Question for Sisco-1 (or other clever dc users)

You posted a little tutorial for my mate webwesa about a patch for sports jam. After following your instructions I still had the same initial problem. I think that this particular patch doesn't work. The patch on this site has a broken link so I was wandering if you know how to create a patch for sports jam or where to get a working patch from? Also, out of interest, why does the game need a controller fix anyway???
