Lunar IPS v1.00

posted in Utility Release by mfc on Feb 17th, 2004

Lunar IPS is a lightweight IPS patcher that intends to replace SNESTool. Here are some features:
  • IPS patch creation/application support.
  • full RLE encoding/decoding support.
  • file expanding/truncating support.
  • the IPS encoder creates files that are the same size or smaller than files created with SNESTool.
  • the IPS encoder avoids the rare "0x454F46 (EOF) offset bug" that SNESTool's IPS encoder has.
  • logging feature for applying IPS patches (ROMFileName.log).
  • registers the ".IPS" file type so that you can just double click on an IPS file and choose the file to apply it to for convenience.
  • support for patching files up to 16 MB in size, which is the limit of the IPS format. The files can technically be larger than that, but the IPS format cannot record changes beyond the 16 MB mark due to 24-bit addressing. The IPS file itself can be any size.
You can download this from our Patching Utilities page.
