When I download a hacked ROM I can't play it with my emulator (nester) and if I change it to a nes file type it says invalid nes file

this is how you do it

1. get a copy of the original rom
2. get an ips patch
3. patch the ips to the rom using lunar ips
4. play it with emulator
5. have fun

Do that, and if it still doesn't work, you'd better try another emulator (but it should work).

Another of these threads again? I think someone should make a guide to IPS-patching, and sticky that thread. Lately, quite many threads have been made with this question.

And the forum announcement should already say all you need to know. But people don't read it.

I know, but there are many dummies here too which simply don't understand anything that have with IPS to do. I have helped some people myself too. Personally, I didn't got any trouble with it when I was new with it...

I just searched a tutorial about how to use an IPS-patch, back then in the tutorial they used Snestool (which is DOS-based). now though I fully understand it (what's not to understand?)

I hear SNESTool is full of bugs. With LIPS out, there's no need to use it (at least, as an IPS patching utility).

thats not true.
besides, it isnt full of bugs.
people just tend to dislike it because its old and dos-based.
its a powerful tool nevertheless.

Oooh, the old PMS joke. Heheh. They're called PM's dude.

Seriously though, as far as IPS patching is concerned, SNESTool didn't keep up. I used it myself, I should know. Recent patches wouldn't work when applied using SNESTool. Was I ever happy to discover LIPS...
