in instance the game checks them.
7. Make sure the "License Area" choice matches the licensing expanse code y'all entered, e.g. "America" for "SLUS", "Europe", for "SLES".
8. Click the Directory push well-nigh the tiptop of the window.
9. If you lot desire to add a dummy file to the disc, practice so at present (before adding anything else).
10. Add together the Organisation.CNF file for your prototype to the disc.
11. If yous want to manually increment the LBA of the Arrangement.CNF file:
    1. Switch to the Layout tab.
    2. Gyre downwardly until you reach the entry for System.CNF.
    3. Correct-click on it and choose Location.
    4. Enter a new LBA for the file. The recommendation I've usually seen is 12231.
    5. Switch dorsum to the Directory tab.
12. Add the ELF file for your epitome (SLUS_123.45, etc., whatever you lot've named it) to the disc.
13. Add whatever other files that should get in the root binder of your disc to the disc.
14. Add together whatsoever remaining folders to the disc.
15. Click the "Rec..." button near the peak of the window.
16. Relieve the .iml file somewhere convenient.
17. Click OK in the "The Recording Unit is non continued" window.
18. Click OK in the "Initialization failed" window.
19. In the File card, choose "Export image".
20. Save the .lst file somewhere convenient.
21. Wait for the process to complete
22. Apply cdvdgenbin2normalbin.py from the tools collection to convert the .000 output file from CDVDGEN (should be named the same equally the .lst file other than the extension) to bin/cue format. CDVDGEN doesn't set the EDC/ECC information correctly - it's all zeroes - so if you apply disc-verification tools with the resulting bin/cue they'll find errors, simply the image is fine as far as an emulator or debug station is concerned. Run across the comments/rant in the script for more details.
23. Make certain the .bin file boots correctly in your favorite PS2 emulator.
24. Open the .bin file in DiscPatcher.exe.
25. Brand sure "Console" is set to "PS2".
26. Check the "Master Disc" box.
27. Make certain "Disc Type" is "CD".
28. Make sure "Region" is set to the region y'all desire your disc to be valid for.
29. Leave "Exe Filename" bare.
30. Click the "Patch" push.
31. When the patching process is complete, shut DiscPatcher.exe.
32. Make sure the patched .bin file however boots correctly in your favorite PS2 emulator.
33. If y'all want a physical CD-R, like for a PS2 debug station or modded PS2, burn down the patched bin/cue to disc using ImgBurn or similar.

CD-ROM (ISO filesystem) In Nero:

1. Create a new "CD-ROM (ISO)" project.

3. Make certain "No Multisession" is selected.
4. Switch to the "ISO" tab.
5. Set "Information way" to "Mode 2 / XA".

8. Set "Grapheme set (ISO)" to "ISO 9660 (standard ISO CD-ROM).
9. Brand certain none of the "Relax restrictions" options are enabled.
10. Switch to the "Label" tab.
11. In "Disc name", enter the series number for your "release", e.g. SLUS_12345. This should match the proper noun of the main ELF for the game, without the "." nearly the end.
12. Click the "More Labels" button.
13. In "Organization identifier" and "Application", enter PLAYSTATION.
14. In "Volume Ready", enter the serial number for your "release", e.grand. SLUS_12345. This should match the name of the main ELF for the game, without the "." near the end.
15. In "Publisher" and "Data preparer", enter whatever text yous want in all caps. If you're rebuilding a custom version of a game, these should probably match the fields from the original disc in instance the game checks them.

An ISO + UDF DVD doesn't work, and when booted in PCSX2, output similar to the post-obit is displayed in the panel, even though all of the files mentioned in the error message are present on the disc:

You take encountered i of the mystery atmospheric condition which doesn't work with the very strict estimation of ISO + UDF that the PlayStation ii uses. Apply one of the ISO (not ISO + UDF) disc types instead.

