Can anybody help me patch this IPS?

POIZON THE HEDGEHOG · Nov 27, 2003

I downloaded an IPS from Sonic-CuLt,(the one that makes sonic 1 look like beta) and I'm using ESE to patch it to sonic 1, but when I'm done, it comes up idle. could I have some help?

When you select the ROM, is the file type set to "ALL FILES"?

POIZON THE HEDGEHOG · Nov 27, 2003

I don't know :blink:

POIZON THE HEDGEHOG · Nov 27, 2003

I don't think so

POIZON THE HEDGEHOG · Nov 28, 2003

no, it wasn't on all files, it was on the genesis-32X-mega cd option.
what am I supposed to do?

You patched it wrong and your ROM is broken. =\

Go here http://gerbilsoft.ns01.info:90 and get the Normal Sonic 1 ROM and use SEGATOOL to patch the ISP and ROM together.

where do I get segatool

Sonic 1 JAP is different than the normal Sonic 1 when it comes to the techincal standpoint, so it is not the "same thing" The data is located at different locations so when you patch a IPS ment fora normal Sonic 1 ROM it overwrites the wrong data.

First: HELLO NEWBE!!!!!

2nd: downlad the regular Sonic 1 rom from Gerbel's site. Then, get a ips patcher. Try Stealth Patcher. Find it here! Next, copy the clean rom, just in case you mess up. Then, Patch the rom using the patcher, and save the new rom as a .bin file such as: sonic.bin
Afterward, try the rom, and it SHOULD work.
Don't forget: Use the American version, Not the Japanese version.

(First person to say hello to me, thnx)
and I'll try those, I hope they work

Mecha Mazgoth · Nov 28, 2003

They should, unless I messed somthing up in the instructions.

POIZON THE HEDGEHOG · Nov 28, 2003

The patcher doesn't work, it has to close every time

Can anybody help me patch this IPS?
