Sword of the Berserk

Hi all.
I was wondering what SPECIFIC downloaded utilities are needed for the Sword of the Berserk patch to work. I have the Self Boot Kit, but reading the text document, it sounds like everything will need to be entered manually. Am I right?
Here's what the text says:

"For all who want to have a selfboot-CD of this
Utopia BootCD release with perfect videoplaying,
just use this release to set the videofiles to the end
of the CD so that the videos play 100%!
1. Copy all Files of the Utopia BootCD version to your HD,
2. Insert a Dummy (000DUMMY.DAT)
Filelength 5.500.000 Bytes for a 80min CD-R (79:59min!)
3. Rename the file EIDOS.SFD to ZIDOS.SFD
4. Rename the file BERSERK2.SFD to ZERSERK2.SFD
5. Replace the original 1_READ.BIN with the 1_READ.BIN
included in this ZIP!
6. Use the ECHELON Selfboot kit to create the CD.
7. That's all! ;-) "

So I take it by "copying everything to my hard drive" it means copy and paste (and not CDRwin). Then it wants a dummy adder, which I take it must be a manual one and not an automated one like the kind I use. (What downloaded program should I use for that?) Then I just change some file names and extract over a file and everything's ready to burn via DiscJuggler.
So I guess my main hold up is which manual dummy adder works best?
Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

You need this "Fix" only if you want to have a selfboot version with perfect Video playing!
The 1ST_READ.BIN is edited to load an intro movie called "ZIDOS.SFD"
After changing the name of EIDOS.SFD to ZIDOS.SFD, the file is tottaly at the outside of the CD after burning. So the Video plays faster!.
Without this "FIX" you have a selfboot version of this game with a stocking video at the beginning.
For the Dummyfile you can use a tool called "newfile" for DOS!

Thanks for the tips.
So the weird glitches can be fixed simply by moving a file? What programs should I use for this process? How?

Question

=> Extract the files with CDMage. Replace file and burn it.

I kept mine non-boot.

Darkfalz is on a distinguished road
That patch is a piece of **** waste of time. No need to hack up binaries and rename files, just use a sort!
