Niether ClAuTo nore MysticWar took time to check if disc 2 would work, and it doesn't. I can understand why Echelon made the mistake, it would take too lang for them to play every game through, but there is no reson for the other two to make the mistake of not checking to see if disc 2 would work. So because ClAuTo and MysticWar was so eager to make their little groups instead of making sure their releases worked I have to release this. I will not notic ClAuTo as a "Group" however I will with MysticWar, because they did figure out what was wrong (At least they take credit for it). And I am not taking full credit for my tutorial because I could not have made it without the fix by MysticWar. Now on to the tutorial. ****************************[-Tutorial-]*************************** Use ISOBUSTER and extract all of the files from Echelon's Grandia 2 US to a directory, make sure to extract both discs. Now replace files CG10.SFD to CG17A.SFD of the "LOGO" directory of disc 1 with the same files from the "LOGO" directory of disc 2. Then unrar all of the files from MysticWar's fix to BTL directory of the Grandia 2 US. Now copy the Grandia 2 directory you made 2 times so you have 3 directories that are exacly the same. Now rename the directories to "Disc1" "Disc2" and "Disc3" it has to be 3 discs because if you try to replace the bad files on disc2 like with disc1 the game will be too big, and this way you don't have to rip out the inro movie. Next delete all the files except Staff.pvr from the "LOGO" directory in the "Disc2" and "Disc3" directories. Now goto the "LOGO" directory in "Disc1" and cute files CG08.SFD to CG12.SFD and paste them in the "logo" directory of "Disc2". Now goto the "LOGO" directory in "Disc1" and cute files CG13.SFD to CG17A.SFD and paste them in the "logo" directory of "Disc3". Now replace all the missing files in each directory with file CG10.SFD of the original Echelon release just rename it to the same name as the missing files. Now burn the CDs using Nero with LEVEL 2, MODE1, JOLIET settings. If you have any questions you can find me on Efnet and Undernet in #DCISOS. And please NO REQUEST, I don't rip DC games! I don't know how, so don't ask. But if you would like to tell me how I would apreciate it :) lol. ****************************[-Group News-]*************************** None *******************************[-Note-]****************************** All of you who are complaining about Echelon making mistakes or complain about anything they do or any other group does need to shut up or start releasing games yourself. If it wasn't for them you would have anything. Remember what happend with Kalisto, everyone freaked out when they "retired" and took back what they said but it was too late. I think Kalisto "retired" because of lamers. If you are wondering why the release for PSX and PS2, there are not as many lamers. KALISTO - FAIRLIGHT - CLASS - DEVIANCE - MYTH - PARADOX - CCS - ECHELON STATIC - MENACE - EURASIA - CAPITAL - AGGRESSION - LIGHTFORCE - RAZOR ACCESSION - UTOPIA - MYSTICWAR SAGEICE - FIXING OTHERS MISTAKES
