Not sure about patches yet, but for option files:
>There should be a file, named similarly to this, thought not necessarily exactly: BLES00110EEDIT01. It will contain a bin file 'DATA' and a couple of others, including an image file
>Put this folder into a folder called SAVEDATA, and then that folder into one called PS3, and then put that onto USB
>On your PS3 interface, select the Game tab, Saved Data Utility, USB Device, and you should see the image of the option file on there just copy it
