To patch or not to patch........

[coyw]

I have been reading as much as I can but fair point. I did use your search function when I first started on this forum and it works very well. The first problem I had was with Grand Theft Auto and after searching I found someone with a similar problem and that was where my first post was. After the replies from some very nice helpful people I soon found that it was nothing to do with needing patches but more a case of buffer under run. After more reading on the subject I worked that one out.

I tried searching to find out why all the patching when most games appear to have no protections but I couldn’t work that one out. Ok I was a bit naughty with future posts as I soon realised that the knowledge of your users was way beyond me (a complete novice / idiot!) I wanted to find out more and take a shortcut (smacked wrists). I will read, read, read, from now on but please excuse me the odd post.
