GUIDE HOW TO DEAL WITH .RAR-ARCHIVES (by Zyg)
Patches are usually too big to download as a single large file. So patches are compressed using WinRAR. This converts a .PPF file into one or several smaller .RAR files. To uncompress these and 'join' them to make the patch again, you need to use WinRar.
Get WinRAR from www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Install WinRAR.
Make sure you've downloaded all the parts of the patch.
Double click on the first part of the patch, which usually ends in ".part01". Or just the first RAR file you see in your folder.
WinRar should open. If it doesn't, try right-clicking on the first .rar file and open it with WinRar.
Right. Once WinRar is open, the second option in the top bar is "Extract To". Click on that. It then lets you choose where to put the unrared (uncompressed) patch file. The default option for this is a new sub-folder of the folder where the .RAR files are currently stored. I usually just click OK here.
Now wait for the patch to unrar (or uncompress).
Once done, you will see a new folder and in here will be your patch as a .PPF, possibly with a small document about the patch. Now you have your .ppf patch you can apply it to your game using ppf-o-matic 3 and away you go
Summary:
Download patch.
Double click on first part of patch to open WinRar.
Click on "Extract To".
Select folder (Click OK).
Wait for it to unrar.
Go to the new folder and check you have a .ppf file in there.
You can also try the "Test" option to see if the unraring process will work - this doesn't unrar for you, it just checks that the files are all cool and that it will work. If you have any problems, try this option. If it doesn't want to unrar, there may have been an error with your download. Doing the "Test" option should let you know which .rar file contains this error. So you should download that part again.
Happy unraring. And happy patching

PATCHING
The most patches come along in ppf-format, these files are easy to handle and there shouldn't be any problems.
There are many ways of creating images and burning, so I'll post only my method here. For PES3 you first need to rip your DVD to CD size, so you don't have to follow steps 1+2, start with 3. Check the ripping guide here on the forum if you want to know how to create a ripped image of PES3.
1. Get CDRWin from here, I use version 3.9d, but I think the important functions will be the same in almost all versions
2a. Go to "Extract Disc/Tracks/Sectors to Image" -> extract mode "Disc Image/Cue sheet" -> select the drive you have your original (unpatched) WE7 in, select the folder you want to save your image to, name it WE7
2b. Reading options -> RAW
Error Recovery -> Abort
Jitter Correction -> Auto
Subcode Analysis -> Auto
-> You'll get WE7.bin and WE7.cue (cue should be always in the same folder like the bin)
3. DL your patch and ppf-o-matic 3, you can get it from here
4. Open ppf-o-matic, then load your image and your ppf patch and click on apply, wait a couple of minutes, you should get a "patch succesfully applied" message
5. Open CDMage, you can download it eg from here -> "file" -> "open" then select your patched image, "mode M2/2352 track (bin....)" -> "scan for corruption" -> repair and rebuild damaged sectors if necessary
6. Open CDRWin again -> "Record disc" -> "Load cuesheet" (select the cue from step 2b.) ->"Raw mode" -> "speed 4x or 8x" -> "start recording"
Alternative solution if you have fireburner:
"import tracks from cuesheet" -> select your WE7.cue from 2b. and your WE7.bin will be loaded automatically into Fireburner -> "configuration" -> "device option" ->
- burning speed 4x or 8x
- session at once
- leave session open
- autocorrect sub-channel
- disable test-burn
-> "create CD" -> "burn"
Note:
Some PES3-patches need to be applied not to the image but to the data_e.afs, so extract the data_e.afs with CDMage, apply the patch like in step 4., but to the data_e.afs, then import the patched file back into CDMage. Read always the readme file of the patches.
