Yeah, you need a newer version of patch and the new .dif files for the newer
headers (notice, everything is newer now).
You can get this new patch, made by Doug Gale, at:
http://webhome.idirect.com/~eschunk/mssdk/rsxpatch.zip
It worked on mine, although lately there have been a few problems with
RSXNTDJ and WinAllegro, I've found it crashes about.  Still, RSXNTDJ works
fine on it's own, if you can make some other graphics library work with it
you'll be fine :-)
If you have any more problems let me know.

Cya,
