Extracting a game from homebrew compilation disc
Hi everyone
I was looking for the ISO for Giga Wing Generations, and stumbled across an ISO called 'PS2 Shoot em Ups Games Collection 16in1.iso'.
I loaded the ISO in PCSX2 and confirm that it loads a menu, before loading a game.

Below is what I extracted from PCSX2's console as it is loading the game.
Code:

From here, I was able to determine that the game data was stored in the DETA folder in the ISO.

Using IsoBuster, I extracted this folder along with the files SYSTEM.CNF and SLPM_626.02 to my PC.
I edited SYSTEM.CNF as below
Code:
BOOT2 = cdrom0:\SLPM_626.02;1
VER = 1.47
VMODE = NTSC
and used cdgenPS2 to create a new image.

I exported it to ISO, and unfortunately loading the ISO in PCSX2 simply crashed.
Next, I exported to BIN+CUE format, and it was able to boot in PCSX2 before crashing. In the PCSX2 console, I get the following lines repeating over and over indicating a problem loading SIO2MAN.IRX.
Code:
loadmodule: id -203, ret 0
loadmodule: fname cdrom0:¥DETA¥MODULES¥SIO2MAN.IRX;1 args 0 arg
open fail name ¥DETA¥MODULES¥SIO2MAN.IRX;1
I can't figure this out for the life of me, and since there doesn't appear to an honest to goodness dump of Giga Wing Generations out there, this is definitely something to do to get the dump out there.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
