Didn't need to patch anything. I'd read about a patch for large CD sizes (the PS2 supposedly has a disk capacity limit), but the mod must alrerady take care of it. I can get copies of any game here too, but why should I pay $3 for a backup I can do myself for 6 cents.
Don't have DVD recorder now though, so I have to buy some that won't fit on CDRs. Rock on!
