*Luigi-San thinks this should be in General Emulation

Anyway, patch the .ips file to a clean SMW rom (don't ask us where to find one, it's a no-no.). Use Lunar IPS for that. It's available at http://fusoya.panicus.org.

Get Lunar LIPS from this site. Your .ips files should have the LIPS symbol after unzipping, double click on one of them and a new window that says select a file to patch should show up. Select the rom that the hack is suppose to be (ex. would be if a ips file is a hack of SMW, you would select your SMW to patch) and it should be successfully patched.

By the way, I've asked this question before on my first post.

LMFAO!!!!!!!!

I am going to note this in my list of funniest n00b questions! In fact, this is going on number 2.

Back on topic, and IPS is designed to avoid distributing ROMs, which is breaking the law. Its just a file containing changes made to the original file to be applied as a patch later on. It IS currently legal to distribute these. More information in the FAQs.

Oh, yeah, there's a wealth of information about it in the FAQs.

Or maybe, you know, none at all.

This, or some other announcement, is probably what you meant.

Hey KP9000, don't forget about "Does the Overworld use ASM?", classic.

Yeah, that was fairly funny. So was one thread asking everyone to do this guy's hack FOR him, but give him the credit.
