I own YsF, but after reading about the pirated copy where data.ne was removed, I decided to test some stuff out. First, I ripped the ISO like normal, but using UltraISO, I removed the data.ne file entirely. With this image, YsF didn't work. So I generated a completely blank file with Fsutil. For those who don't know how to use it, I input fsutil file createnew C:\data.ne 3221225472 into the command prompt. This generated a 3gb junk file. With UltraISO, I put this blank null file into my YsF image into /YSF_WIN/RELEASE/
When I ran YsF again with my new image, it worked.

Note: I'm not posting this for the sake of privacy, merely for the sake of curiosity. Good day!

Edit: By the way, where is the very easy patch on falcom's site. I can't find it. Also under the patch 1.2.0.3 link, there's a link to lhasa.exe. What is that?

Lhasa is like Winzip. Only in Japanese, and less user-friendly.
	Indeed, it's AV time.

Not that I want it. Just curious. Beat YsF last year on Normal, so VE and E difficulties are kinda silly at this point. But what's the reason for making the VE patch difficult to find?

It was released at the same time as the 1.2.0.2 patch. I thought it was included in the 1.2.0.3 patch but apparently it wasn't.

That is, is it possible to run 1.203 and 1.203 VE at the same time? Or does 1.203 VE already contain all of 1.203 standard?

Finishing Ys 6 PSP has gotten me in the mood to reinstall YsF. But... perhaps I should wait for the translation patch, and hit up Ys I & II Complete instead...
