Step 1: download and install subdrag's goldeneye setup editor v2

[ DOWNLOAD ]

Enjoy this masterpiece of a program. I can't begin to tell you the thousands of things this editor is capable of doing with GoldenEye. You need to read some of the help files and tutorials and start creating some of your own GoldenEye levels. This program makes it as easy as possible. For this tutorial on applying IPS patches, you will just be utilizing a tiny portion of the editors capabilities.

will this work on Windows Vista? Yes, but you need to read SubDrag'g GoldenEye Setup Editor FAQ.

Step 2: Create a folder with a name indicating the ips patch content

I will suggest keeping this easy as possible while you are new to this. So, create a new folder somewhere on your computer. You will want to name this folder as a description of what the IPS patch content is. For example, if you are going to patch your rom with Wreck's Caverns Frontzone, then name the folder "Caverns Frontzone IPS Patch". Use your own judgement for naming your folder.

step 3: copy and paste your goldeneye rom into the folder from step 2

This is self explanatory. Basically I'm telling you to make a copy of your rom instead of using your original. This is a precaution just in case something goes wrong during your IPS patching. Use a backup, not the original!

step 4: copy and paste the ips patch into the folder from step 2

There are two main sources for you to find IPS patches. The best is SubDrag's GoldenEye Vault. Browse there and find some incredible new levels! Your other source is the ShootersForever.com Forums. Check the GoldenEye sections of the forums for new GoldenEye levels and IPS patch files.

IPS patches are very small files, most times less than 5,000 KB. Some are even less than 200 KB.

step 6: Open SubDrag's GoldenEye Setup Editor V2

After opening the editor, follow what I've done here. Click on "Tools" and click on "Apply IPS Patch".

step 7: find your goldeneye rom

I've drawn a red highlight on the important portions of this step. First, click on your GoldenEye rom, then click "Open".

step 8: find your ips patch file

After clicking on your IPS patch file, click on "Open". Note that your IPS patch file has the .ips extension.

step 9: create a name for your new goldeneye rom

This step is tricky. Name your rom whatever you want, but remember to add ".rom" to the end of the name. Notice that is the screenshot here. You should name your rom with a matching description of the IPS patch. As you can see, I've named my rom cleary. After you've named it, click on "Save". Now, did you remember to add ".rom" to the end of your name??

step 10: verify your new rom was created

As shown here, I've used Windows Explorer to verify my newly patched rom exists!

step 11: paste your new rom into your emulator rom directory

This is an obvious step, however it's worth mentioning because your emulator will not likely recognize this new rom. Say what?

You will need to "Refresh your ROM List" regardless of what emulator you are using. Don't panic if you don't see it listed in your emulator. Chances are you will see "Unknown Rom" in your rom list. That's okay, it will play properly. It won't matter for online play with Mupen64K either. If you are hosting a game with your unknown rom, then you will confuse other players because they won't know what rom your are actually playing.

The problem is, the emulator uses an .ini file which identifies your roms and makes them display properly in your rom list. The .ini file is not updated for your newly patched rom. If the .ini file that comes with the emulator is updated with the IPS patched roms information, then you will see the proper rom name listed. An example of this is "GoldenEye 007 (U) [H] (zoinkity's MapPack)". If you patch your rom with Zoinkity's MapPack IPS patch, Mupen64K will recognize it and list it properly. You can find updated .ini files on the ShootersForever.com Forums soon. I will not include editing your emulators .ini file in this tutorial at this time. Be assured that the most commonly played IPS patched rom names will be included in the updated Mupen64K .ini file.

Currently, Mupen64K will recognize Zoinkity's MapPack patched roms and BlockFort patched roms.
