I also have a probelm of my own
Im using windows xp, Daemon Tools, 3.29, SOA Patch 3.01, Echelon rip of SOA but dont knw what kind.
When I patch it then mount and run Chankast this is what happens
It first looks like its going to load the game like this

Then after 1-20 seconds
It goes to the menu like this

If I keep pressing play it will reapet
#1 looks like its going to load SOA
#2 reverts back to the menu...

grate patch works a treat with windows sp2
tips for patching
when he says use deamon tools 3.29 then use it (doesn't work with latest version, well didn't for me)
set number of drives to 2
mount both images (pal version)
UNRAR SOAPactcher V3.01 to C:\SOAPatcher v3.01
and start patch, click CONTINUE
if it finds the files click BEGIN PATCHING
next and this is very important
leave the PC alone while it patches, running things in the background (IE: searching the web/reading forums and generally using system resources while its patching is a big no no)
wait for it to finish then go to C:\SOAPatcher v3.01 folder and u will have in there two very nice looking CDI images mount the first disk into Daemon tools and fire up Chankast
enjoy
and also thank aika-san for making the best patcher in the world
arty:
(cant wait to see what one he does next)
hellsling, you need to re-add your bios, you have corrupted it, don't set the time on it as Chankast cant emulate the DC clock so instead it corrupts the bios, reinstall the bios and try again

nope u can do both at at the same time, or you can do one after the other, but if you are doing one after the other, once one has done remove the first one BEFORE you try the next one or it will delete it....
also explain what you are doing in detail and i might be able to help you
IE
iv unzipped the patcher to c:\patch blah blah blah mounted file name.cdi in daemon
and done blah blah blah
(please note the words "blah" need to be replaced with the things your doing)

Well....I unzipped the patcher folder to c:\ , I mounted file DC - Skies of Arcadia(Echelon) CD1.cdi( I tried using daemon first then alcohol afterwards...). The .cdi file was in c:\Downloads(one of my folders). When SOA cd 1 was mounted, I started up the patcher, clicked on "BEGIN PATCHING" and left my pc alone, it seems to have finished(or not) the patching in around 20 minutes and told me to check the SOApatcher folder for the new .cdi file, but when I checked there.....nothing different...and one other thing, the reason why I want the 2 cd files of SOA patched one at a time because when I select more than one virtual drive, the pc crashes....

right do you have space on your hard drive would be the next logical question
u need at least 5gig free, also if you haven't done, try re-downloading the patcher
also move your ISO's to just the c:\ directory and try again, I'm not sure but going on what you have said about the motherboard being poop u might need to update your IDE drivers (but don't quote me on that) to get more than one drive in daemon as it uses IDE controller information from your motherboard to host the drives
if you need to find out how to get the motherboard information then click this link and download Sandra install id and run motherboard/mainboard module, it should tell you who its made by and what chips it has so you can update your motherboard drivers

Do the patching on someone else's PC. The patcher does not work on all PC's. I'm not sure why, and I don't get time to do any programming any more. I'd love to fix all the bugs in it, and one day I might, but for now I gotta stick with other stuff that has higher priorities. Just understand that the patch doesn't work on every computer.
It's good to see that it still works for the majority of people though.

The non-echelon version (ntsc-u) isnt fully playable in chankast yet, if thats what u ment. If you want an already patched version i dont know anywhere to get one but think it would be a good idea if people started sharing the patched version somewhere... and im not exactly sure what to rules of this forum are so i wont say any more than that for now.
