However, more recently, because beat is slow, his homepage now strongly recommends that people using the BPS format use the faster program Floating IPS by Alcaro for creating and applying BPS patches instead. So if you are using Tsukuyomi UPS it is recommended to use upset instead, if you are still using the UPS format.īyuu has also come out with another patch format called BPS that he recommends over UPS, and originally he put out his patcher beat for BPS. (Tsukuyomi is the name of the moon god in Japanese mythology.)īyuu, the author of this program, has more recently put out an updated UPS patcher, upset, as a replacement for Tsukuyomi UPS. This version will allow the patch the for. The name is an homage to one of the most well known and polished IPS patchers around, Lunar IPS by FuSoYa. A UPS patching tool (UPS was designed to replace the outdated IPS patching method favoured by earlier consoles). This original UPS patcher is called Tsukuyomi UPS. UPS is completely future proof in that regard. But thanks to a condensed pointer encoding method, the file size can be infinite.

The difficulty of implementing it is equal to IPS (it has trickier pointers, but no RLE magic.) The spec for UPS supports any file size, though the binary is currently limited to 4GB files due to libc limitations. It is designed to be a direct replacement for IPS. The goal of UPS is different from NINJA / xdelta / etc.
