The Patcher64+ tool is a program that initially designed for patching N64 ROMs (Virtual Console or Console copy) to include save states and other functionalities. However, it now supports NES and SNES consoles as well.

The tool operates through a command-line interface and is coded in C++. Its primary function is to modify ROM files by introducing support for the 64Plus memory expansion and the Pro Action Replay (PAR) cheat code format. These modifications allows you to save the game progress and manipulate the game's behavior using cheat codes.

Features

  • Patches ROM or Virtual Console WAD files with patches.
  • Can switch to either Wii VC or Native mode.
  • Wii VC mode handles VC WAD titles while Native mode handles ROM files directly.
  • Native mode skips most of the code used in Wii VC mode, which results in a faster patching.
  • Supported ROM files can be found in .NES, .SFC, .SFM, .N64, .Z64 and .V64.
  • Only supports the N64, NES and SNES consoles currently.

User guide

What you need

Requirements:

  • Own a copy of one of the supported US ROM or VC WAD files.
  • Any N64 ROM, NES ROM, SNES ROM or VC WAD game you own for Free Mode.
  • (Optional) Own a copy of a modified ROM for Custom Injection.
  • (Optional) A set of .bps (Flips), .ips (Flips), .xdelta (Xdelta), .vcdiff (Xdelta3) or .ppf3 (ApplyPPF3) Patch Files for Free BPS Patching.

System requirements:

  • 64-bit.
  • PowerShell 5.1 or newer.
  • Windows 7 or newer.

For Windows 7/8.1:

  • Download and install WMF 5.1 from here
    • Windows 7: Win7AndW2K8R2-KB3191566-x64.zip
    • Windows 8.1: Win8.1AndW2K12R2-KB3191564-x64.msu
  • Initiate a reboot after the installation is done. Running the launcher will now work.
  • Optional: After installing WMF 5.1 and rebooting the system, download and install the latest PowerShell-x.y.z-win-x64.msi from here and enable "Add Run with PowerShell 7 context menu" during installation. Right click the .ps1 file > Run with PowerShell 7.

For Windows 10/11:

  • Run the launcher or right click the .ps1 file > Run with PowerShell.

How to use

Launch the patcher by right-clicking and selecting "Run with PowerShell."

  • In the "Current Game Mode" tab, choose the console and game. Opt for "Free Game Selection" to freely inject or patch a ROM using a patch file for any Wii VC WAD file.
  • Drag and drop your WAD file or select it using the [...] button.

Use checkboxes in the "Virtual Console - Patch Options" tab to apply specific patches to your Wii VC WAD game. Certain patch buttons automatically select corresponding checkboxes.

  • Apply and customize Redux and additional language options if available.
  • Optionally overwrite the Game/Channel Title and GameID by checking the checkbox, or follow default values set by the game patch buttons if unchecked.
  • The "Patch VC Emulator Only" option applies chosen fixes from the "Virtual Console - Patch Options" tab. Custom Channel Title and GameID are supported.
  • For custom ROM injection, set a ROM (.NES, .SFC, .SFM, .Z64, .N64, or .V64) by dragging and dropping or selecting it with the [...] button.
  • For free patching, set a patch file (.BPS, .IPS, .Xdelta, .VCDiff, or .PPF3) by dragging and dropping or selecting it with the [...] button.
  • Click a game patch button or press Inject ROM/Patch BPS. Wait for the patcher tool to finish.

The patched ROM or WAD file is created in the original file's path, preserving the original.

Keep in mind that:

  • Patching Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros., Paper Mario requires their respective modes (not Free Mode), since both VC WAD titles have applied specific compression to their ROM and Boot DOL.
  • Free Mode and Inject ROM will not work with ROMs not meant for their console mode for the Wii's Virtual Console.
  • NES titles require the console mode to be set to NES mode due to their ROM file being stored differently.

Options included:

  • Change between Native Mode (uses regular ROM files) or Wii VC mode (uses .WAD files)
  • Change between Consoles
  • Change Game Mode for a different set of included patches
  • Patch a ROM or Wii VC WAD file with one of the included patches in their respective game mode
