Curious, from anybody that's gotten one of these to WORK:

Has any Nonstop/Long/Marathon stages been supported, that you're aware of, like those in 5th Mix/Solo 2000? Thanks in advance.

Is there a limit to how many songs you can put or how long they can be?

Well, followed the instructions on the OpenGroove tutorial to a tee. And to no avail, as my SwapMagic 3.6 loads it to an "Not Valid PS2 Disc" error.

Curious, could changing "AdditionalSongsFolder=" to the disc root perhaps enable off-the-root SongFolders, ala R21/Flash Drive? Then you could just "add song folders" to the typical ITG setup, and there's your custom mix.

All else fails, it may be able to load PAK files from the root, and lower these enormous loading times by adding multiple, smaller PAK's to the root (IE: The subfolders -below- songs, each), instead of a single, gigantic one.

It's obvious that ITG can load these, because they use 3-4 PAKs for their songfiles... probably for "Default songs", "Unlockable Songs", "ITG 2 Preview songs" (possibly licensed tracks within a fourth...).

Can someone please give me a link to a program that packs pcks? I can't find PCK Suite.

I've successfully made my own custom ITG ISO (and it works), but can someone help me out with syncing? The BoxoRRoXoR packs recommend +15ms in ITG's settings, Azelay's ITG H4CK3D 2.0 recommend +30ms timing, and the regular ITG game works fine for me at +0ms.

I've tried all the sims in StepMania 4.0 CVS, and the BoXorRRoXor ones sync perfectly with it, while the H4CK3D files are definitely about +25ms or so. When I play the sims on pad I can still score decently, but I definitely notice my FA go down.

I've considered resyncing Azelay's sims from their +30ms to Team OpenGroove's +15, but it seems rather tedious. Considering what an excellent job Azelay seems to be doing modifying ITG, I'm not sure why his sims are set ahead time wise.

As a continuation of a post made by someone on pg 10, has anyone gotten themes/noteskins to work on ITGPS2? I'm trying to make this look like an official DDR mix as I can.

what program and settings do you guys use to burn this?

i have nero, disk juggler, and dvd decrypter and neither of them have burned a playable version.

i know to burn it at x1 speed to good media(i'm using memorex, is that good enough?) but other than that i dont know what settings to use.

I don't know, I've always used HDLoader.

well, i tried again, did everything from scratch, and it still didnt work. i even made this one just 1 gig big as a test run so to speak, but i dont know what i'm doing wrong.

the only thing that i can think of, is that i just realized this last burn that i'm using DVDRWs, do they work for ps2 games? i know they didnt on dreamcast.

but this thing wont even boot in an emulator, so something isnt packing right, or maybe something didnt rip right?

if i'm following the directions exactly like it says and its not working, i'm lead to believe i'm burning on the wrong settings, because i know psx and dc games had to be burned a certain way, not just this "load up your dvd burning program and burn" stuff that everyone says to do.

well, the settings shouldn't matter that much

but if it doesn't work in emulator, then something is getting packed wrong

are you packing from the root of your drive?
