Patching Tips

  • Use the Correct ROM Version: Check the hack’s page for the exact base ROM (e.g., Pokémon FireRed v1.0 vs. v1.1 or specific NDS ROM). Mismatches cause patching errors.
  • Extract Zip Files: Patch files are often in `.zip` archives. Extract the `.ips`, `.bps`, `.ups`, or `.xdelta` file before uploading.
  • Choose the Right Patcher: Use the GBA Patcher for IPS/BPS/UPS patches (GBA ROMs) and the NDS Patcher for .xdelta patches (NDS ROMs).
  • Mobile Patching: Both patchers work in mobile browsers. Use a file manager to upload ROM and patch files.
  • Backup Your ROM: Keep a copy of your original ROM in case patching fails or you need to retry.
  • Check File Formats: GBA Patcher supports IPS, BPS, and UPS. NDS Patcher supports .xdelta. Verify the patch format on the hack’s page.
