What is UNIF?
The UNIF format is a new format proposed to end most of the problems of the iNES format, specifically, the lazy and arbitrary assignment of obscure memory mappers. It does this by being more exact in its description of the game being dumped. Board type, memory mappers, ROM sizes, etc. are more clearly defined. The UNIF format is also a chunked format, meaning that a programmer can decide which sections of the .UNF [seriously] ROM get read by his emulator. If an emulator comes across an unrecognized chunk, it can skip over it to read the next one. So far, not very many emulators support the UNIF format, which is its main detriment. But everything has to start somewhere, right? • What are .IPS patches and how do I apply them? IPS Files are small files that are used to change [or patch] the data in a game ROM [or any file for that matter] in an efficient way. They are used to apply hacks, translations, and fixes to game ROMs in a non-copyright-infringing way. See, if you translate a game
