Dunny, if you can make a small guide limited to maybe 2 jpegs, i can merge it with the "backup precedures" topic, because chances are you will need to do this to backup the newer games.
Maybe in the game size sticky we'll add which games need to be patched by writing (patch) at the end, or something along the lines of that. Then write a side note of what needs to be done at there end of the topic.
For the copy protection patch, get an xbe patcher program. Select the .xbe file and hit the patch button.
It's completely legal, and you can get the patcher at this link:

Ther isn't an official page yet, and xbox-scene hasn't put it in their download sections yet, so that is the official place to get it at the moment.
If you want a user frienly patcher, look on the front page of xbox-scene, or in the news archives.
