If you've updated FFTPatcher versions (or are using an older version), there may be files that you need that aren't present.

It looks like an error relating to XML, did you customize any of the *.xml file hacks or anything else with that file suffix?

If you did, could you open them in Notepad and count the number of open arrows "<" and close arrows ">"? If they aren't the same, you accidentally deleted or added one. The find or find/replace functionality should list the number of occurances of a search string, if not download notepad2 or notepad++.

Wow, I'm so glad someone responded to this! Great to see 13 years doesn't change much.
So I think it's the xml. I found 3 "<" less in the Pride.xml, but there's thousands of lines. Is there an easy way in Notepad++ to locate them?


EDIT:
I got an XML Tools plugin for Notepad++.
I ran a syntax check and all of the .xml files in the XmlPatches folder are fine, no break in syntax code. This makes sense since I didn't touch them lol.

I can't copy/paste, but the first+second line of the error it gives me says:
"An error of type System.Xml.XmlException occurred: System.Xml.XMLException: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1."
Should I be looking at different .xml files?

13-year later bump...

I know there's been no responses so likely no one cares, but I received this same error and lost my entire patch (100+ of hours of work) to an error I didn't think possible.
I still have the patch but I can't load it. Any way to go around this error, attempt to load it, then resave it in an effort to restore all of my hard work?

I really wish this was a thing, too. It would be nice to enjoy my patch on my iphone and not just through an emulator on my PC. From how old this post is I doubt it will ever happen, however 😅
