So How Do I play this?

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

I'd say but it may be against the rules.

Should I use

Interstellar travel
Systems and whatnot
Orange agents?
Seriously?

Is it really that hard? RTFM! Here we go:

A. "How do I play Policenauts in English?"
------------------------------------------

These instructions are for Windows, because I don't know of any good Mac PS emulators, although it shouldn't be hard to do the patch on Mac/Linux. If anyone wants to write up a quick set of instructions for that, we will add them to a future version of this file.

Step 1: Get a copy of Policenauts. The easiest thing to do is buy a hard copy of Policenauts from a reseller.

Step 2: Rip your hard copy of Policenauts to the ISO format. I used CloneCD to rip to a .ccd first, then Alcohol 120% to create an ISO using the "Play Station" format. I don't think it's the most efficient way to do it (it can probably be done in one step), I'm just saying that's how we got it to work. It's a two-disc game, so do it for each disc, of course. For ease of use, name the ISOs:

Policenauts1.iso
Policenauts2.iso

(the capital P shouldn't matter; you can rename them after patching anyway)

Put the ISOs in the same directory as the patch.

Step 3: Install xdelta 3:

http://code.google.com/p/xdelta/

Copy the main exe (xdelta3.0u.x86-32.exe or similar) to the same directory as the ripped ISOs and the patch.

Step 4: Double-click the handy-dandy patch.bat and it will patch the ISOs for you.

Optional: If you want to do this from DOS, you can go Start->Run->cmd, navigate to that directory and:

xdelta3.0u.x86-32.exe -f -d -s Policenauts1.iso policenauts_patch1.xdt Policenauts_English1.iso
xdelta3.0u.x86-32.exe -f -d -s Policenauts2.iso policenauts_patch2.xdt Policenauts_English2.iso

Step 5: Play Policenauts

The new Policenauts_English ISOs are the patched copies. Whether you want to emulate or play in hardware is up to you.

It's ok, I guess, as long as you own actual hard copy of the game.
