I had experienced problems when I tried to apply the patch because I didn't have the original ECHELON RARs, only the SA2 cd (which had the protection). So i went and made a CDI image from the cd i had. Naturally the ppf-matic complained coz my image was different from the original but i went and applied the patch anyway. When i tested the game it did boot, and i was finally able to finish the last story but for some reason it would freeze on another place...

I decided to try one more thing. Since the ppf patch is probably just a modified 1st_read.bin I've copied it from the patched cd and copied the game data from the original ECHELON cd which had the protection. Used echelon selfboot tutorial (11702) and the game wouldn't boot. Tried it with CDRWIN (17000), no binhack,nothing and it worked great ^^.
I hope this helps!
(i.e. use CDRWIN)
