Basically ppfomatic opens fine, but when i go to apply the 1.3.0.6 patch it just says "patching cd image now, hold on" and that's it. That's my problem, unless this is normal but I watched the tutorial for installing it and it didn't seem to take nearly that long to patch.

I've waited 20 40 mins one time and tried multiple different fft iso files and tried using converters to turn img into iso. Not really sure what else to do at this point.

Thanks in advance.

It will take time dependent on your PC. I don't think it's based on the processor speed, since I patched a ROM at work on a vastly superior machine and it took ten times as long than on my home machine. Just let it go overnight and see what happens.

Google FFT ISO and try patching that

Patching takes a few seconds, not minutes

And make sure you're downloading everything from this site

Yeah, I don't care how bad your PC is, it shouldn't take more than a couple of seconds to patch. If even that. It's gotta be the ISO. It's always the ISO. Good thing there's like a billion of them out there.

Be sure that the iso isn't flagged as read-only, too.

Isn't that for linux?

Or something may have screwed up with your ppfomatic. I would try redownloading that before getting a new iso as it'll take less time to aquire.

Okay it must have been a problem with ppf-o-matic because i downloaded a different version (it just says ppf-o-matic3 instead of ppf-o-matic30 like the one that you can download off this site) and it worked, even though it took like 30 minutes for it to apply the patch. Thanks for the help guys.

Thanks man. Yeah i'm still confused about what the problem was, especially since it still took 30 mins for the patch to apply but i'm just happy that it worked.

Yup, sometimes, dependent on your PC, it will take an absurdly long time to patch, even if you have everything correct. I don't know what causes it, or why, but there you go.
