Hello i tried patch the game using .XPC file from http://frs.badcoffee.info/patches.html in real msx with Turbo update but when i used EXECROM.COM the msx tell me that i need MEGARAM to apply the patch, then i tried it with XPCAPPLY.EXE util from XPCTOOLS, making the patch process from DOS some questions asked me like invencible mode, weapons, etc but the result of apply the patch is a 129K file, this file dont work in msx... i´m wondering how could i try to patch the .XPC right, or if there is .IPS for this game, anyway i think is most important find a way to try the .XPC patch files because there is a lot of that, and the option to select the kind of cheats meanwhile is patching like XPCAPPLY.EXE works is great, but i didnt find yet a way to make this works, i tried some .IPS files and no problem.

I read about change the size of the result patched file using dummy file if the game run obn emulator, i´m wondering if this is the problem...

Please if anyone knows a way to try .XPC patch files from PC or MSX without MEGARAM cart will be a great thing!!

Thanks.

I think that is possible Patch games with .XPC files using Openmsx because this could be configured to use MEGARAM, but i dont know how try this.
