As above.

Based on the extremely little amount of information you have provided as to your problem, I'd have to say it was caused by you deleting the patch.

Sigh. Can't you even look at the documentation?

If you can't do that, can't you even look at the settings in the GUI?

If you can't do that, can't you even look around the forum?

It is now an option. Check the 'enable auto-patch' setting under options.

Hmm...i thought it's pretty straightforward.

I tried playing a rom...say '123', actual rom is '123.smc' zipped as '123.zip' with patch '123.ips' put in the same dir as the rom, but game is not patched when i tried playing it.

P.S. 'auto-patch' is ticked.

It is not straightfoward, becuase this function is not broken.

The IPS file needs to be in the same directory as your saves and srms, not the ROMs.

Also, the Ips shouldn't have the same same as the .zip file, but as the ROM file inside the zip.

Alternatively, just place the IPS inside the .zip with the ROM file. Then it can have any name and will still be applied.

I'll add that if all else fails, close ZSNES, then delete your ZSNES configuration files and start ZSNES again (you'll have to reconfigure everything again).

Gotcha!!!
"The IPS file needs to be in the same directory as your saves and srms, not the ROMs.

Guess what!!!
I did exactly the opposite & it worked!!

The IPS file must be put in the ROM directory & the IPS must have the same name as the zipped filename, not the rom filename.

So much for the documentation & advices, but thank you.

P.S. zsnes wip version 1.43, 11 apr 2005

This is currently version-dependant.

SDL: ROMdir + archive name
Win/DOS: Savedir + ROM name

It's possible that you are using the DOS version, it works on Windows XP as well (albeit less well)

ZSNES board
