    Patching FAQ

    Q. What is an IPS patch?
    A. An IPS patch is a small file containing the changes made to a ROM.
    Some hackers will release IPS patches to be applied to a certain ROM, whether it would be the original ROM or a hack that was released by the hackers.

    Q. How do I apply an IPS file to a ROM?
    A. A detailed guide on how to apply the Patches to the ROMs, has been written in the "Working with Patches" part of the "Before PLAYING Hacks" FAQ in the Hacks Showcase.

    Q. What is an APS patch?
    A. An APS patch is a very similar file to an IPS file, also changing contents contained in the file onto the applied ROM.
    Similar to IPS patches, hackers may release APS patches to be applied to a certain ROM.

    Q. How do I apply an APS file to a ROM?
    A. A detailed guide on how to apply APS Patches to ROMs, just like for IPS patches, has been written in the "Working with Patches" part of the "Before PLAYING Hacks" FAQ in the Hacks Showcase.

    If this doesn't help, you can rename the ips file to say :"Pokemon Firered#GBA.ips" and the rom to "Pokemon Firered#GBA.Gba" and place them in the same folder, But this only works if you use VBA.
    Have fun~
