Hy all,

I was initially dismayed that Some of my games came up as a fail for the patching program 2.44. The games apparently were not supported e.g. "Need for Speed", "Super Bust a Move", etc.  Even though the roms were confirmed good dumps with Good Roms.  I ran them through the patcher and it created sav and instant save folders for them and they appear to run fine. I havent tried the save states as most are arcade conversions and have no need for saving.  What does the patch do?

Thanx,

Thanx,

the "patch" column refers only to patching the game to save to s-ram. Most of the time when this "fails" it's because the game already automatically saves to s-ram and thus doesn't need patched.

Thanx for the reply :) , I thought that was the case.
