In general, it's best to use RetroArch for auto patching because it supports it for a wide range of video game systems. If the emulator you're using doesn't support auto patching, or if you're not sure, then skip to the next section talking about “manual patching”. That I know of, the follow emulators support auto patching: RetroArch, Snes9x, VBA (Visual Boy Advance), and ZSNES. They both must be unzipped and in the same folder. It can automatically patch the game if the patch and the ROM have the same filename (don't change their file extensions). “Auto patching” (also called “soft patching”) is a feature that some emulators offer. In any case, to have these experiences you need to apply an IPS patch to a video game ROM.Īuto Patching with RetroArch, Snes9x, and VBA ROM hacks such as hacks that increase the game's difficulty, rearrange all the stages to create an entirely new game, or replace the dialogue with perverted humor.
