The program knows where to find the data and doesn't use the TOC.

Re: Accessing RAW data on the disk? HOW?

if you read the dvd with a raw mode, then you can read all the dvd data. The files that windows show you are the files listed in the TOC.

When the ps2 boots, it reads the system.cnf file and executes the main program, then that program can access the needed "hidden" data and start the game.

My weblog... not like if there was too much to read on it tho.
For anyone interested, there's a mirc script which converts "/me 's" into " * nickname's whatever" and adds a nice "/my" command.

the reading part is done by the plugin, but the boot process is done by the emu.
