Patch for Vrally don't not recognised by ppf

Why won't PPF omatic recognise patch file pdx-vr2c for V rally 2. When attempting to load file ppf omatic gives an error "This is no PPF file"

Right mate, new folder on your desktop, image the game with cdrwin into your folder, extract all the files into the folder, then double click the VR2CRACK

I have saved the image file for VRally2 in a folder and extracted all files for the crack but when I run it a dos window pops up and quickly disappears. Am I supposed to get a confirmation message at all? Without any confirmation message I'm not sure whether it worked so I'm not game to try and burn it as I don't want a coaster. Can you offer any help on the above problem? Thanks

The reason the window closes so fast is that it is opening a DOS box, running the crack which doesn't run properly and finishes, Windows then closes the box. The crack is an older one, so if you open a DOS manually. For example if the image file is called image.bin and is in my c:\temp directory.

Change to the drive with the crack on ( letter then : enter, ie c: enter). Then change to the patch directory, using cd\ (ie cd\temp enter). (I was not sure if people could get around DOS anymore!)

When in the directory type: vr2crack vrally2.sin c:\temp\image.bin
You have to type the full path to the image file. It should do this pretty quickly, then just close the DOS box and burn the image. I did have a duff copy of the crack that gave an error when doing the above, make sure you get the one off megagames.com

L8ers, Jobb!
