I don't understand why you would even mention other methods that don't work for every game in this thread. This plugin works for EVERY multi disc game and has support for up to 5 discs per game, you can also have multiple games listed in your multi.ini

Use the method that works wink.gif

Hey sorry, wasn't trying to Hijack the conv. Good to know it works with all games. That thread linked is about 9 pages long and has contradicting answers about copying files into the same folder and makes no mention of combined GODs. I was just trying to collect the info from it together into a readable form. I'll shift my post.

As I said, good that it works for all games, the only real issue is the initial setup could be a bit risky. I've seen people saying that incorrectly configuring other dashlaunch plugins can cause the system to stop booting, I've tried to use c0z's hddalive plugin and had no success. The other advantage of merging the games is that they won't appear as duplicate in the game listing, and it makes them easier to move to another xbox (easier than copying two separate folders then having to edit an .ini file. My point was only that there are more elegant solutions for other games, for some such as dead space 2 this is only option.

you can put your disc 2 folder inside the disc one folder then it will be out of the scan depth of FSD so it wont pick it up twice and it is easy to move. As cOz says in his readme

I just tested this with Mass Effect 2 with GoDs created with ISO2GOD. I started disc 2, pressed new game and when it asked for disc 1 it swapped but then gave me a "This disc is unreadable." error. Is anyone else getting this error with this game?


Not with ME2, but with Dead Space 2. The xex worked first time going to disc2 but now a bit further into the game it gives me "disc is unreadable" every time. Have no idea how to fix it, except abandon using GoD and burn to DVD, but I don't want longer loading times, possible texture popping and a noisy dvd spinning  sad.gif

anyone test this with Star Ocean TLH, and see if it can go from one disc to another back to the other.  Since the game switches disks depending on where you go.

i'm stuck. i dont really get it tbh  huh.gif

i did have both games on hd as god, and then discovered only disk 2 worked. so i have put swap.xex in hdd:/Plugins/ and my launch.ini says this:

[QuickLaunchButtons]
BUT_X = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000\C0DE99990F586558
BUT_Y = Hdd:\fsd2\default.xex
Default =

[Settings]
nxemini = true
pingpatch = true

[Plugins]
plugin1 = Hdd1:Plugins\swap.xex


and my multi.ini (minus the commented out bits says this:

[454108df]
disk1 = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\454108DF\00007000\831BBD71B701B42512FF
disk2 = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\454108DF\00007000\DD7C183E3218583F737B


so now i guess i need to rebuild a god of the two disks and stick them back where they were. is this right? then i suppose the two disks appear as separate games in nxe. am i on the right track?

run the installer for dashlaunch 2.08, if your having problems try reading through the thread from the source website.

Alittle common sense goes a longgg way.. Jus launch disc two then load disc one save. If it plays then your ok.
