Do not use rented games, they have their own protection put onto them!

I wasn't aware of this - I have rented lots of PSX games from Blockbusters and the CD's look to be original games (they look to be exactly the same as the purchased version).

I can't imagine seperate games would be processed just for renting!

I always rent the games and have never had any trouble. Mission Impossible and F1 2000 were rented from Blockbuster and I had no errors applying the patches! The only trouble I have is with Crash Bash and Spyro YOTD.........

my friend has patched rented games sucsefully you just need to make sure that it is the same country ie not spanish pal but english pal etc! when you boot up a cd it has a volume labe check it matches the ones in the patch specs!

so when i wanted to backup dino crisis from blockbuster and used the ntsc patch on it and it still didn't work it might have been a game from a different country thats y it didn't work?
