It's a stupid question. ;P

No, there's no stupid question on this forum.
To patch a game, you need :
1) the game (more often, a CDI, ISO or BIN file that is your game's image)
2) a patch to apply to your image (a PPF file)
3) a patcher (PPF-O-Matic or any applier).

You can find 2) and 3) on DC Copy World.

To use PPF-O-Matic just run it, select your image, your patch and click on "apply".

Ok
i've found the proggi but when i will start to patch it comes that message:
" The size of the Image file is incorrect,continue?"
what is wrong?

You don't have the exact image the patch was made for. Be sure you have the same type of file (CDI, BIN or ISO) your patch should be apply to. It should come with a NFO file. That's a text file containing infos.
If you have the same type of image, bypass this message and patch your game. You'll see if it works once burnt.

DC Copy World have almost EVERY existing patches.

Which game are you trying to patch ?
What did you do exactly ? (I mean, I hope you didn't burn your patch, but burn your game AFTER patching it)

It's difficult to find PAL games because most of games were developped for US and Japan. I only found less than 10 games that won't run on a PAL DC. You can found more than 400 games running on a PAL DC. Isn't it enough ?
