Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone could help walk me through using the Ys 4 patch. I have the game and the site with the patch but I really don't know what to do exactly. I'm not too good with things like this or computers in general. I don't like emulators and such. I'm used to just throwing a game in my system and playing it. thanks in advance guys.

There's a perfectly good explanation on how to do it in the readme file. Did you read it?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Ripping a CD image of your Ys IV disc
---------------------------------------------------------------------
First, you must have a bin/cue or iso/wav/cue image of the CDROM.
The .bin file size MUST be 771,213,744 or 772,634,352 bytes. The
mode1/2048 .iso file should be 67,420,160 bytes. If you have this
already, skip to the next "Applying the patch" section.
A quick visual guide is available here:
http://rigg.servegame.com/pce_duo_ripping.htm
a) Get/install CDRWIN at http://www.goldenhawk.com/download.htm
b) Get/install latest ASPI drivers, if need be:
http://download.adaptec.com/software_pc/aspi/aspi_v472a2.exe
or, http://rigg.servegame.com/software/aspi_v472a2.exe
c) Insert your original PC-Engine CD of "Ys IV-The Dawn of Ys".
d) Run CDRWIN and Click on the Extract button.
e) Select the CD Reader with your loaded "Ys IV-The Dawn of Ys" CD.
f) Check RAW, Abort for Error Recovery, Enable for Jitter
Correction, Quick for Subcode analysis, data/audio speed 1X,
read retry 60, & SubCode threshold 300.
g) In image filename, click the browse button(the one with "..."),
choose a working dir location & save the image name to Ys4.bin.
h) Click START.
i) After the rip process is complete, make sure the Ys4.bin
file size is 771,213,744 or 772,634,352 bytes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Applying the patch
---------------------------------------------------------------------
a) Verify that your .bin file is named "ys4.bin" and the file
size is exactly 771,213,744 or 772,634,352 bytes. Or if you
have an iso/wav/cue set, verify the iso is 67,420,160 bytes.
b) Copy the contents of the patch (YsIV(US)vXX.cab) to the same
folder as your ys4.bin or ys4-02.iso file.
c) Simply double click "PATCH.BAT" to begin the patching process.
If it fails, use PATCHBAK.BAT.
Now, you can either burn the image to CD-R & play the game on a
real DUO/PC-Engine, or you can mount the bin/cue with a utility
like Daemon Tools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc/), and play it with
an emulator such as MagicEngine (www.magicengine.com (http://www.magicengine.com/)) or YAME
(http://rigg.servegame.com/software/yame038e.rar).
Most of all, enjoy!

And if you have a PC you can use TurboRip to copy the game into an ISO/WAV/CUE format. Once this is done, you can apply the patch and burn the game back to disc/CD-R.
