ea swap fix patch

[kenorb]

I've successfully backed up a (EA) ps2 game which appears to be working OK but have since found an "EA swap fix" patch for the game (PAL).

Without sounding stupid, what is an EA swap fix patch and why do I need it ?

Originally before the direct boot chip such as messiah came out
and earlier chips were being used,
E A games would not work without first applying the patch you mentioned.
Each game would have it's own patch and would be applied to the game using a program such as ppf- o- matic before it was burnt to cd-r.
If your game is working ok then you don't have to worry about it.



Argo.
