Xenogears patch help....
 

hi

i downloaded the xenogears patch from megagames.com (its an .exe patch) when i open it , it asks for the dir of the game, so i put it in and press enter, when i do that it closes.....what do i do...?

heres a link to the file if it helps in any way...

thanks

thats a *.p4u patch (PAL4U)

create your *.bin file using CDRWin

Use the Pal4U application (available from megagames site), select your patch and *.bin file, then click "go for patch"

burn your patched *.bin file back to cd-r using CDRWin

are u sure, the patch opens in an MS-dos window...

dont know how u r getting a dos window with pal4u patches!
just do what paul said and get the pal4u patcher!

its not a ".p4u file" its a .exe ms-dos file, just download it and see what i mean, its only 500k, maybe thatll help, i posted the link in an earliar post on this page

I d/l the zip that you linked to in your 1st post, un-zipped it and it was 2 p4u patches, one called Xenogears disc1.p4u and the other called Xenogears disc2.p4u

oh man.......i linked the wrong file, sorry

heres the one im talking about (man im sorry bout that)

ok bud, if you have not used these sort of things before they can be quite difficult :)

in the release note it says the following...

I'm guessing you could do this 2 ways: -

1. Extract the zip file into the same folder as your CDRWin *.cue and *.bin files (somewhere like C:\Game). The open up a MS DOS command prompt, select the folder as your working area (cd c:\game) then use the command fix.exe and it will apply the patch to the bin file.

2. Double click the fix.exe file, it asks you where your *.bin file is located, type in something like c:\game\game.bin (obviously using your folder & file names) and it should apply the patch.

Let us know how you get on :)

omg.....now it says "couldn't open the ISO file"

any suggestions?

what exactly did you do to get this error message?

man o man, i got it to work, and i burnt the game, and everything was fine, i messed around with the files and the msdos untill it finally said, "patched successfully"

lol (dont know how i did it, but i did)

thank all of u guys for the help, i really appreciate everything!!!

:D

glad to hear that it worked alright :)

if you can remember the steps that you took to apply the patch, and you fancy knocking up a small tutorial (with pics if you can), send it to me and I will add it to the sticky on patching within this forum, this way it will help others who have this type of problem in the future :)

I'm having problems with this too >_< So please do let me know if you work out how you did it... cause I'm pretty damn screwed here >_<


EDIT - Fixed it!! Seems it only lets you type in the name of the file itself, not the command... for example - 'xenogears.bin', not 'c:\game\xenogears.bin' ... so you obviously gotta open a command prompt and go to the directory manually.
