What Patcher64+ Tool is
Patcher64+ Tool patches ROM files and Wii Virtual Console WAD titles using included or custom patches. It has a Native mode for ROMs and a Wii VC mode for WADs, and currently supports Nintendo 64, NES and SNES consoles. Custom patch files can use BPS, IPS, Xdelta, VCDiff or PPF3 formats. In Wii VC mode, the tool can put a custom ROM into a WAD, apply selected modifications or extract the ROM inside it. Supported games may offer Redux enhancements and customization options for audiovisual settings, difficulty, colors, equipment, cutscenes and language. The finished ROM or WAD is saved beside the original, which remains intact. The listed system requirements are 64-bit Windows 7 or newer and PowerShell 5.1 or newer; the repository also has a Linux and Mac installation guide. It is free and licensed under GPL-3.0. Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros. and Paper Mario require their respective modes rather than Free Mode for patching.
