ROM Patcher

Post by xperia64 » Mon Mar 03, 2014 8:14 pm

So I've made an Android app that is a collection of various ROM patching utilities, thought I may as well post it here as I've translation-patched a few DS games with it for use with DraStic: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... rompatcher

It supports the following patch types:
  • ASM (SNES)
    BPS
    BSDIFF
    DLDI
    DPS
    IPS
    IPS32 (same as IPS but with messily hacked in 32 bit pointers)
    PPF
    UPS
    XDELTA1
    XDELTA3
It also supports ECM files (decompressing only).
For those of you who care, the app is fully open source: https://github.com/xperia64/android-rom-patcher
Also, it is the first open source implementation of IPS32 AFAIK.

My favorite reviews so far:
How does it work? Please, what should I choose as a patch? Help!

No extension I just patched pokemon sienna on pokemon fire red and it didnt have any extension

Why does it say unrecognized gba file in the emulator and it says that the patch is successful
You utter morons.

Additionally, a review of my midi player:
Bad sound No midi files sound good, I prefer my old Nokia phone as midi player
Aren't completely subjective reviews the best?

Ok, .nmp is a lot more involved than I thought it was going to be. I have to port a lot of DS filesystem specific things, because .nmp just replaces files within the ROM, it isn't a generic binary patch format. Also it's C# so I can't just compile it a native library. Rewriting it in java is probably easier than setting up mono just for this one format.

Also, another excellent review:
Doesn't recognize any of my patches as patches so I'll just manually do it
So are you going to manually go through and apply the patch with a hex editor :lol: ?
