Yeah this is the thing. The patched executable is on the .HDF, without the CD-ROM mounted this is what starts the game and also what has been patched to pass the code protection screen.

With the same .HDF and the CD-ROM mounted, the game is still started with the patched executable off the .HDF, after level 1 though it seems to load the executable from the CD-ROM instead when displaying the code protection screen.

Anyway, will play around tonight when home
