Socom 2 patch problem

[xDASHx]

I'm trying to play Socom2 online via Xlink Kai over lan but i'm in Aus and Pal cant play with NTSC. So i aquired a NTSC version but now my problem is i dont have the patch. I searched the web and think i've found the patch but when i put in on the ps2 memory card it says it's corrupted.
Can someone please tell me what i might be doing wrong

cheers xDASHx

If possible can someone confirm the patch name is APACHE00 and that it is a ZDB flie....1569kb in size. Also i'm useing ulaunchELF to transfer the file from flash drive to PS2 memory card and suspect this might be part of the problem.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

A dud site? I think not. More like your asking for something rare that is near impossible finding now days. And plus, how many people here do you think are still playing an old ass game like socom 2.

IF THE FILE IS CORRUPTED THEN RE-MOVE THE FILE, IT'S NOT FORMATTED TO WORK ON YOUR PS2 USING THE PROGRAMS TO INSTALL IT . HOW ARE U INSTALLING THIS FILE TO THE mem/card ? IS ANOTHER THING THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM . NOT USING THE RIGHT PROGRAM TO INSTALL IT WILL ALSO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM . FYI IM NOT USING THE PATCH ANY MORE, I GOT TO PLAY WITH 4 OTHER PPL JUST FINE THE GAME LASTED ABOUT 4 HOURS WITH OUT GETTING BOOTED OR ANY SIGN OF LAG THE GAME STILL RAN GREAT WITH OUT PATCH FYI IM USING ntsc DISK SO FEEL FREE TO JOIN MY ROOM ANY TIME TO GET A FEW GAMES IN IF YOUR NOT USING THE PATCH . IM ALWAYS ON LINE ID= [ZIP] SUPERMAN SOCOM II , III, CA ''NOTE '' ALL THE GAME'S FOR SOCOM CAN BE PLAYED JUST FINE WITH OUT A PATCH. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU OUT A LIL IN SOME WAY =-] I HAD THE PATCH SAVED TO MY 'MC' AND I ALSO HAD ONE SAVED TO MY DESK TOP NOW WHEN I DOWN LOADED THE PATCH FROM FRIEND IT WORKED JUST FINE I COULD GET ON LINE NP BUT THEN A UPDATE CAME OUT AND HAD TO DOWN LOAD IT SO THE PATCH I GOT WAS NO LONGER WORKING . SO LIKE I SAID NOT THINKING ABOUT IT I DELETED THE FILE FROM MY mc TO MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW TO INSTALL THE PATCH .MY STEPS WORKED BUT ONE PROBLEM =-) OUT DATED PATCH WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO JOIN PPL WITH THE UPDATED PATCH SO SEE MY FRIEND IM ALSO SIT OUTA LUCK IF I WAS TO FIND A PATCH HERE SOON I'LL HIT U UP WITH IT AND SEND IN THE RIGHT FORMAT U NEED TO GET U ONLINE AND PLAYING WITH MORE PPL THEN U WOULD HAVE AN OPTION PULL THE MC OUT LOAD UP SOCOM II TO THE MAIN SCREEN AND THEN PLUG THE MC BACK IN AND GET ON LAN WITH OUT THE PATCH ACTIVE SO YOU CAN CHOOSE WHAT TYPE OF GAME U WOULD LIKE TO PLAY DEPENDING ON HOPW MANY PPL ARE PLAY WITH OR WITH OUT .
