CamKneely Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I don't know why they don't work when downloaded from a site, but I figured out (with the help of orangeblack) how to get patched games to work in netplay without desyncing. The first player needs to take the rom, apply the patch, and send it to the other player (or players). DO NOT change the name of the rom. Don't change anything about it except the patch application. This should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavers33 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 we did that, though...shouldn't it have worked when we tried it earlier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CamKneely Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 we did that, though...shouldn't it have worked when we tried it earlier? No, I renamed them. That causes problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddy Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 i renamed an NHL94 bin file to what i wanted, then i patched it after that. works perfect now!! just cant rename after you patch it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamKneely Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 Yeah, that's kind of what I meant to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamKneely Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 After further deliberation: download whatever rom you want to patch. Rename it to [rom]patched.bin. Patch it. Then send it to your opponent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smozoma Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 thanks for figuring this out : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiddy Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 After further deliberation: download whatever rom you want to patch. Rename it to [rom]patched.bin. Patch it. Then send it to your opponent. you can name it whatever you want prior to patching it.. i named the one we use "NHL 94(Playoff Edition 2011).bin" just played about 8 games with the other guy who got the file from me, plays perfect. just once you patch the file, you cant rename it..

LA Robbie Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Guys, I don't really understand this whole "patch it" stuff, but really want to play the 2011 clockwise rom online! Can someone put an "absolute idiots guide" up for me?!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
