Patch Help Anyway to check if the game is copied properly

[sixtwo]

I wanted to know is there anyway to apply the patch to the image and then check to see if the game will work before burning it to the cd. Anyway to know before wasting cds by burning games that dont work cuz i wasted 4 cds burning Spyro 3. Was there a way i could have checked if the game was worked before i burned the game.
