The openMSX emulator supports on the fly patching. Especially for Disk images this may be problematic, as some games insist on writing to the disk and then the checksum will no longer match. The advantage of IPS to distributing patched images, is that you do not modify the original, the IPS file is normally very small, and you are unlikely to have copyright issues.Ī disadvantage to IPS, is that it will only apply if the checksum matches, so you need to have the correct original file. The specification of the IPS format is available. Patching image files can be done to fix bugs, but can also be used for other things such as cheats, translations or game enhancements. If your software does not have an identified developer in the chart below, a quick web search of the software title should give you some clues on who to contact.IPS or "International Patching System", is a file format, originally meant to patch ROM images, but can also be used with Disk image files. Still no luck? Get in touch with the developer of the software title to see if they can be of assistance. You could always do a Google search to find other software that uses IPS files and download that to try to open your file. Please note that IPS file extensions may not be limited to Game Patch File, IPScript File, or MENSI 3Dipsos only. If that didn't work, go into the file associations settings of Windows, and set Game Patch File, IPScript File, or MENSI 3Dipsos to open IPS files by default. But what if your software does not open the file?įirst, try right-clicking on the file and selecting "Open With." and select Game Patch File, IPScript File, or MENSI 3Dipsos from the dropdown list.
As you may already know, if you have Game Patch File, IPScript File, or MENSI 3Dipsos, you can simply double-click on your IPS and it should open up.
