Use the Patch Instructions below to find out how to use these Patches.

The older patches contains an executable (*.EXE) which modifies the CD-Image (so no extra tools are needed). Most of the current patches use the PPF Patch Engine (*.PPF) to apply the patch. This is a separate tool which must be extracted to the same path as the CD-Image and *.PFF file. Sometimes a APPLYPPF.EXE PC PPF Patcher is already included in the Patch Archive then nothing more is needed to apply the patch. For more detailed information on PPF download the latest PPF-O-Matic from PDX.

Patches with the P4U extension need the PAL4U Patcher to apply the patch to a CDRWIN CD-Image.

• First make a CD-Image using CDRWIN (using the RAW-Option):
  • Start CDRWIN.
  • In the CDRWIN - CDROM  Recording Tools window click Extract Disc/Tracks/Sectors to Image File.
  • Enter the Image Filename: <Filename.BIN>
    - for example: C:\TEMP\IMAGE.BIN
  • Leave all other settings Default - make sure the RAW option is selected!
  • When ready click START to create the CD-Image file on harddisk.
    This will create the CD-Image file (C:\TEMP\IMAGE.BIN) and the CD-Image Cuesheet (C:\TEMP\IMAGE.CUE).
• Extract the Patch Archive to the path containing the CD-Image file.
• Open a DOS-Box/MS-DOS Prompt and change directory to the path containing the CD-Image file (and patch).
• Patch the CD-Image file (IMAGE.BIN) by executing either:
  • For the PPF Releases:  Use the PPF Patch Engine
  • For the P4U Releases:  Use the PAL4U Patcher
  • For the older Paradox (PDX) Releases execute:  <GamePatch.EXE>
  • For most Respect (RSP) Releases execute:  RSPatch <Filename.BIN>
• Burn the CD-Image onto a CD-R:
  • In the CDRWIN - CDROM  Recording Tools window click Record.
  • Click Load Cuesheet and select the CD-Image Cuesheet (C:\TEMP\IMAGE.CUE).
  • Click Start Recording.
• When ready: Play the "Patched" Game!
