BASIC PATCHING GUIDE FOR PES4
This is a guide to patch Pro Evolution Soccer 4 on the PS2. The PC game is much easier to patch and generally instructions are included with individual patches.
First of all you need to use your original PES4 DVD to make an image onto your PC and then patch it. And you need a DVD-burner with blank DVDRs.
1. Downloads.
You will need to use these programs
a)DVD Dycrypter,

b)ppf-o-matic3 (also known as pdx-pom3)

c) CD/DVD burning software such as Nero or Alcohol120%.
d) Plus the PES4 patch you want to use - such as the jonboyo one found here.
Most patches come compressed as rar files so you need to check this thread to find out how to unrar (uncompress) these to give you the actual patch files which are .ppf files.
2.
Create an ISO from your original PES4 dvd game using dvd decrypter or other ripping program.
a) Put your Original PES4 dvd in your PC dvd drive
b) Open DVD Decrypter, go to MODE /ISO / Read
c) Choose your destination folder eg origPES4
d) Press the go button (dvd->Harddrive symbol)

This gives you your original ISO.
3.
Open ppf-o-matic3.
Select your ISO file from above (by clicking on the small disk pic and locating the file in its folder).
Select your .ppf patch file (again by clicking on the disk image).
Click Apply. Wait for the ISO to be patched.
If you also have patch update files, you can now apply them to your ISO as well using the same method. Select the same ISO and the next patch and click Apply.
Read the instructions that come with each patch to see if there are any other methods or techniques you need to use when patching. This is the most common and basic method usually used.
4.
Now you are ready to burn your patched ISO image.
I tend to defragment my hard disk at this point. Then you should shut down all other programs (or better yet, reset your PC).
Open Nero or Alcohol120% and select the Burn As Image or Burn Image option. Select your patched ISO file. Insert a blank DVD-R and set the speed to be as slow as possible as this is better for the life of your PS2 laser. If you use cheap DVDR types and/or fast burning speed, this is not good for the life of your PS2 laser. Set it to burn and leave it for a while. It will take time so be patient and don't mess with your PC otherwise there is a chance that the patched disk won't run.
Once it has burned you can now play your patched version of PES4 on your modified PS2 (using either a chip or a fliptop lid or a slide card - more details on this over here).
If you can follow these instructions, you will soon be playing PES4 looking like this for example:
(thanks to jonboyo's 10th october patch for PES4).
You can get jonboyo's PS2 PES4 patch from here.
This is a basic and simple guide to patch PES4. If you have a dvd-burner and a modded PS2 then you should have very few problems.
