...I'm just a self-taught programmer, learning what I need to get a job done and then forgetting what I'd figured out. The details do come back to me if I were to pick it up again, though, so if you tell me where to look I can probably tell you what I'd learned.I made the patch over 20 years ago. I should still have the hard drive somewhere. If I recall correctly, the localizations weren't very difficult to implement. A few of the dialog scripts were corrected -- the RUDE files. Is this what you're looking at?
The patch is intended to be used on the original distribution of the game. I'm guessing that's what you're using. When Ubisoft bought 3DO and re-released MM9 they used our patched version.
