it took some time before i figured it out too. i used blizkick for some time, in fact on one of the machines i still use blizkick, but it loads the custom rom in first place instead of applying single patches one after the other. i havnt tried loadmodule hard, but i remember sweeting on figuring out the sequence of patches in blizkick. its much easier to put a custom kick together. believe me.
edit: äh sorry i havnt noticed ur nick before. i see why you wont use a custom rom. lol
