CRAM, the .bin file is created when you burn the image of the PSX game to your hard drive with CDRWIN... If you haven't already gotten CDRWIN you will need to in order to patch it. So after you've got it click the 3rd picture which is extract disk/sectors and a new window pops up.. Click Disk image/cuesheet at the top, select your reader, and for image filename, name it the same as your disk your burning.. (like madden 2001 on psx is name Madden_2001) most say SLU_002933 or some number like that so just open up my computer and see what the disk says in the drive it's in and name it that.. Just remember where your saving it to so you will now know where your .bin file will be.. Then make sure you ##### mark RAW AND MCN/ISRC and IGNORE on read errors.. The rest are set to AUTO and then click start.. You may want to set read retry count to 2 or 3 unless the disk is in good condition..That's it.. When done, your .bin and .cue file is created.. Browse PPF o Matic to your .bin file and the .ppf file(which is the patch you downloaded) and click patch!! Your done! Just use FIREBURNER TO burn back to disk which you can get at ~####://www.elaboratebytes.com.... You can use CDRWIN but make sure you didn't use a fake serial number or it will burn a nice beer coaster..With CDRWIN, you would click the first picture which is RECORD DISK and then on the next window click LOAD CUESHEET,, browse to your cuesheet and select your burn speed(no more than 4x unless you have a new burner..I burn at 12x and never a problem with mine) and click BURN .. you've just created a patched PSX game. Now if you live in the US then you will always want the patches that say for NTSC as PAL is for Europe based playstation consoles and JAP is for Japanese.. Not very many games require patching unless you want trainers(cheats) or something.. Snowboarders 2001 needs one for example and the patch is a NTSC/PAL selector. When putting it in your playstation, it starts up and it will ask you "PUSH O for NTSC or X for PAL".. Push the button for the console you have. If your not sure look on the bottom and underneath the model number it will say either NTSC or PAL.. Hope this helps and good luck!
