Hi, just thought I would let you guys know that I have an issue trying to patch up a rom using GE Setup editor. I get an error message that pops up whenever I try to save the newly created patch. I try xdelta patching and then apply GE Xdelta patch and open the Original GE rom and the .xdelta patch for the game I'm patching but then when I create a name for the newly created patch I get an error pop up window right after I click save. "Error: Unknown error patching, possibly input ROM CRC mismatch". That is the message popup window I get. I tried to run compatibility mode with windows XP checked and run as administrator and still had the same error pop up message. Could it be something in the preferences that I checked? Like "Quick convert rom" maybe? I don't know why it gave me this error message when I used this setup editor not too long ago to patch up a rom and i didn't get no errors. Can someone please help?

Which patch?
It either means input GE Rom is byte flipped or not original or patch was made using bad rom.

Well actually to tell you the truth I already had the game patched up on my romslist and it was working well. I told EA that I couldn't get the facility level to show. I didn't find out until later when EA told me I had to beat Dam level to open the Super Marios map! :Face palm

Truth was I never knew that and therefore never beat the Dam level to get it to open the Super Mario Bros. map.

However, I would still like to know what the issue might be that was and still is causing me to get that error message whenever I try to apply the xdelta patch.

Yes I did use GE setup Editor to patch other games up in the past. I recall patching up a game recently not long ago.

The three options are:
1) input rom byte flipped (editor can check this in trim tools)
2) invalid or not original ge rom or compressed
3) person who made patch generated it using bad rom

Maybe ry re grabbing beta. It's possible I broke something but seems ok.

I don't know about the first two but I know it can't be three cause I downloaded the patch on goldeneyevault.com. Heck EA was showing me how to do correctly and I looked and followed him but still got the same error message.

This is the original GE rom I recently downloaded not the one I've been using for quite some time. Here is the MD5 Calculate of it.

Here is the check flipping rom info. It says "unflipped ROM".
