About
EZ ROM Patcher is a free browser-based tool for applying patch files to game ROMs, producing modified games such as fan translations, ROM hacks, bug fixes, and restoration patches. Patching runs on the user's device, and the maker says ROMs and patches are not transmitted to a server. Supported formats include IPS, BPS, UPS, APS, RUP, PPF, BSDiff, xdelta/VCDIFF, EBP, and Star Rod .mod. A separate patch creator compares an original ROM with an edited copy to make IPS, BPS, UPS, APS, RUP, PPF, or EBP patches. The checksum tool calculates CRC32, MD5, and SHA-1 hashes and compares them with pasted values or checksum files. ZIP archives can be unpacked, and users can choose a patch if an archive contains several; RAR and 7z files need extracting first. The site says it works in mobile Safari and Chrome, though large disc images may exceed a phone browser's available memory. Users provide their own ROM files, and no account is required.
Who it is for
It suits people who have their own ROM files and need to apply, create, or verify patches in a browser. Mobile users can use it in Safari or Chrome, subject to browser memory limits for large disc images.
What is good
- Patching runs locally without uploading files
- Supports IPS, BPS, xdelta, and other formats
- Creates several patch formats from ROM comparisons
- Calculates CRC32, MD5, and SHA-1 hashes
What to know first
- RAR and 7z archives must be extracted first
- Large disc images may exceed phone browser memory
- Some patch formats do not record a checksum
Verdict
EZ ROM Patcher combines local patching with patch creation and checksum checks at no cost. Users need to supply their own ROMs, and some formats lack checksums for validating the base ROM.
