Patching problem w/ save dir set

[Kenshin9248]

First off, this is taken from the FAQ:

# Q: How does the automatic IPS patching feature work?
# A: ZSNES will soft-patch your ROMs if you have auto-patching enabled (In the GUI, go to Config-->Options; it's enabled by default). To get it to work, copy the .ips file to the directory of your ROM file or, if you have a save directory defined, into the save directory. Next, rename the .ips file so that it matches the ROM filename (eg. If your ROM filename is THISGAME.smc, then your .ips filename needs to be THISGAME.ips.). ZSNES uses the ROM file name, even with zipped files. So, for example, TG.zip containing THISGAME.smc is still patched by THISGAME.ips. Additionally, if you have IPS patches inside a zipped file, ZSNES will automatically patch with the first .ips file it finds.

Now, as my topic reads, my roms wont patch themselves. Roms are stored in \roms and saves in \saves both in zip format. All roms and ips files are named according to Goodsnes and match each other no doubt. When I take an ips file from my \save zip and add it into my \rom zip it will patch just fine. Why is it looking for ips files in the rom dir and not the save dir? According to the options>paths and the .cfg file it is directed correctly. Any help guys?

Autopatching will find the matching name ending in .ips in the save directory or try to find any .ips in the same zip as the ROM.

Doc team: please make that FAQ clearer.

So basically ips zip support is ONLY for when it's in with the roms. Thanks for clearing this up Nach. Now I gotta start copy/paste my translations
