This is probably beating a dead horse, but I just recently downloaded the Patch Suite, but I'm not sure I know how to use the text editor to apply text changes (e.g. "Demi" -> "Gravity") to the iso. I'm using the PSX version.

I've saved the .ffttext file and tried using the ISO/Patch ISO command, but I keep getting this "DTE for OPEN.LZW failed" error message, and nothing gets saved. I've already scoured other forums, searched the net for a tutorial, but haven't found the answer. What are the specific instructions on how to use this editor correctly?

You're text file has become too long, there is a bunch of kanji text that can be removed however, start with deleting all of it and try to reapply.

Check out my ASM thread. Who doesn't like hax?

That worked, until at some point I went back to fix a few more things, and now that same problem is back. I removed all the kanji characters I could find, in the sound novels and diaries and stuff.

I've been watching how much text I'm using, and in a lot of cases, I'm using LESS text. What else could it be?

Nevermind, I found out that it was a missing text string, <File>, just above the beginning of OPEN.LZW. I was following the suggestion of a previous post to copy and move the original and found the missing string.

Good thing I've done programming.
