Notes

A problem with the European version whereby it continually asks the user to insert the CD (even though the CD is in the drive), which seems to occur mostly with certain types of Pioneer CD-ROM drives, will be fixed when a version of the patch which can be applied to the European version is complete. Due to the European version having copy protection, and the US/Australian one not, version 1.01i of the patch will not allow itself to be applied to a European installation. The European version will require some communication with the copy protection company. (I’ll coordinate this and produce a European patch when I have the required components).
