Hi Alex!!

I am really interested on trying the Super Patch, but don't know how to
do it. I want the TV-Out feature, and now I can see the source files on
your web, but don't know how to do with them...

I have patched something before, but .patch files... you know...

If you could give me some help...
Thank you very much, 
and sorry for my bad English...

Oh, I have a Thinkpad T41 with Ati Radeon M7 7500
