I have an original gt4 copy here. So if I would like to make a backup it shouldn't be considered illegal.
Same here.. I'm a ps2 fan with over 350 games and bought GT4 becuase it's worth every cent and it can't be copied!
I tried to burn a full gt4 dvd9 image with a dvd+r dual layer burner. It burned fine, but in the ps2 it always failed to load after the "copyright screen".
Exactly the same happened here, anyway, I can't read it even with my DMS4 modded PS2 with the DVD-DL patch of latest toxic bios.
So i googled a bit and found out that this is because dvd+r dual layer discs are for Opposite Track Path recording while the original Gt4 disc is made using Parallel Track Path.
So either one would need a rip patch that makes it fit on a normal 4.5gb disc or dual layer discs(dvd-r?) that support ptp, which arent available yet iirc.
Right, you should read ps2nfo.com.. there's a patch for the GT4 ISO that can make it readable on DL DVD discs even if your mod chip doesn't support it. I have NOT tested it myself though.
edit: anyway, gran turismo4 is well worth its money even if you buy it, its the best racing simulator out there on any platform
I've read that Forza Motorsport on the M$ console is good too, but I refuse to believe M$ can develop something *good*, so I Agree about GT4 ;-)
Cheers!
