Patcher64+ Tool
What it is
Patcher64+ Tool applies included or custom patches to ROM files and Wii Virtual Console WAD titles. Native mode handles ROM files, while Wii VC mode works with WAD titles. It currently supports Nintendo 64, NES, and SNES consoles, and accepts custom BPS, IPS, Xdelta, VCDiff, and PPF3 patch files. In Wii VC mode, users can place a custom ROM into a WAD, apply selected modifications, or extract the ROM it contains. Supported games may include Redux enhancements and options for audiovisual settings, difficulty, colors, equipment, cutscenes, and language. The patched file is created beside the original, which remains unchanged. The README lists 64-bit Windows 7 or newer and PowerShell 5.1 or newer as requirements; the repository also includes Linux and Mac installation guidance. The tool is free and the repository identifies its license as GPL-3.0. The README says Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros., and Paper Mario need their respective modes rather than Free Mode for patching. The maker suggests using the PowerShell script if users do not trust the compiled executable.
