i have coppied dance dance 3, and you don't need a patch. you must use a boot disk as the psx will think it is a music cd ( you do have your psx chipped don't you). Download one from www.megagames.com. what ever you do don't use the boot in pal mode as there is a 10 sec delay between picture and music if you do, use it in normal (off). p.s. where did you download it from as i want dance dance 1.
