Ok!

Just type Lunar IPS in Google and guess what...

You'll end up on my site.

I'm also hosting the Dutch version of Lunar IPS.

Why is it? Anyway, it's just for now, I don't know any other place you can get it at the moment. The links work fine for me. If they don't work, right click on them and select "save as...".

Updated the tutorial with some important information. Now it also explains how to create IPS-patches. The link has been fixed, it's temporary replaced with the one at Zophar's Domain.

Visit http://www.winace.com and download WinAce. You can download a 30-days-free shareware version, and it has all the functions you need.

So I guess there ain't free rar unzippers then. Do Genesis ips files really take up that much space that they can't be distributed in the normal ips files?

So anyone know how to attatch the rar files to the genesis? I see some hacks released for Sonic games and they come in rar formats. I tried ips winning the thing onto it but it dont do anything.


If you want a program that can do most of the different compression formats, I'd recommend PicoZip. There's an official site for it, but it was down when I tried to get to it. See the site if you want to know what different files it can open The one thing I really like about this program is that it opens lha / lzh compressed files without requiring an extra program.

Well, RAR files are sorta like ZIP files. You need something like WinRAR to open them up. I bet the IPS file is inside the ones you're talking about.

Thank you, people... And thanks to Jesper for the sticky... Let's hope new people will read this if they don't understand IPS-patching. If such a thread will be created again, I'm sure DarkSlaya got some work to do (points to post two).

And yes, the title should be something like: "DON'T READ THIS, BECAUSE THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC HACK CREATOR"... Nice ideas from HyperHacker, DarkSlaya and Zen, *laughs*...

I don't think we need a flash movie. That would be cool, but someone then has to make it. And my voice is NOT the one which will be in it. By the way, imagine if some people don't have a flash player or something... You never know.

Flash Movie, that's a good idea. I maybe do it someday.

And still then, some won't read it. The best way is to write in the title: "DON'T READ THIS"

The idea is basically nice - but as like many threads in different forums there are people, not reading stickied threads at all, even when the thread is blinking in pink, font size 30 and has twenty exclamation marks in it

Other than else - good idea with that explanation how to apply IPS files even for *sigh* "noobs"
Might be merged with an existing FAQ into a general one - so there won't be a mass of cluttered up stickied threads with overlapping questions and answers here

That's good, your'e heart was defenitly in the right place when you made this thread. If you get a chance PM Fusoya and tell him about the screenshots you took, maybe he'll update his readme file with the screenshots you made & put separate instructions bundled with Lunar IPS. It's worth a try. If not, maybe a mod can update the Announcement on how to apply patches.
