Patches

[Slugger]

I have a copy of Metal Slug X for PSX which is NTSC. My Playstation is however PAL. I have never used patches before, and want to know if this is the correct way to put the patch on:

1. Copy the game to your hard disk
2. Add the patch
3. Write the game to a CD

Also where do I put patch? Do I replace another file with it, or do I put it in a specific directory?

Thanks

1. Copy the game to your hard disk

ANSWER: Use CDRWin with default settings to copy the CD to hard disk as a BIN file

2. Add the patch

ANSWER: Apply the patch using PPF-O-MATIC downloaded from http://www.megagames.com. If the source CD is the same version of the game to which the patch applies, a success report will be displayed. If the files are reported as a mismatch, dont was your CD-R by burning the result.

3. Write the game to a CD

ANSWER: Using CDRWin and the default settings.

Also where do I put patch? Do I replace another file with it, or do I put it in a specific directory?

ANSWER: PPF-O-MATIC places the patch in situ and the patched original on hard disk is burned back to CD-R.

For best results, avoid the patching; do a straight copy and buy from Maplins an NTSC to PAL convertor.

Thanks
