yeah, thought so.
someone explained it to me liek this:

^ = data
_ = space on dye

if you can make any sence of that, i think thats right. ok, so i need to get my games on a HDD asap! I'll have to lend a drive off a friend temporarily. or i could buy one, use it temporarily, then take it back afterwards. hmm, I'll think of something.

do you know of any list of games that need HDD patches? I know that GT4 needs one. any list of known game errors or something would be cool. i dunno, just wondering i am
