G'day, I been reading through the thread looking for answers to a particular hang that im getting with a patched version of SOA on Chankast. Just as i meet bellena at the port to get on her ship in CD 1. As I walk up to her the screen fades out to black and a sound clip starts and repeats, but black screen stays.
I have tried all the workarounds you guys have mentioned, No Button Mashing, CPU really high so sound is sync'd and CPU really low so it goes really fast, but nothing seems to work.
If there is anything else i can try, It would be fantastic, but I would be just as grateful if anyone can give me a save somewhere near after that point.
BTW: I own a working dreamcast, and a copy of SOA, though the CD is scratched to hell, well loved, and will not work.

Hi, i've been looking for my problem on the thread but it seems that nobody has this prob :angry:
I can install Daemon Tools 3.29 but each time I try to run it it says: Virtual Driver SCSI Not Detected.
I've also Daemon Tools V4.00 installed on my comp.
Can anyone help me ?

Please Help!
I really need somehelp with this game. I follow all the instructions, and it says it is patched, but the files are not there. This has something to do with DOS not creating the soapt directory doesn't it. I would like to know how to fix this problem. The xcopy thing doesn't work, but the file is in Windows and is the right size. I am using the NTSC version of SOA (echelon).

Patcher doesn't work for me?
I have both CD1 and CD2 .cdi files mounted with Daemon 3.29. When i run the patcher it detects the .cdi files, and starts patching them. after about 5 minutes, the patcher completely stops and doesn't make anymore progress. I have tried this with just mounting one disk at a time, but i have the same problem every time. Any ideas? Thanks.

I waited for a good 40minutes and it finished for me, but the wait was for nothing because i checked the patch folder, i checked cfg folder, i checked the Fastboot folder and NOTHING related to CDI images were in there even when it said it ''youll find your files in teh soap drawer'' wherever that is, theres nothing.
Anyone know what could be wrong

wow, i cant believe so many people are having problem with the patcher. When i first got the patcher about half a year ago i only patched cd1 and it worked great. maybe im just one of the lucky few who got it to work on my comp, or maybe the people having problems should try patching only cd1. It seems like cd2 is whats giving everyone problems, ill have to try patching it later.

It's been a while since my last post...
I'm not sure why the files dissappear. If you check the folder while the patcher is doing its job, you will see the file, plus if you refresh the contents you will notice its size grows. What happens is that once the file is completely patched it gets erased. I had this problem too, and I believe it is realted to the NTFS file system. Every time I patch it on my NTFS disc/partition, it gets erased. When I patched it on my FAT32 disc/partition it was ok, and it played just fine. This is just a speculation though. Someone who has discs with both NTFS and FAT32 should try and post his results.
My patching just needed 10 minutes if not less on a 2GHz PentiumIV, 768MiB RAM @ 133Mhz (DDR) and a ****ed up hard disc (completely fragmented) of 40GiB.
Do not change your hard disc's file system to FAT32. That would require formatting, which in turn means that all your files will be erased (on that disc). Instead, find an older disc that you don't use, format it using the FAT32 file system and then pach it there. It should do the trick!
