Overview

Usually, IPS patch files can only be analyzed with hex editors; this can be difficult if the user has no knowledge of the IPS file format. IPS Peek allows IPS patch file data to be easily viewed in a visual way; no target file requied!

IPS patches can be opened, along with an optional target file (a file the patch is designed for). Each patch record can be clicked in a list, showing the data that is written to the file (in the Data View). Patch records can be selectively enabled or disabled for a given target file, and tested with an external tool (such as an emulator), all from within the application. Patch report information can also be exported for later use.

Main Features:

• Selective patching with instant visual file diff.
• Emulator testing (with selected patch records).
• Supports loading of a target file to see how patch records affect it (with patched file diff and highlighting).
• Shows IPS patch records, record sizes, offsets and more!
• Shows Lunar IPS truncate extension (CHS).
• Shows data (in a hex view) written by a patch record.
• Shows total size of all modified data.
• Allows exporting of patch information to a text file for later use.
• Filtering support.

System Requirements:

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2
