I downloaded some iPS & BPS patches for GBA games from Internet Archive, but I don't know which region's version of GBA ROM some of the patches correspond to, so I'd like to ask if anyone has ever developed software to check the version of GBA ROM supported by a particular iPS & BPS patch?

IPS files don't have any of that information, you'd have to see if you can identify what changes and where for every file. BPS on the other hand supports checksum verification of the rom to be patched, so if you open that file in a patcher that supports it, like the online patcher on romhacking.net, it will tell you what checksums the rom should have, and you can go from there.

Thanks for the answer, now that I know what the iPS patch actually is, I'll just have to determine what it actually is by comparing the information of the ROMs patched in.

    You using the Smart camera extention, its nice, centers you on screen but with little lag so feels better than just Center player on screen. You can add/ subject lag amount also.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
