Please make a .exe patch for sh4, 3 has one,and 5, Im sorry but I cant get along with sh5 and ubi crud. Sh3 is ok,But I for one love the pacific war, I dont have any of the ability to make one. With TMO and other mega mods etc. .It could still be even better with a patch.Please consider making one.Not the no cd patch, but like the one for sh3 that fixed alot of long standing problems that mods could not.sort of a fix to the exe. to unlock things devs left undone.

no idea either, maybe he means a no-cd patch(needless to say, its unnecessary...)

Are you talking about something like the Realism- and gameplay-related hardcode fixes for SH3.EXE by h.sie?

I don't believe anyone on the SH4 scene has the ability to do this.

The people who made the patches for SH3 and Sh5 invested an enormous amount of work and talent in those products. The modder has to use a program to decode the machine language (ones and zeroes) into a best-guess approximation of what the low-level programming language might be intended to look like. That's far more difficult to work with than the high-level language the developers used. No comments, no variable names, no guarantee you aren't looking at a "translation" of a bit image that had no code in it. It takes skill, talent, patience, and cleverness beyond what I possess. And I made my living for 25 years designing and building operating systems. (Like Windows, only better!

) You may notice that exactly one person has reverse-engineered sh5.exe and one person has done so with sh3.exe (although h.sie passed on his hard-won knowledge to Stiebler, who continues to carry it forward.) There was never enough interest in SH4 by people with the skills and motivation to do that kind of work. And, unless someone falls down from Heaven and decides to take on sh4.exe, what you are asking for will probably never be done.
