I'm new to game patching.
I've brought back games from USA and am trying to patch them ntsc/pal.
I would like to know what each part of the Image file accuatly is (Cue/bin/P4u)and how they come together??
As this would help me understand what I'm trying to change with the patch.
I've tried patching a game according to the idiots guide and some of it works and some doesn't.
I'm tring to patch rugrats studio tour.
1. EccRegen didn't find anything the fist time it did the seconde and I changed it as recomended.
2. Pal4u 2k made a p4u file
3. p4u patch patched 4 places then said the patch failed.
4. Gamester did changed the region
5. put none of the ppf stuff worked ppfdiz.exe
makeppf.exe
and of couse PPF-o-matic
Once it tried to copy the image back to disc it said that there was unreadable imformation in the first sector.
I followed the guide. I did ##### to see if the game is patchable with pal 4u and it is but with an older version. they do give an address for it. But I couldn't find it.
what I dont quite understand it that all of the patch work in done on the bin/p4u files and it's the cue file that is written back to disc.
I know that this is a bit of a question. I have read as much as I could from all of the linked WEB site, but if I've missed something let me know.
Knowledge is king.
thanks guys!!!
