With this patch you can create a new
« GT4.VOL » file by integrating four TT tracks instead four circuits
of GT4:
This patch works only with the PAL and the NTSC/U/C versions of
GT4. It doesn’t work with the other NTSC
versions (the Asian ones).
The common instructions are written in
black.
The specific instructions for the PAL
version are written in blue.
The specific instructions for the NTSC/U/C
version are written in green.
Here is the procedure :
Step 0: Pre required
You must have a commercial version of GT4.
You must know how to build and how to run
a GT4 backup game.
You must have enough free space on your
hard disk to build the new « GT4.VOL » file:
- for the PAL
version, at least 6.2 Gb of free space.
- for the
NTSC/U/C version, at least 5.0 Gb of free space.
Step 1: Install 7-Zip
If you don’t have it, you must download
and install the free software 7-zip : http://www.7-zip.org/
Step 2: Check the size of the « GT4.VOL » file
Insert the GT4 DVD in your DVD reader.
Check the size of the
« GT4.VOL » file on the DVD:
- for the PAL
version, you must find 3 084 849 152 bytes.
- for the NTSC/U/C
version, you must find 2 459 506 688 bytes.
Step 3: Create the VOL parts
Create a temporary directory on your hard
disk.
Launch 7-zip, go on the DVD and select the
« GT4.VOL » file.
With a right click, select « Split
file ... », then select the temporary directory, and in the field
« Split to volumes, bytes: » put exactly the value: 4194304, then
launch.
Wait for the end of the task (several
minutes).
Step 4: Check the size of the VOL parts
For the PAL version:
When the task is finished, check that you
have 736 files in the temporary directory, numbered from
« GT4.VOL.001 » to « GT4.VOL.736 ».
Check the size of the files
« GT4.VOL.001 » and « GT4.VOL.735 »: you must find
4 194 304 bytes.
Check the size of the file
« GT4.VOL.736 »: you must find 2 035 712 bytes
For the NTSC/U/C version:
When the task is finished, check that you
have 587 files in the temporary directory, numbered from
« GT4.VOL.001 » to « GT4.VOL.587 ».
Check the size of the files
« GT4.VOL.001 » and « GT4.VOL586 »: you must find 4 194 304
bytes.
Check the size of the file
« GT4.VOL.587 »: you must find 1 644 544 bytes
Step 5: Get the new VOL parts
For the PAL version, download the 9
following files:

http://vrrroummm.free.fr/gt4/patch/pal_v1.0/GT4.VOL.pal.183.rar
For the NTSC/U/C version, download the 9
following files:
http://vrrroummm.free.fr/gt4/patch/ntscuc_v1.0/GT4.VOL.ntscuc.005.rar
http://vrrroummm.free.fr/gt4/patch/ntscuc_v1.0/GT4.VOL.ntscuc.115.rar
http://vrrroummm.free.fr/gt4/patch/ntscuc_v1.0/GT4.VOL.ntscuc.116.rar
http://vrrroummm.free.fr/gt4/patch/ntscuc_v1.0/GT4.VOL.ntscuc.123.rar
http://vrrroummm.free.fr/gt4/patch/ntscuc_v1.0/GT4.VOL.ntscuc.124.rar
http://vrrroummm.free.fr/gt4/patch/ntscuc_v1.0/GT4.VOL.ntscuc.127.rar
http://vrrroummm.free.fr/gt4/patch/ntscuc_v1.0/GT4.VOL.ntscuc.128.rar
http://vrrroummm.free.fr/gt4/patch/ntscuc_v1.0/GT4.VOL.ntscuc.129.rar
http://vrrroummm.free.fr/gt4/patch/ntscuc_v1.0/GT4.VOL.ntscuc.130.rar
Step 6: Replace the old VOL parts with the new ones
Open each rar
file (with 7-Zip for example), extract the « GT4.VOL.??? »
file which is inside and put it instead the existing file in the temporary
directory.
Step 7: Build the new « GT4.VOL » file
Launch 7-Zip, go in the temporary
directory, and select the « GT4.VOL.001 » file.
With a right click, select « Combine
files ... », select a different directory if needed, then launch.
Wait for the end of the task (several
minutes).
Step 8: Check the size of the new « GT4.VOL » file
When the task is finished, check the size
of the new « GT4.VOL » file:
- for the PAL
version, you must find
3 084 849 152 bytes.
- for the
NTSC/U/C version, you must find
2 459 506 688 bytes.
Delete the 736 part VOL files, numbered
from « GT4.VOL.001 » to « GT4.VOL.736 ».
Delete the 587 part VOL files, numbered
from « GT4.VOL.001 » to « GT4.VOL.587 ».
That’s all.
Now you can build a GT4 backup game with
the new « GT4.VOL » file.
Have fun.
VV.
PS: please don’t ask me how to build a GT4 backup game and how to run
it, it’s not my matter. I’ll not answer this kind of questions.
