Everytime I rip apart my ISO with UMDgen and re-insert the fftpack.bin back into it, FFTpatcher won't patch it. It says its Unreconziged as an WOTL ISO.
Do I always have to have a fresh ISO to patch with?

I don't know, but I keep a copy of the fresh ISO in my FFTPatcher directory for this reason...

Wait a tick.
None of my ENTD changes are happening.
I patch it, then insert my new sprites.
But when I just patch it, my changes work fine.
So you have to choose? Sprites or Patch?
BTW here's a link to my patch. http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmes ... c=42872440 (http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=937312&topic=42872440)
You can post suggestions there or here.

The only relation between the sprite files and the ENTD files is that they are in the same folder. How are you importing the files?

1. Use FFTpatcher to patch my ISO.
2. Use UMDgen to extract fftpack.bin
3. Use FFTpatcher to extract the contents of the pack.
4. Edit the .SPR files in the BATTLE folder and the UNIT.BIN
5. Use FFTpatcher to rebuild the pack.
6. Use UMDgen to re-insert the pack.
My ISO is not patched but my sprites are changed.

That sounds correct. Try patching the iso after inserting the sprites.

I get errors after that.
It says file isn't a reconzied WOTL ISO.

I have .236 of fttpatcher and 4.00 on umdgen.
What do you have?
I really want my patch and my custom sprites!
And what does the option ti decrpyt the iso do?

Just a quick question Vanya.
Are you patching your ISO with the patch function or just messing with stuff you can apply with the CHEAT.DB?

Patch. I haven't done a lot other than tweaked some values and swap effects.
I've been busy with my Warrior sprite. But I'll do a little experimenting later this week. I'd do it just as soon as I finish fixing my warrior, but tomorrow is my 3 year anniversary so I'll be doing no work at all.

Congrats on the anniversary.
Well, I made enough tweaks without the ENTD to make the game harder.
If anyone else has suggestions, please post them!

What do you mean by mini-bosses, like dragons in the plains? Are you simply referring to the fact you'll run into dragons in the plains? If so, I suppose it's sort of like a boss early on, but ... it'd still be easy to fight with just chcobos and goblins abound. Had it been something like an entire fight of dragons, I could see that, but then where's the boss?
You know what I mean? Even seeing a Hydra is like, wow, there's a Hydra, but if it's only one of them...

They are either above you in levels or have the Zodiac Monster box checked.

UMDgen is the only one for PSP, and Vanya said he got it to work.
EDIT:
^ This right here. I should have read this a couple more times.
You have to patch your iso first. Then get all the folders from the fftpack.bin from your patched iso and change those.
I was overwriting the entire battle folder with files from a unpatched iso.
*hugs Vanya*

Well, I wasn't trying to rub it in, really ... I can understand why you did it, but you have to admit it is a little ironic. I'd probably laugh at myself for doing that, but I didn't mean to offend.

It's not enough that I'm trying to explain myself and apologize? I have to be perfect or something? *Sighs and rubs my face*I was just pointing out how someone (like myself) may read that statement. Perhaps both your and my comments should've been kept to pm's.
