tried out your patch. got a clean Iso i've ran for years replaying the game. Used ppfomatic as well to patch with v1.04. This is what occurs for me:
bugs:
1. Paladin/Squire Radd/Ladd, colors on Radd/Ladd in the opening scene change when he kneels to original squire.
2. Vincent (Simon) changes back to Simon to catch the knight in first scene.
3. Agrias runs out to see what has happened from there the game freezes never to continue.
Other info:
other dialogue is missing from this opening scene. (I'm not sure if this is on purpose or a bug but I'll make note of it here.)
