Hi I own the game and would love to eventually run it, but i am afraid of over-patching, if its even a thing. How should I go about getting to the 2.0 patch? Do I need Homebrew? is there just an Option for patch?

You should have internet and should be able to reach 2.0.0 easily. I'm afraid it will not allow you to just play the game with up to a certain patch (like 1.3.0 or something along those lines).

I don't know when they started to patch out skips and stuff like that, but currently the World Record uses update 2.0.0, so either just stick with 1.0.0 or go up to 2.0.0.
