Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
If a ROM medium is mounted on a media drive and a request for executing an application is received from an input device, a read controlling unit controls the media drive so that the media drive reads out a patch file from the ROM media and installs the patch file on a hard disk drive. After the patch file is installed, an execution processing unit applies the installed patch file and activates the game software.
