OK i've been pondering this a while...

You're right, source code on its own is pretty useless - even if every single line is commented.  However, a doc that describes what we did on game-x is also pretty useless, as its just a guide on how to patch game-x and probably wont work on anything else.

So, this is quite a tricky thing to tackle and I'm not entirely sure how to go about it.

For example, Canon Fodder, LXS, Blood Money, Arctic Moves, Indigo, Lorna and Gauntlet II are so wildly different in the methods and ways in which we patched them that a generic document could never be written.  And in the case of Cannon Fodder and Gauntlet II there were other (non patch) issues because of the HD requirements.

So I guess what I'm rambling around to saying is this...   If anyone can come up with something that might help, suggest it here and we'll try to give it a go if its possible.
