Title: Mercenaries patch help!
Post by: Lionheart on July 20, 2010, 04:44:08 am
Hello All, im new here and am trying to get Mercenaries to run but i can't get it to run. I started a new game just after the beginning (2n battle where you control Ramza and have Delite as a guest). I extended the iso (which i applied it to the FFT iso) then i applied it to the Mercenaries, everytime i go to the 1st battle of the game (not the one with agrias and gafgarion) the game screen goes black, but the music still plays. can please help or tell what iam doing wrong? or is there a tutorial on how to? thanks  :)

That is definitely a strange error... I've never heard of such a thing. My only thought is to start fresh, use a backup of the ISO, extract it, First Extend It, Than Patch it with the Mercenaries Demo.

Thanks LastingDawn Im looking forward to you're patch when is finished. So I extended the iso (which becomes 800mb something), then i patch it with the Mercenaries patch? Btw am using PPF-O-Matic30 to extend the iso and patch the Mercenaries patch not sure if am doing something wrong. Thanks again.

Yep i extended it with shishi sprite editor and then idk what to use to patch if right after (im using PPF-O-Matic30 to patch the mercenaries patch right after when i extended). 528,629kb thats the original size of my FFT iso after i extended it with it becomes 539,738kb after i patch the game i notice the iso file doesn't get bigger for some reason.

The patch isn't supposed to change the size of the ISO. I suggest you scrap that copy, and get another one, the ISO itself might somehow be bad.

Well thats weird when I patched the FFT ISO with the 1.3 patch it worked, idk I must be doing something wrong with the Mercenaries patch. ok what program do I use to patch the Mercenaries patch? I think im skipping a step, anyway possible you can tell me a quick rundown from the beginning to the end? thanks

Hello people! I'm new here and wish someone could help me, early on there already appears Orbony Monastery starts playing the music and suddenly to, and then Ramza appears in a dark room and soon a Priest "Squolar" there will already for a battle, only when it comes to the time of the attack Ramza the fight ends, and then appears the world map, but there is nowhere to go. It may be something wrong that I'm downloading?


Thank you.

The Mercenaries patch is known to have quite a few bugs since it wasn't completed, and probably won't be for a while. Sorry. :(
