    Default ISO Size question

    I've just finished downloading Rogue Galaxy for the PS2 for the second time. The first time I downloaded it, apparently it wasn't the full game as it froze every time you reached chapter 7.

    This new version I've downloaded is supposedly the full version with no problems. However, the size of the iso is 6.48gb; far too large to burn. What am I supposed to do? How do I burn the game?

    From what I understand, there is only one disc to the game. There's also only one iso present, so I doubt there's two discs involved. What do I do?

    Rogue Galaxy is a DVD9 game:

    You're going to need a dual-layer DVD and a burner that can burn dual-layer DVD's.

    Dual-layer's are more expensive than regular DVD's too. (I seem to remember you mentioning before that you were on a tight budget)

    Or maybe you can find a copy that has been split and fixed so you can burn it to 2 seperate regular DVD's.

    Dual-layer? I've never heard of that before. I hope swap magic can actually read it. I doubt I can find one that's been split; besides here, I only know of two other places to download games. One site is down, the other only has the single disc for download. I guess I'll have to see if I can find some relatively cheap dual-layer DVDs, then. I wish I could afford to just buy the game itself.

    Anyway, thank you very much for the help.

    I'm sorry, but Swap Magic won't boot dual layer games since it's TOC is only arround 4.3gbs.
    Untill someone release a working DVD5 rip there's nothing much you can do :/

    Ah, I see. Thank you for telling me before I went out and looked for those DVDs. I guess this'll be a game I won't be able to play for a while, then.
