What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded

A browser-based and Node.js ROM patcher supporting many patch formats (IPS, UPS, APS, BPS, RUP, PPF, EBP, BSDiff, xdelta/VCDiff, and more). It can both apply and create patches, and can be embedded into websites to offer an online patcher.

Use cases

  • apply an IPS patch to a ROM in the browser
  • create a BPS patch from original and modified ROMs
  • embed an online patcher on a romhacking site so users patch without downloads
  • patch ROMs from a Node.js CLI script
  • check a ROM's CRC32/MD5/SHA-1 before patching
  • remove ROM headers before applying patches
  • automatically unzip ROM files before patching

When to choose

  • you need to apply or create ROM patches in many formats without installing native tools
  • you run a romhack distribution site and want users to patch ROMs online
  • you want a lightweight vanilla-JS patcher that also works in Node.js

When to avoid

  • you need to patch formats not in the supported list
  • you need a native desktop application with deep ROM editing features beyond patching
