my burned games won't work

Not sure on the patches avaliable for this game but the main patches will most probalby fix the protection, you might also be able to get some with trainers attached on them.

Trainers are very simaliar to game enhancer CD's which allow you to adjust the Live's you have in games E.t.c except they live on the intro of the game so you can select which one you want everytime you load the game.

You can also get NTSC/PAL patches these allow you to choose which fromat you are going to play the game in.
