The file i was referring was a piece of the original file, because it's better to work with the 800mb file splitted than the whole file, as it requires too much memory and CPU. The executable patch is only about 18kb (if it were 50mb, then there'd no reason to create a patch, i just would have work with the original file w/out making patches).
To clarify things, the file structure looks like this
El volumen de la unidad C es AMD
El n£mero de serie del volumen es: 6078-F1FB
Directorio de C:\Megaman\Ivan\ps2\dvdLoader

20 archivos 907.044.864 bytes

so NETBIO00.DAT is the sum of all NETBIO00.DAT.XXX (I'm currently translating NETBIO00.DAT.013. Sorry about my spanish version of WinXP  . there, directorio means 'directory', libres means 'free' and archivos means 'files' ) |

¿Capcom nunca ha traducido sus juegos a español?
Pendejos. 
Seriously, it should be a requirement that all game companies do that. |

Thanks for your advices, but i found this program. It's used to make cracks for executables, but it didn't show any problem to make a patch of any binary file. (my file is about 50 mb) |

CD-TOOL, a program used for creating patches for PSX and (I think) PS2 games, should be what you're looking for. It's not the most intuitive program to use and requires you to write scripts that do the patching for you, but I can almost guarantee it'll let you create a small patch for your game that can be used on either a Windows or Unix based computer. |

Actually, IPS supports up to 16MB. You might have to make your own patching program specifically for this, though. I made one a while ago, if you want it, but you have to manually enter all the hex data and offsets into the source code so it probably won't do you much good. |

I'm hacking the text of an 800mb file from resident evil outbreak file 1 (translating into spanish), but the patch makers i found are primarily IPS creators, and a patch maker named NINJA. The problem is that IPS only adresses up to 4MB and NINJA makes wrong patches (I've tested making a patch comparing 2 files the same size and verifyng that the changes appear in the offset that i modified). I patched the original file and made a backup, but it patched in the wrong position, producing a mess. So...are there another patch makers that do the work right?
PS: The only solution that i found was to copy and paste the modified area and saving into a temporal binary file, with the offset from where i extracted it saved in the file...but that gets annoying when the number of pieces modified increases, making a copy/paste process too slow. |
