Patching Wave 4 To Wave 3

    What's the easiest way to do it? I tried out one way earlier and I ended up with a coaster. :(

    I'm thinking of trying out another way but I don't want to waste anymore discs.

    why would you want to do that? booting with activate.iso takes 5 more seconds than usual and the new iXtreme LT is just around the corner.

    Patching a Wave4 game to be a Wave3 could result in a banning - there is a reason why abgx and other tools verify the wave partition sizes to make sure they correspond with the original game.

    As said above, use a one-shot boot DVD (Activate.iso), patch to 1.61 if you can, or just wait it out. I can patch to 1.61 but I'm not going to until abgx is updated. Paranoia? Perhaps, but better safe than sorry :D

    Pretty sure that IXtreme 1.6 WONT load wave4 games that are patched to wave3 due to strick anti ban tactics - just use activate or get 1.61 (if its a lite on it should be out soon, allready out on other drives)

    as far as i know you wont have to use the probe to dump the dummy file again
    it will just read it with JF
