I'm kind of a newbee as well, but here's a quicky to patching
firstly you need to have a copy of CDrWin
What you do is then use the Extract disc to a file on hard drive
do this at a slow speed (They say 8x, but 2x is the max i use)
you need a patcher program that you can download from
http://www.megagames.com/psx/psx_utils.shtml
as you've got the patch downloaded it should be just a case
of using he patch program on the bin file created
once done, all you do is use the record option on CDrwin, clicking
on the Load cue sheet and find the file you've created. burn it at
a slow speed (normally 1X), and that should be everything sorted
out
