With manual patching, the IPS patch is permanently applied onto the ROM.

Since manual patching is permanent it's best to keep a backup of your ROM just in case. The patching utility most people prefer is Lunar IPS.

One benefit with manual patching is that it allows you to put the ROM back in a zip file.

This'll save space on your computer, versus SNES auto-patching which requires you to keep the ROM out of a zip file in order to work. You have to use manual patching in cases where two patches need to be applied to a ROM. Of the games covered in my site, manual patching must be used to apply the English patch + the bug fix to 'Front Mission', and the English patch + English dubbing patch to 'Tales of Phantasia'. *Not using Windows? I mention patching utilities for Android and Mac OSX here. Here's how to use Lunar IPS to apply an IPS patch: NUPS PATCHER FOR ANDROID MAC OSX

Make sure the patch is on your desktop and unzipped from its ZIP file.

When you're ready, open Lunar IPS by double-clicking on.

The “Select IPS File to Use” window will pop up.Ĭlick the notch in the top bar to choose the directory or folder that your patch is in.

If you unzipped the patch as I said in Step #1 then you should see it in this list.

When you reach the folder that the patch is in, click on the patch then click Open, as shown here.

The “Select File to Patch” window will pop up.

Just like you did in Step #3 to find the patch, this time do the same thing to find the ROM you want to patch. Note: If you enter the folder containing your ROM and it's not showing up, set Lunar IPS to “All Files” to see it. To do so, click the box in the lower right, then click “All Files”.
