aww. that sucks. i don't have any PAL isos around since i ripped my NTSC copy.

one question, is the iso produced with the PAL version bigger or smaller than the original?

The PAL ISO is about 0.05 Gigabites smaller than the NTSC version.

hm i see. i noticed the paks got a bit bigger and that's what made the final iso bigger than the original. maybe if i remove something it will be smaller and work fine...

It might just be an issue with the loader itself because I can get it to work fine with a burnt DVD, but it's worth a try

lol now it loads.

i did the simplest thing. replaced a big song with a small one to make the iso smaller and now it loads.

nothing else was changed in the process. i did the same steps i was doing earlier that parax used too.

some of these programs get all picky when you make things bigger than what they are normally.

In case anyone is interested this is the result of using PAL cutscene files on an NTSC ISO

Echoes_Randomizer (folder) -s (seed) -e (excluded items) -i
PAUSE

Make a txt file, open it in Notepad, put this ^ in it, replace the seed and excluded items with the values you want, and replace folder with the path to the root folder in quotes, then save as, give it a name, replace the .txt at the end with .bat, and save it. Then double click on the .bat file you just saved to run the commands.

Oh, right, you need to have that .bat file inside the folder where the echoes randomizer EXE is.

Seed: 1853401841, I always get a crash while trying to pickup Grapple beam at Mining Station A (spider track), also that crash corrupted the Memory card file on Dolphin (PAL version)

found another way to enter this tunnel.

You can get into that tunnel with a ghetto jump as well.

i tried using a ghetto jump but couldn't get it to work. i think the extra height from the bsj makes it easier.

The tunnel leading towards the dark door has a little slope you can partially walk up. You wanna ghetto off that. Probably won't work if you use the wall in front of the tunnel.

Don't put parameters in parentheses. If there's a space in a parameter use quotation marks. Also, you can leave out -e if you aren't modifying the excluded pickups.

I tried what Uchiha said but no it just refuses to run on nintendont.
Would there be a way to fix this issues?

The iso runs fine on dolphin so I don't know what I am doing wrong because the original prime iso runs fine on nintendont.
This is on PAL.

oh, i do have one issue, the game crashes when i die since the dying images don't load and it stays in a black screen. currently i have to reset as soon as i die to avoid that.

@JRP2234 Branching off of what Uchiha said, I only deleted a file to get it to work on Nintendont. The file I deleted was named "multi-defbgm32.dsp" which is located in the Audio folder.

You guys could try Dios Mios instead. I don't have any experience with Nintendont, but I haven't had any trouble getting it working with Dios Mios (without deleting anything).

Anywhere, everywhere

It seems like GC Rebuilder just breaks because it doesn't read "Game.toc" correctly. There's a feature "Do not use Game.toc" which seems like it works, but it means that you'll have to manually navigate to that folder when saving the ISO once I update the script. Either way, that should work in all of the GC loaders, while the trimmed ISO's do not.
