    There should, on games with anti-piracy and other things, be the 'normal' download and the 'pre-patched' download. With that confusion could be cut and frustration could be released. I know there was a suggestion to mention the patch on the details page right below this post, but if you had the automatic download, the 'how do I patch this' question wouldn't present itself over and over.


    Just a thought. (and a damn good one you should do!)

    Unfortunately the answer to the piracy patch is not the same across all cards. It's so much easier to just host the clean dump and then tell people how to patch it for their specific card.

    What works for the R4, may not work for the DSTT. What works for the Edge, may not work for the CycloDS. Etc. etc.

    Ya and they should charge people with points.

    I reckon at least games with translation patches like jump ultimate stars should have that option...saves time, and charge points...


    Idiot proof the whole thing lol!

    Or we could make pre-patch games (the security ones) and put them ALL on (yep every type of card still in major use), charged as big downloads just so the site don't become flooded with lazy people like me XD

    No, I'd rather teach a man to fish than give him a fish everyday.

    There are patched GTA China Wars available in the Trading Station, I believe.

    No I can't getbuck, that's not what I want RomUlation to do, if you run Mac you should be able to run a windows environment, or dual boot or something. If you don't know how to do that then you'd probably be better off on Windows anyway. I'm not a kindergarten teacher who will hold your hand and drop you off at your parents doorstep every night. I'll give you a push in the right direction and then wish you luck, if you get lost then oh well, I'm not paid well enough to be a baby sitter.

    And that was a lot of abstract talking...

    I hope it was how to patch and not just that there is a patched version in the trade section, because with an R4 the patching knowledge is going to help you loads. :)
