About this APK

UniPatcher is an app by Boris Timofeev in the Tools category, listed since at least December 2018. It includes native code only for x86 32-bit and ARM 32-bit, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.

Since version 0.14.0, the minimum Android version rose from 4.0 to 5.0. It asks for 8 permissions, 2 of them sensitive: read shared storage and modify shared storage. Compared with version 0.14.0, it adds 3 new permissions: “Full network access”, “Run foreground services” and “View network connections”.

Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

Please read before you download: This program will not help you hack native android games, it was created for the old console games (Super Nintendo, Sega MegaDrive, Game Boy Advance, Sony PlayStation etc.). UniPatcher allows you to apply patches to the game ROM. What is a patch? The patch is a file with the modified data of the game. For example, a game translated from Japanese to English. You download the patch containing the translation. It must be applied to the Japanese version to get the English version. Features: • Supported formats of patches: IPS, IPS32, UPS, BPS, APS (GBA), APS (N64), PPF, DPS, EBP, XDelta 3 • Creating XDelta patches • Fix checksum in Sega Mega Drive ROMs • Add/Delete SMC header in Super Nintendo ROMs • No ads • Free and open source software. Source code available at https://github.com/btimofeev/UniPatcher How to use? Very simple: • Choose a patch • Choose a game • Click "Save" Very important: if the game and patch compressed (zip, rar, 7z or other), they first need to unzip (I recommend the free program ZArchiver). Help with translations: You can help with translation of the program into your language. The translations are managed on https://www.transifex.com/unipatcher/unipatcher Feedback: If you have a bug report or a feature request feel free to open issue on https://github.com/btimofeev/UniPatcher/issues
