readme

Purpose

This converts Nintenlord's NUPS Patcher to dotnet core so it can be run on Mac and Linux. Only applying a patch is supported, not creating or inspecting. Original readme is at original_readme.txt.

Downloading

Usage

no args

the simplest usage is to move a .ups and .gba file with the same name to the program directory.

./nups_patcher

provide ups file path

If there is more than 1 .ups file in the working directory, you can specify which you want to use. The program will then expect an identically named .gba file in the same directory.

./nups_patcher path/to/file.ups

provide ups and gba file path

if the .gba file is named differently than the .ups file, you can specify it as well.

./nups_patcher path/to/file.ups path/to/file.gba

Output

Unlike the original patching program, no input files are overwritten. A {patch_name}_patched.gba file will be written to the working directory. If run multiple times, the created patched file will be overwritten
