::GUIDE TO::ManHunt 2

[Midian]

first off, this is not a guide on how to beat it!!!!! beat the game yourself (its better that way or download a 100% game save)

this guide will tell you how to shrink the ISO size of manhunt 2 so that it can fit on a 1gb memory stick or even a 512MB memory stick!!!!!!
i know unbelievable right? well keep reading!

WARNINGS:
1)Your your own Manhunt 2 UMD (dont be a pussy, buy the game)
2)This is for educational purposes and i dont care what you do with it as it is for educational use ONLY
3)Don's steal credit for my posts!!!

ok, with all that said, lets get started with the actual tutorial lol
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
haha another great tutorial from me (Midian)
this tutorial will teach you how to shrink the ISO size of manhunt 2 so that it may fit on a 1gb memory stick or even a 512MB stick!!!!

Organization:
------------
1)Materials
2)Process
3)Downloads

well, the organization is done so lets get started!

Material:
---------
A copy of Manhunt 2 (USE YOUR OWN, I WILL NOT GIVE YOU MY ISO)
A PSP with either 1.50 or custom firmware (i use 3.71M33-2 on my PSP Slim)
A Memory Stick (512Mb+)
A Mini USB Cable (lol)
An Internet connection (lol)

now that you have this, we can continue to the process.

Process:
---------
1)Rip your copy of manhunt 2 (here is the method i used)
--downloaded that recovery.prx......the LE style recovery prx)
--Toggled USB as UMD
--Connected the PSP
--Open the drive
--Copied the UMD ISO to my Desktop

now that you have that down, time for step 2

2)Download UMDgen 4.00 (see downloads)
3)Download the Manhunt 2 auto patcher (see downloads)
4)Download MY LVSETUP.INI and my GLVLSET.INI edits (again, see downloads)

5)Create a folder on your desktop called "Manhunt"
6)Extract the auto patcher to this folder

7)Extract UMDgen to your desktop and run it
8)Drag and drop your ISO to UMDgen
9)DON'T do any customizations to this YET......just save the untouched ISO as "original.iso" (NO quotes)

10)place the newly made "original.iso" in your Manhunt folder with the auto patcher
11)Start the auto patcher and press any key to start the compression
12)After a while it will finish and give you 2 items:
--ripped.iso
--udm9660.cso

NOTE: your file names may be different than mine but it is OK. also, you will notice that the memory has been extremely decreased from 1.20GB to about 500MB!!!!!

13)Now drag and drop the "ripped.iso" into UMDgen.

14)extract the edited files on to your Desktop

15)On UMDgen, click on PSP_GAME
16)Then USRDIR
17)Then Global
18)Look for a file called "LVSETUP.INI" and delete it
19)Now open the edits folder and open the lvsetup folder
20)move the LVSETUP.INI file from their, to the UMDgen Global folder

21)Now go back to the root of the folder (the edits folder)

22)On UMDgen, select USRDIR again
23)Then on the right, select LEVEL

24)From this point, your going to have to delete a file called "GLVLSET.INI" on ALL 16 folders and replace them with the GLVLSET.INI in the correct folder.

(example: you delete the glvlset.ini the A01_ES and replace it with the glvlset.ini in the A01_ES folder in the edits folder and keep doing so until all 16 folders have their glvlset.ini replaced)

25)After thats done, save your ISO as an uncompressed ISO with any name you want.

26)plug in your psp with the memory stick enabled
27)go into your drive and the ISO folder
28)and just add your just created ISO and your done!!!!

What exactly is it about the Manhunt patcher that drastically reduces the file sizes?

Also, why aren't there any downloads?
And, upload the picture to tinypic please...

