how to apply shining force 3 patch?

[bultje112]

ok this is a real pain in the ass. I lost my translated scenarios that I burned some years ago and the files are on an old pc packed away. and even more annoying is how the sf3 translation team are so anti bootleg it's ridiculous. so I ask here.

I have the iso of scenario 2 downloaded. I have the patch downloaded. however in their faq is only explained how to apply patch to original cd. I don't have them anymore. I only have the original scenario 1. here they explain

1. Place the original game CD in an available CD drive.

2. Launch ISOMAKER 2.exe

3. Select the game CD you are patching and click the Make CD button.

4. Double click the drive the game CD is in.

5. Wait for all the Dos command windows to finish. Do not attempt any other activities while the Isomaker is running. This can cause errors in the ISO.

6. The SF3.ISO and SF3.CUE files will appear in the folder with the ISOMAKER 2.exe

7. Use Daemon Tools to mount the .CUE file and run with an emulator or burn the ISO to a disc for use in a modded Saturn.


now I was thinking maybe I could mount the iso into thinking it's an original cd? could that work? and would I not neet a cue file for that? I only have bin file and 1kb disc image files whateve rthat is/

Try making a cue file with that program, then mount the iso?

I don't really understand what files you have now though, a bin and what? normally its bin/cue.

gimme some file names!

Daemon tools can mount many different formats, if you have just a raw.iso that can be mounted.

As to if it will work, it completely depends on how the ISO was made, and how the patch is programmed. If it knows it's not the original disk somehow it could spit an error out and not work.

I have 2 cue files somehow. one says v2.0 which I suppose is the latest one

The cue file is linked to the BIN file. They need to match up as the cue references to the BIN.

It's possible they only updated the CUE file in reference to the same BIN, but it very well may not work at all.

Give me the complete file names, you either have an iso and a cue or a bin and a cue, if you have 2 cues then someone fucked up when naming it.
