Please open issues for any major bugs.\n\n## Download\n\nTo download a binary head over to the [Releases Page](https://github.com/smashedr/rom-patcher/releases)\n\n#### Windows\n\n| Package | Details | Filename |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Installer | **Recommended package** | rom-patcher-installer.exe |\n| Zipped | Main package archived | rom-patcher.zip |\n| Portable | Single executable, slower loading | rom-patcher.exe |\n\nIf you get an error about \"MSVCP140.dll\" missing you may need the latest Visual C++ Libraries:  \nhttps://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads  \n\n#### Linux\n \n| Package | Details | Filename |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Tarball | Main package archived | rom-patcher.tar.gz |\n| Portable | Single executable, slower loading | rom-patcher-onefile.tar.gz |\n\nIf you get an error about \"flips-linux\" not found on a 64-bit OS you may need to install 32-bit glibc++ libs.\n\n## About\n\nThis tool allows you to copy download URL's from SMW Central (and some other platforms) and paste it into the source box; and will download the remote resource, unarchive it, and patch it with 1 click of a button.\n\nhttps://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section\u0026s=smwhacks\n\n![Screen Shot](https://i.imgur.com/zSej6xD.jpg)\n\n## Usage\n\n1. Find a ROM Hack from SMW Central (or anywhere else) and copy the download link. It also may work with the URL from your address bar but is guaranteed to work with the download link. You may also specify an already downloaded patch file or zip containing an patch file. This goes in the first box.\n\nExample: https://dl.smwcentral.net/17289/GPW1.2.zip\n\n2. This is the location to the source ROM from which the patch file will be used with. This file will not be modified, a new output file will be created in the directory specified below.\n\nExample: C:/ROMS/Super Mario World (USA).sfc\n\n3. The output directory where the new patched ROM hack will be generated.\n\nExample: (anywhere you want, maybe the desktop?)\n\n4. Click \"Patch ROM\". The final rom location will display in the status box then you can click open directory to find it.\n\n## Building\n\nYou will need the required `bin` directory with flips for your OS.\n\n#### Windows\n\nInstall the requirements.txt plus pyinstaller then build with:\n```\npowershell.exe .\\scripts\\build.ps1\n```\n\nAfter building you can create an installer with inno setup by running:\n```\nISCC.exe rom-patcher.iss\n```\n\n- `bin`: https://jenkins.imgg.site/static/rom-patcher-gui/bin.zip\n\n#### Linux\n\nInstall the requirements.txt plus pyinstaller then build with:  \n```\nbash scripts/build.sh\n```\n\n- `bin`: https://jenkins.imgg.site/static/rom-patcher-gui/bin-linux.zip\n\n#### macOS\n\nThis app currently does **not** function on macOS due to missing `flips` binary; otherwise will compile just fine.\n\nIf anyone wants to write working python code for bps and ips that would be amazing!\n\n## Third Party Software\n\nThe following open source software was used in the creation of this tool.\n\n#### Floating IPS\n\nThis software uses Floating IPS to patch roms which is bundled with pre-built binaries.\n\nMore information and source here: https://www.smwcentral.net/?p=section\u0026a=details\u0026id=11474\n\n#### PyQt5\n\nThis software was built using PyQt5 by Riverbank Computing Limited.\n\nMore information and source here: https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/intro\n\n#### Inno Setup\n\nThe installer was built using Inno Setup by Jordan Russell’s Software.\n\nMore information and source here: http://jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsmashedr%2From-patcher","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsmashedr%2From-patcher","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsmashedr%2From-patcher/lists"}
