# C6: Setting up the patches

Open up the folder that contains your RPCS3 installation and go to the *patches* folder.

Grab the **patch.yml** we created back in [Chapter 3](https://theroyalproject.gitbook.io/installation-guide-emulator/c3-creating-the-patch.yml) that contains the P5EX and TRP patches and copy that into the RPCS3 patches folder.

{% hint style="info" %}
You'll likely find that there is already a **patch.yml** file in this folder. If you've used RPCS3 for P5 or other games before, it probably contains patches for those. It'd be best to make a backup of this file so you can use them later. And replace it with our created one.
{% endhint %}

After copying, open up RPCS3 (if it isn't already open). Go to the top left and click on *Manage*, and then click on *Game Patches*. The Patch Manager should open up.

{% hint style="warning" %}
If you get a pop-up asking you if you would like to download the latest patches, do **NOT** click yes. Doing this will **delete** the patch.yml we created and replace it with generic patches for all PS3 games. It's best to make a backup file just in case you miss click.
{% endhint %}

In the Patch Manager, you should see the patches we pasted into our **patch.yml** from eariler. Make sure that at the **very** least, you have *The Royal Project Mod SPRX*, *P5EX* and *The Royal Project Patches* all **checked**. Once you're done, hit *Apply* and then *Save*.

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you see **Mod SPRX** in the list alongside **The Royal Project Mod SPRX**, make sure that ONLY **The Royal Project Mod SPRX** is enabled and that **Mod SPRX** is disabled!
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If you do **NOT** see all of the patches listed or you get an error when opening the Patch Manager, you likely did something wrong when making the file. Go back to [Chapter 3](https://theroyalproject.gitbook.io/installation-guide-emulator/c3-creating-the-patch.yml) and follow the instructions **carefully** from the top.
{% endhint %}

We should be all done now, time to move on to the final chapter!!!
