Okay, I have an ISO of Simpsons Road Rage, I copied it onto a DVD I used a recompiled version of ESR patcher, that was supposed to work with Macs. I patched the ISO (supposedly). I burned the ISO onto Sony DVD-R 16x, I burned at 2x speed and 4x speed. neither copy worked, but ESR boots originals fine.

So I've narrowed it down to the issue being the ISO (which I doubt, I have 2 copies that are supposed to be fine).

The DVD's (which I doubt), Im trying Verbatims later.

So maybe its my version of ESR patcher, Does anyone know ANY way to patch the ISO's on a Mac?
I dont have access to a Windows computer at all.

Thanks

Run Windows using VMWare Fusion or Parallels and patch the iso from there.

The Simpsons Road Rage is a CD game (at least mine is). You''ll have to recompile it to a DVD version with this tutorial. As you can see, the guy in the tutorial is running Wine for Linux, so something similar for a Mac should work too in theory. I think there's a port of Wine for a Mac somewhere.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
