ROM Hack Patching on a mac

[mcjazzy42]

Noobish question, would appreciate any help:
Apart from using bootcamp and virtual software, is there a way to patch ds files on a mac using the patches here?

Beyond that I would like to thank everyone who puts their hard efforts into this...SRW is good without a translation, knowing what's going on would make it even better.

Cheers

Most of the patches posted are xdelta or IPS, both of which are available for OSX.

The official xdelta site (http://xdelta.org) appears to be down, but a cross-platform IPS patcher can be found here: http://zerosoft.zophar.net/jips.htm

do you mean DLDI patching? well there is software for the mac to do that , the application is called DLDI drop. If you mean IPS patching im sure there is a few apps for it 2, but i never patched any on my mac.

Wow, thanks for the fast replies..
I'll look into it and get back to you..i think its xdelta

For IPS patches you have UIPS and IPS Patcher.
For xdelta and bsdiff just download sources and compile them.

Edit: Beaten to it

Another link for xdelta: http://code.google.com/p/xdelta/

Okay i gave a try to patch mugen using jips..probably completely the wrong thing to do..but to be honest i have no clue what im doing anyway. Im trying to patch mugen and soma bringer...mugen uses a bdf? file and soma is xdelta. I have no idea how to compile these things.
Any suggestions? Thanks for the help btw

Alright, I got a friend with a mac to write a patcher for Soma Bringer. Please verify whether it works.

Fantastic, after realising the need to rename and place the patch in the same folder (idiot that i am) it worked! Thank you DN and thank your friend as well.
Can i rewrite the command string to get it to work with other xd files? Anything i can do about a .bdf file?

Anyway I've got to dash to Uni, but cheers for all the hard work.

.xd is a meaningless filename that I picked myself. The patcher should work with any patch created by xdelta if you either rename it or edit the command string.
Can't help you with bsdiff, sorry.
