So recent, in fact, that unfortunately not all browsers have the necessary support, and I am sad to say that, regardless of my efforts, Safari and Internet Explorer are not supported*. And you do not lose the benefit of being able to use the software while offline: after having been loaded once, your browser will be able to reload it while cut off from the Net (of course, you should put it in a bookmark to make sure you can recall the URL without needing to go through this page) in fact, even if I were to let my domain expire and no one could access the URL anymore, your browser would keep the latest version it obtained and allow you to keep using JPS.Īll this is made possible by recent advances in browsers, particularly in the domain of file manipulation and offline use support. Furthermore, being web-based means you are, by default, using the latest version without any additional effort. Just point him at JPS, and he will be good to go (ideally, anyway there are currently limitations, as we'll see). The benefits are obvious: someone new to using ROM hacks no longer needs to be told to also download a patcher (typically Lunar IPS)… with additional instructions in case he may be using a non-Windows platform, and with the potential problem of the program no longer running on current systems, especially in the case of the Mac: this happened for PowerPC-compiled patchers, it could happen again. (EDIT: replaced beta URL with public release URL) It differs from previous patchers in that it is web based: you use it the same way regardless of your platform, and you don't so much install it as just navigate to an URL: JPS (stands for Javascript Patching System) is a web app that applies patches, currently IPS patches.