An ISO DVD doesn't work, and when booted in PCSX2, output like to the post-obit is displayed in the panel, fifty-fifty though all of the files mentioned in the error message are nowadays on the disc:

loadelf version 3.30
open up fail proper noun ¥SLUS_000.00;1
Cannot openfile

(EE pc:80005560) TLB Miss, addr=0x0 [load]
(EE pc:80005560) TLB Miss, addr=0x0 [load]

You lot probably need to add a dummy file or increase the LBA of SYSTEM.CNF.

An ISO+UDF master disc DVD boots in PCSX2, but does not kick on real PS2 hardware. In the browser on the real PS2, it shows as a gold "PlayStation ii Disc", but attempting to launch information technology merely returns you to the browser after a brief black screen.

Your disc probably didn't burn correctly. Endeavor burning it once more.

A CD master disc boots in PCSX2, but does non boot on existent PS2 hardware. In the browser on the real PS2, it shows every bit a black "PlayStation Disc" instead of a blue/purple "PlayStation ii Disc".

You probably did not follow ane or more than of the instructions in the section on making a CD-ROM. Virtually likely, you created a Style one disc instead of Mode 2/XA, or you converted the disc image to mode 1 at some point (possibly past saving it as an ISO instead of bin/cue). Go back and create a new disc, making certain to follow ALL of the instructions.

A CD chief disc created using Nero, boots in PCSX2, simply does not kick on real PS2 hardware. In the browser on the real PS2, information technology shows equally a blue/purple "PlayStation two Disc", but attempting to launch it merely returns you to the browser after a brief black screen.

Make sure that you manually edited "Rails 01 MODE1/2352" into "Runway 01 MODE2/2352" in the .cue file generated by IsoBuster as specified above.

CDVDGEN should work. The process should be like to the regular DVD process described above, except that you need to cull which files go before and after the layer break. I haven't tried this myself because I haven't had the need to burn anything to a dual-layer disc notwithstanding. If you point me to the GT4 build yous're talking about, I can try.

thank you

When you create a new project, pick "DVD-ROM Master Disc (Dual)". The curved arrow button then switches betwixt layers 1 and ii in the layout view.

Edit: 2 layer images may be created using that method, but it will not result in a coherent disc image. Demand to utilise Nero for now.

Question, how is it any different than the PSX/PS2 Patcher program for the ISO files? I have made many working ISOs with that program for both DVD and CD burning so I tin can play them on my PS2 Debug station.

The patcher is really useful, but it doesn't give the same results as the official Sony tool. That hasn't made a difference for anything I've needed to do, only information technology might for someone else.

Ah, gotcha. I will have to use this one as well, I am curious on how the ISO+UDF would work, pretty sure with the programme I mentioned, it wouldn't. Thank you for the guide!

In my experience, I have come up across many a time where I've burnt a coaster for my TOOL because I didn't master patch it. And so in that example, I would recommend the tool that @supersega here has recommended. Information technology's really washed me favors especially for the CD making, particularly since you are irresolute the format of the CD from 1 bytes/block format to another, to even so some other. That seems like it shouldn't matter when yous alter from one bytes/block to another and the chief game data doesn't change, equally if that doesn't alter, why should the "kick sectors"?

In all fairness, information technology's more of a safeguard than anything else so y'all don't but create a coaster. And then in my experience with using a TOOL, I'd say that using it isn't exactly a bad thing.

Having had repacked games with CDVDGEN (such equally stuff with dummy files that are empty so i tin can store the unpacked iso in a smaller file size, encounter also Sonic Mega Drove Plus, or creating standalone discs for sonic the fighters/sonic r), I'd say that I'm proficient with using it and figuring out what has to practise what when. The odd affair is that CDVDGEN requires a minimum of 600000 sectors for a DVD and Capcom v SNK 2001 (which also can install its files to the HDD) is something to the tune of 109344 sectors. http://redump.org/disc/9205/ How they did that and passed Sony is a to exist unanswered question.

That was done in that fashion considering the TOOL (and PS2 development in general) was only supposed to use DVD-R, and there was no DVD-R DL, only +R. Developers did it by using ii separate discs and swapping them out as they needed.
