ROM Hacks for the PlayStation - How to Apply PS1 Patches, Translations, and More!

Time to delve into the world of ROM hacks on this channel for the first time! I started looking into enhancements, patches, and translations for original PlayStation games and was pleasantly surprised over what I found! However I noticed several different formats of these patches, different methods, as well as different expected game formats. Due to all of this I wanted to make an in-depth guide explaining these ROM hacks a bit further as well as how to apply them.

This will show you how to easily backup your original PlayStation discs to a proper format, what to look out for on your patch downloads, and how to apply them. PPF and XDelta patches are covered in this guide, as well as one example of a custom patcher. Due to custom patchers being... Well, custom in nature. This example is not a one-size-fits-all. Any custom patchers you encounter should have documentation included which you will need to follow specific to that patch.

This video has been made with Fair Use in mind and has been created as an educational piece of media.
