Most homebrew developers publish their patches with the simple instruction of “Apply the patch to a ROM”.
Make sure you source your ROMs ethically. I will not be linking to any libraries/repositories for this reason. Step 2: Get your source ROMĭisclaimer: it is illegal in many places to download copies of games that you do not own. The only difference DeltaPatcher.exe and DeltaPatcherLite.exe is that the lite version only allows you to apply patches, while the full version lets you create them as well as apply them. If you’re curious about whether to use the lite or full version, it doesn’t really matter. I’ve tested it on Windows 7 and 10, but I’m not sure how well it works on Mac or Linux. Note that this is a Windows 32-bit program. Step 1: Get Delta Patcherĭownload Delta Patcher from the official website or from a mirror on N64 Squid by using the password “deltapatchmirror”. This is the most common type of patch used to distribute hacks online. Since all of this belongs to the original owner, the homebrewer only provides the new code that they developed. For instance, a hack of Mario 64 would borrow assets such as characters, stage or even the game engine itself. Since game hacks contain large portions of the original game, you can’t really distribute them without breaking copyright. No fear! This simple guide will help you patch it up so that you can get your hack up and running in no time.Ī patch is a file that contains the differences between a ROM hack and the original game ROM. Say you’ve found a great homebrewn ROM hack for the Nintendo 64 but it comes in a format that you can’t play because it’s distributed as a patch.
