where da hecl do i put the multi ini file and how can i play mass effect 3 it says clean the disc when there is none   im dieing to play the rest of the game

[ars0n]

what version of dash are you running and freestyle? You should find a multi.ini file in your root freestyle folder and it should have a example of how you format it... you could also do a search and find out the correct format as well.. but, if you find the ini, you should be able to figure it out =]

Disk Swapper v1 Beta DashLaunch Plugin Posted by XanTium | January 26 06:36 EST | News Category: Xbox360

After the released of the Dead Space 2 Disc Swap DashLaunch Plugin, cOz now released a universal disk swapper plugin for DashLaunch: Disk swapper v1 BETA Multidisk game switcher This plugin is not hard coded to require any specific version of dash or for any specific game. What it does: If you have games with more than one disk installed on your machine, this plugin takes care of switching from one disk to the other (once you set up the multi.ini file, the plugin, and dash launch of course) ingame. Currently tested with (so few hence the beta) - Dead Space 2 - Castlevania Should work well for most games Official Site: n/a, by cOz Download: n/a (built with XDK) News-Source: elitemodscene.com

Sweeeeeeeeeeet

Sweeeeeet indeed lol. How exactly is it used? I know how to use dashlaunch, but do you just load disc 2 and it acts like the discs were swapped?

[TheRealJPizzle]

check the source website for download and more info

[DARKFiB3R]

Apparently all multi disc games have been tested, and work perfectly.

Great job cOz

Is there any reason this solution will not work -

1) Extract Game ISOs into two seperate folders

2) Merge files from the two folders
(eg. with Castlevania use the rename Data00.packed and Data01.packed from the second disc to Data02.packed and Data03.packed)

3) Create a (somewhat large) ISO from this newly merged folder

4) Use ISO2GOD to convert to a complete GOD with no disk swapping

No because some games other disc files are exactly the same and will overwite the data on the other disc.  Like Star Ocean has data for three seperate discs, as some "zones" are on one disc and not the other.

Oh I understand for Star Ocean it's not possible. That's been an issue for a long time, but for Final Fantasy XIII, Mass Effect 2 and Castlevania I think the solution I suggested is far more elegant - If it works, my question is would it work for those.

I think what's missing here in the forums is a nice sticky about multi-disc games.

e.g. to get started:


Combining extracted files into a \games\gametitle folder

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Files Data00.packed and Data01.packed from DVD2 must be renamed to Data02.packed and Data03.packed before merging folders to prevent overwriting files

Dead Space 2
Doesn't work

Final Fantasy XIII
Note - most people report that overwriting DVD3's contents with DVD2's followed by DVD1's files produces a working merged folder.

Mass Effect 2
Most people say to copy DVD1's contents over the top of DVD2 but it shouldn't make a difference

Star Ocean: The Last Hope
Doesn't work

Using the above method then converting the merged folder to an ISO then a GOD

[Obveron]

edit: wait you've been active in that thread, so whats the deal?  why not make your list there? this thread is for things pertaining to the dashlaunch plugin only.
