So, I want to patch NBA JAM T.E. with NBA Jam TE - Air Jordan Patch. So, here's what I do (according to the instructions):

1. I open PPF-O-Matic
2. In the ISO File field, I choose the original NBA JAM T.E. (Track 1).bin file (the largest).
3. In the Patch field, select the NBA Jam TE - Air Jordan patch (.ppf file).
4. Click Apply

It says "The file has been patched successfully" but when I open the newly patched file in WiiStation it says "size 0 mb" in the description and gives me a black screen.

What am I doing wrong?

Have you made sure to verify the checksum for the ISO, and for what filetype that it uses?

First of all, how do I do that if patching online on romhacking.net doesn't work for big files and I don't know any other way to verify that.

Secondly, I tried patching like four different games - same result. I am pretty sure that I got it all right and something else is wrong.

I wouldn't recommend patching the ROM online. The page for the patch should have a MD5 hash or similar, you should be able to use something like PowerShell to generate the hash for your ROM and compare it to what the site has.

    No it's revenue and demand south park could argue has a bigger audience than family guy about the same

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Family guy is worth 300mill south parks worth 1Bill according to the interwebs
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, probably cuz family guy is more disliked compared to south park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It just does the same formula south park can press buttons without going overboard
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    And bc most of the family guy budget is spent on the voice actors rather than on the animation
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Southpark could spend 30k on a animated dick and people would laugh at it
