![]() ![]() Tired of IPS patching with a desktop app? Try JPS! Last edited on 11:25:17 AM by ZPedro Noxīig update ( same URL as usual, reload twice to make sure you are actually running it): This is because the version that was downloaded the last time is loaded (so that it loads faster), while the download of the new version is occurring in the background. (Ironically, the built-in browser of my Android handset does support loading a file from the filesystem, but will not run JPS because it does not have the necessary JS API support so I've only been able to test Chrome.)ĮDIT: forgot to add: if you are loading JPS on a browser on which it was previously loaded, you will likely need to reload again in order for changes to be visible. You can now try it out, though it's not necessarily straightforward, because Chrome on Android will not offer the option to load a file from the filesystem by default (only a few sources such as captured images are offered) the workaround is to install a file manager, that will act as a file source as far as Chrome is concerned and allow you to pick files from the filesystem. Small update (same URL): Chrome running on Android is now supported, and I lifted the check that would make JPS refuse to proceed on it (JPS still refuses to proceed on other mobile browsers).

Last edited on 09:47:36 PM by ZPedro K3fka ****what is not a limitation, however, is the lack of support for creating patches creation of IPS patches will never be supported ![]() **including checking the output is identical to what Lunar IPS gives for the same patch In the case of Safari, I requested the functionality in no answer so far the request was marked as a duplicate of a previous request, so at least they are not rejecting the idea outright. *the reason being that neither browser supports downloading generated files (called blobs) with the download attribute. I intend to release its source code once it is out of beta. Obviously, new beta versions will be deployed at the same URL and you will automatically get them.Īnd for the anecdote, yes, this is what I asked IPS test files for in the other topic. Use it, prod it, test it, abuse it, send feedback, or not, go ahead. The only other known limitation is truncation support: it is not implemented yet.****īut even with the remaining issues, it is in good enough state that I now declare it in open beta. The most notable one is that, on Firefox, some patches (just one in the ~100 I tested), once applied, cannot be downloaded: that is, clicking the download link does absolutely nothing***. ![]() Yes, taking down all your other Firefox tabs), there remains a few know issues. Any reasonably recent version of Firefox or Chrome (both of which update automatically anyway), as well as any version of Opera starting with Opera 15 is supported Safari is supported starting with Technology Preview 19 or Safari 10.1, and Edge starting with version 13 normally.Īlso, while I have subjected JPS to about 100 patches downloaded from to validate its behavior**, and fixed the most egregious issues (one of which crashed Firefox. So recent, in fact, that unfortunately not all browsers have the necessary support, and I am sad to say that, regardless of my efforts, Safari and Internet Explorer are not supported*. And you do not lose the benefit of being able to use the software while offline: after having been loaded once, your browser will be able to reload it while cut off from the Net (of course, you should put it in a bookmark to make sure you can recall the URL without needing to go through this page) in fact, even if I were to let my domain expire and no one could access the URL anymore, your browser would keep the latest version it obtained and allow you to keep using JPS.Īll this is made possible by recent advances in browsers, particularly in the domain of file manipulation and offline use support. Furthermore, being web-based means you are, by default, using the latest version without any additional effort. Just point him at JPS, and he will be good to go (ideally, anyway there are currently limitations, as we'll see). The benefits are obvious: someone new to using ROM hacks no longer needs to be told to also download a patcher (typically Lunar IPS)… with additional instructions in case he may be using a non-Windows platform, and with the potential problem of the program no longer running on current systems, especially in the case of the Mac: this happened for PowerPC-compiled patchers, it could happen again. (EDIT: replaced beta URL with public release URL) It differs from previous patchers in that it is web based: you use it the same way regardless of your platform, and you don't so much install it as just navigate to an URL: JPS (stands for Javascript Patching System) is a web app that applies patches, currently IPS patches. ![]()
