Once you have downloaded a game unzip the game and you should have two files. The readme. Open the readme. Now you will need to rename both files to have the same name but different files extensions as below. If method 1 does not work for all Rom hacks, If it did not work for you we will need to patch the ROM file as shown in method 2.
Answer: If you are still having issues then it is most likely because you have the wrong version of the ROM. Answer: The best site I know of is RomHacking.

You'll need something like Astro File Manager to do that. Here are directions for unzipping files with Astro. You can also download UniPatcher from RomHacking. I'm assuming you're using OpenEmu for emulation, as it is the most popular multi-system emulator on OSX.
If you were wondering, OpenEmu does not support auto-patching or softpatching. Manually patching ROMs with Multipatch is your only option. They normally state this in the directions, but not always.
That really sucks if you download a patch and it doesn't come with any documentation or a ReadMe text file. Or maybe the patch did come with documentation, but they neglected to provide directions. Without directions you don't know what version of the ROM you need to patch.
You also don't know if you need to patch a headerless ROM or not. So what do you do? Try my two strategies:. To search Archive. For example, for SNES search for archive. Anyhow, apply the patch to every ROM in the collection. Test every ROM to see if the patch worked with either of them. If that doesn't work, try the next strategy Test every ROM to see if that works.
One of the above two strategies must work. If they don't work then there must be an important detail that you may be overlooking. Double-check the region North America, Europe, etc.
Double-check everything. Even double-check details that might seem silly. For example, maybe you were trying to patch a Game Boy Classic version of Pokemon but you actually downloaded the Game Boy Advance version by mistake.
This guide focuses on IPS patch files, which is the most popular and most used file format for patches. Using the patching utilities recommended above are the same way you use Lunar IPS: all you do is select the patch, select the ROM, and then click Patch. So you start up your patched game in your favorite SNES emulator and the first thing it gives you is a "bad checksum" error on the bottom of the screen shown below. Don't worry! This is supposed to happen. As long as the game starts up normally after this message then everything is fine and nothing is broken or corrupt.
You more than likely overlooked a detail. Read the ReadMe text file contained with the patch. It should have important details you need to know before applying the patch. For example, a specific version of the ROM may be required. Version 1. Some ROM hacks require one or the other. Or maybe a ROM hack requires a specific region for a game. Most of us are from the United States so we assume the North American version is what we need to use. However, sometimes ROM hacks require the European version.
If you're still having trouble, maybe this other FAQ question can help: When a patch doesn't come with directions. You can use either the auto-patching or manual patching methods explained in this tutorial. When you patch with an IPS patch it's the same exact process for all video game emulators of all video game systems. So patching for Visual Boy Advance does not require anything special.
