Yep, got same problem. Patch begin, ends successfully....and poof. Nothing happens :( Just one thing, I saw the temp folder while patching (soatp), and in there, a big iso that disappears when patch finishes.

hey, is it normal with the patched echelon version, that you see nothing when a battle ends (the table where it says how much exp you gain etc..) I always see the characters, but not how much exp & stuff they gained

To jerry87: Check whether the bios and flash files get corrupted. See another thread for more info.

To mazonemayu: You need to activate the ZWrite and ZWrite Alpha options in the emulator.

Thanks for trying to help me Dark Mits, but the bios isn't the problem, because i tested the cd1 again and worked, and i tried in another copy of emulator.
If you or other person has any idia, please, tell me.

Do you load the CD2 image in the same drive as CD1? If yes then the patching must have gone wrong. I assume however that you have retried patching CD2 alone.

No need to thank me, I just happen to see these posts here and I do want to help others play this gem among games. I myself hadn't played on the console and I have finished it 4 times on Chankast.

Did you check if the unpatched version was correct, ie. not defective? It should be 813.047.730 bytes large.

Aika-san (the creator of the patch and this topic) had posted long ago that there is a program that checks CDs for problems and stuff. You have to "wade" through all posts here to find it. If you still can't find it, search the net. There are a lot of programs doing that job, you are bound to find one at least.
I replied to your PM.

Hey, the problem was the cd2, i found another image, and this one worked,so if you are with the same problem as mine , search another cd.

You need the Dreamcast BIOS files. You can't ask where to get them since it is against the board rules.
