Spec score 7.6 #8 of 20 in ROM Patching Software

What it is

Patcher64+ Tool patches ROM files and Wii Virtual Console WAD titles using included or custom patches. Native mode handles ROM files, while Wii VC mode works with WADs. The tool currently supports Nintendo 64, NES, and SNES consoles and accepts BPS, IPS, Xdelta, VCDiff, and PPF3 patch files. In Wii VC mode, users can insert a custom ROM into a WAD, apply selected modifications, or extract its ROM. Supported games may offer Redux enhancements and settings for audiovisual details, difficulty, color, equipment, cutscenes, and language. The patched file is saved beside the original, which remains unchanged. The listed requirements are 64-bit Windows 7 or newer and PowerShell 5.1 or newer; the repository also provides Linux and Mac installation guidance. The project is free and licensed under GPL-3.0. The README notes that Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros., and Paper Mario need their respective modes rather than Free Mode for patching. Support is available through Discord, and bug reports should include the console log and reproduction steps.
