2. How to apply the patch
----------------------------------------------------------------

First you'll need a Multi-BIN/CUE rip of the Operator. I suggest 
following redumps ripping guides to get a rip in this format.

You will then apply the patch to Track 1(the smaller of the two tracks). The patch is in xdelta format, so you'll need to use a patching utility. I'd recommend using DeltaPatcher or DeltaPatcher Lite. Using DeltaPatcher apply the the patch as follows:

	1) Select "SegaSaturn FDD Operator (Japan) (Track 1).bin"    		as your original file.
	2) Select the patch file included in this zip as the patch
	3) Click Appy Patch.

If that all went well you should be ready to go using your existing cue sheet.

3. Known Issues
----------------------------------------------------------------

There is a known bug with the Video CD Card. This patch converts the region of the Disc to the US Region. If there is a region Mismatch betweent he VCD Card and the Disc currently in the drive, you can crash your Saturn by going into the System Settings Menu, and then trying to exit back into the CD Player.

While this technically will happen with any disc that is of a different region from your Video CD card, you're more likely to encounter it with the FDD Operator as it acts as an extension of the Saturn Bios and allowing you to easily go back to the CD Player Screen and Access the System Settings Screen.

If this really bothers you it can be avoided by patching the disc to match the region of your Video CD card. The downside to that is that you will need the ability to play discs from the same region as yoru Video CD Card.
