Depending on the game, there are two appproaches.

The other is something you're probably more used to - the patch is a separate program that needs to be ran in DOSBox and directed to the original files so that it can modify them.

2) For the img.ecm, do I just use that as my .ISO for mounting on Dosbox, then? What do the other files do?

Run UNECM.BAT and wait for it to finish - then you'll have a useable image. ECM extension indicates the image has been additionally compressed using that compression scheme.

My noobness continues - when I run ecm.bat, the command console flashes (I assume the .bat unecm command executing), but nothing happens. What error am I making?

EDIT: Never mind, After failing many times, I ran it again after posting, and it worked. Deep magic, man.

So, now I have a .img file. Do I use that as an .ISO, or do I convert it to a .ISO type?
