I'm thinking a patch utility program and then a series of patches, propably
using a simple scripting language. The upside is that there would be no
legal pitfalls to distributing these patches, and the patches would remain
the intellectualy property of the authors. So we could implement whatever
EULA terms we see fit (ie: A prohibition on redistributing modified ROMs).
Obviously there are people who will ignore this, but it gives added legal
protection to the patch author as they are no longer party to any
infringements due to ROM distribution. It also gives patch authors a stick,
if neccessary...
It sounds like the IPS patching system used on the Super Nintendo.
Translation patches, NTSC to Pal fixes, Trainers, etc.
