Once you have the patch installed, play a video game that can be patched and verify that your No-CD/No-DVD patch is working. If it is working correctly, you should be able to go into the Menu->System Settings->Audio->Audio Overrides, set 'Audio Overrides Enabled' to 'Yes' and then be able to bypass the No-CD/No-DVD patch.
In order for this to work, there must be something in your game's No-CD/No-DVD patch that is different from the No-CD/No-DVD patch that you are using for testing. In many cases, this is because there is something in the game's CD or DVD that is causing your game to fail to load. In other cases, it can be caused by a mismatch in your save state or other piece of information.
Note that your patch might work with some games while not working with others. It might work for games where you have an existing patch installed, but not for games where you have not yet installed a patch.
To verify that your patch is working, use a game that has an existing No-CD/No-DVD patch. There are many good ways to do this:
You can search for titles in the title list on a video game site, and select several of them. Click on the [ ] button to display a list of Patch Notes for those games. Verify that the patch that you are using is there and click on it to confirm that it is working.
You can use your patch for a few seconds (or a few minutes) with a game in play mode. Once you have confirmed that you can play normally, exit play mode and restart the game. If it is working correctly, the game will not display any error messages and you can play for as long as you want.
You can use your patch while your game is booting. If it is working correctly, the game will load and you can play normally.
If your patch is not working correctly, make sure that the problem is with your game and not with your patch. There are several ways to do this:
You can search for titles in the title list on a video game site, and select several of them. Click on the [ ] button to display a list of Patch Notes for those games. Verify that the patch that you are using is there and click on it
