I have no idea why it works. But when I don't follow those steps, I get BSOD every time. Even when the patch is a un-changed/un-hacked
If I do the hack with a clean patch, goto splitscreen to test it out (which obviously it will do nothing since the patch in unhacked) then go back to the FTP server, copy the file off the PS3 to my computer, then straight back again. Go back to MW2 mutiplayer and I will get BSOD.
So whatever happens when I delete the patch and re-download/install seems to make a different for me.