[Midian]

well, the patcher was *suppose* to automatically remove the sensors of the game while decreasing its ISO size by as much as possible.
im guessing that since its new that it has a bug in it that doesnt remove that patches at but rather deletes unnecessary files.

i have tested the game using a new rip version (before i found that it didnt even patch the censors lol) and it had a file size of 495MB. so i was tripping out and going crazy because i couldnt believe that it decreased the size by more than double the memory. so i tested it, played it and it seemed to work perfectly.

then i just manually did alll the patches and re-saved the iso (i thought it was just a glitch and would just go back to 1.20GB but instead, it stayed the same)

idk what was up with that all i know is that what i posted works and that it is somehow under 500MB.

and i just added the download links lol sorry for the delay, i had to save them all to rar's and then upload them to sendspace.com lol

and ok i will try uploading hte picture to tiny pic (if i can)

[TexasBoy2084]

on file A17_CR all i get is a bunch of stuff thats not words, thats image encryption from what i was told, so how do i find the line of code and delete it?

[Midian]

mine shouldnt be encrypted so just delete the glvlset.ini in your and replace it with the one in mine.

and if that doesnt work, im not sure. im not good at decoding lol unless i have some kind of source code that is

[Cros]

Has anyone done this and played the game afterward? notice anything missing? possibly cutscenes?

[Midian]

i have noticed that when you hit a check point or an auto save point (you know when the screen does that little scramble thing) that that is a little glitchy and sometimes doesnt even show it.
but if thats the price to pay for fitting it on a 512mb card, im willing to do it lol (even though i already did)

other than that, everything is running perfectly. i started the game over just so i can play through it again and see if anything is missing.
im on the "ghosts" episode and everything is still going good.

[jasjeetsuri]

if i have already removed the filter, can i still use the autopatcher to decrease the size of the ISO?

Edit* well i tried the patcher, hmm it didnt do anything to the filesize, also i had to click ''apply patch'', not press any key, are you sure you uploaded the right file???

[Midian]

jasjeetsuri:
yes but when you use the auto patcher, the patches will be on it again. so you have to MANUALLY edit the LVSETUP.INI and the GLVLSET.INI files.

the auto patcher is an exe (executable) file and it shouldnt ask you to select apply ANYWHERE. i dont know what the hell your using or what tutorial your following but it obviously isnt mine.

[Morris1113]

i just cant survive in manhunt 2, im getting jumped in the bar by 3 guys and my god, my character sucks. he wears glasses, give me a gun for cryin out loud, if this game is as real as it appears a gun should cap these quick...

[Chriscyco30]

Will this work for other ISOs?

[Midian]

Morris1113:
you do get guns in like the 3rd stage lol.
you get a regular hand gun, then a revolver, then a shotgun.
lol how far are you lol

Chriscyco30
nope. tried it with daxter, lumines, wipeout pure and both gta's.

[Morris1113]

honestly i dotn like the game, im just playing it cuz my friend said for my to try it, im trying it, hating it but am willing to see how far i can get before i decide to ditch the crappy game, im still in the bar, having beat the bejesus out of the guy peeing in the toilet ROFL

[Midian]

lmao!!!!
thats like in the beginning. the only thing i can really complain about is the shitty graphics. although (as mentioned) rockstar has never really been about amazing graphics but more about good game play. and i agree with that.
lets hope that GTA4 wont lets us down and (we all know) the graphics will look great!

What is the Uncut/patched part?

I have the game and when I kill someone the screen colors change, and there is a weird dimond thing spinning in the middle of the screen.

I can still pretty much make out how that dude is dieing... but is there a way to "Clean" up the color change and get rid of that Dimond?

Edit: Ah Nvm thats what your talking about... yeah I tried what you said to do and im stuck like
jasjeetsuri, when I run auto patcher I have to press Apply as well... and there are no Two files, just says ISO READY TO BURN...

the Auto patcher, i had to show where the Original.iso is and the patch.ppf, after that it says Apply..

Edit Edit:
Wait I think i got it .... with the help from some dude from prozzak.ru

My problem was I just select all the files thinking they would just override the old ones but keep the contex of the folders... nope, thats why I kept getting the Consored parts...You have to Go File by File and drag and drop all of those files, one by one to override the old ones...

409 MB Manhunt2 UnCut!
