metal gear 2 and shenmue are Both two big to fit on dvd. Has anyone been able to copy these games and if so how? When you look at the files in metal gear it says disc one, disc two. I am gong to try to copy those files on seperate discs.I Will let you know how I made out. I have know idea how to do Shenmue.

I had that problem with Genma Onimusha and when I looked at the files on the DVD I noticed that some files ended with an E, which I assumed meant English. I took the largest file that was a japanese video file and i copied the smallest video file over it and named it back to what it was originally called. This isn't a problem for me because there was a japanese set of videos and an english set of videos and I know Ill never use the japanese version, so it worked just great for me.

Also, I have heard of some people killing the "demo" files on their discs to cut down on space too.

In another forum, I read that some people actually take the video files and re-encode them so that they are of a lower quality, but the smaller file size will allow the game to fit. I have no idea how to do that...

Good Luck Dude...

get the X2 DVD-R version of MGS..... I got it (only it does'nt appear to work, though it could be HD only).

tried a few different things and failed. I have given up and assume that shenmue 2 and metal gear solid are one of the few games that cannot be backed up. I have heard that they can be played if you back them up to a large installed hard drive on the x-box.

MGS Hd only (for now)
Shenmue2 has been released on 1 dvd (downsampling etc).
