.XPS patching problem
 

I guess I should say I'm new here since this is my first post ;) ...
Ok my problem is I'm trying to patch a copy of Dance Dance Revolution 2nd mix with a .xps patch...I pull open my MS-DOS properties and insert on the command prompt line C:\XPS DDR2nd.xps DDR2nd.img, apply, ok then I bring up the DOS window and the commands follow out:
opening xps file...complete
opening iso file...complete
searching for system.cnf...failed
Does anyone have any advice on how to get the file successfully patched and what method I'm going about wrong to do it? I have tried the file in .ccd, .iso. and .bin and all of them come back with the same results >_<...any suggestions?

hmmm...anyones advice on this would be greatly appreciated;) ...has anyone ever patched with a .xps patch before? I assume what I need to know is how to get the DOS command prompt to find the system.cnf so it can get past that part of it...if anyone has used .xps patches before can you tell me the method you used to get the patch applied successfully?

presumably you got the patch in a zip file or something, e-mail the whole lot to me [email protected] and I will see if I can make out exactly what to do :)

.XPS patching problem
 

I can zip the patch along with the patching utility to send you no problem, but do you have DDR2 already?...because theres no way that is going to fit in your email inbox ;) ...

I think you need to make the backup image file using Goldenhawk's CDRWin and then use -
C:\XPS DDR2nd.xps DDR2nd.bin

Re: .XPS patching problem
 

Just e-mail me the zipped patch file. I was after either the *.txt file or *.nfo file, or open the file up and copy/paste to here (open *.nfo file in something like notepad)

As blackdiamond has said, for these type of patches CDRWin is normally used to create a *.bin file.

Then copy the patch into the same working directory e.g. C:\GAMES

So in the GAMES\ directory you will have: -
binfile.bin
cuefile.cue
patchfile.xps

Then open up your MS DOS command prompt, change directory to GAMES
cd c:\GAMES

then apply the patch
patchfile.xps binfile.bin

Hope that this is of some help :)
Let us know how you get on

I have been reading up on this today at megagames site.
