Hello,
I wrote a IPS patch creator script in Python 3. Currently in beta, this allow to create IPS patch on any OS, as long as Python 3 is installed. I intend to add more functionalities in the future, such as:
x. Applying an IPS patch (duh!) (Done)
x. Removing headers (why would I want to add this nightmare fuel?!)
(Done)
x. Combining patches that aren't conflicting
x. Creating patches and anti-patches for both headered and unheadered ROMs in one step (Done)
x. Creating an IPS patch out of a disassembly file
x. Creating a patch from specific offset ranges
It does compress the patch using the RLE compression formats whenever possible.
There is no GUI, this is a good ol' command-line interface, the best kind of interface! (READ: I don't know how to create a GUI yet and this is not a priority at the moment).
I will create a git repository (along with a readme and all that jazz) for the project most probably next week. It is New Year's Eve after all. You will be more than welcome to do a pull request as it is my very first Python script and the actual script might look amateurish to a pro. Or if you want to help in general.
You may ask "why another IPS tool?!" Well, most of the tools used to mod ROMs are only usable only on Windows with a few exceptions available on MacOS. Tools compatible with Linux are almost non existant. Also, the format is so simple yet can cause headaches.
Any feedback is appreciated.
EDIT: Version 0.8 is out.
