i had trouble making a .cdi from it though

I’ll double-check with Rolly and post my CDI here if he says it’s okay (I’m sure he will). I also created a version of the GDI with disc art, which according to the README can only be done by deleting a certain unnecessary file. It would be some fun anti-piracy to defeat! But not much of a point, as the hacky solution works.

Wonderful guys. Thank you for your hard work!

Whouhou !

With Rolly's permission, I'm sharing here a pre-patched GDI with disc art (for GDMenu). As per his README, DIGI.BIN has been deleted from game files to allow the addition of a new file (0GDTEX.PVR). As I stated previously, it's something that could be patched out to work without requiring the removal of a file, but given that DIGI.BIN only affects one of the pre-title screen intro textures, it's hardly worth the effort.

I also built a CDI, but haven't tested it beyond emulator/ODE. It's under 800 MB and should have no issue being burned to a standard 700 MB disc via DiscJuggler with the default overburn setting turned on. Furthermore, I'm not sure if any audio or video needed to be downsampled to account for slower read/access speed of CD-ROM vs. GD-ROM, so it's up to non-ODE users out there to test this themselves.
