Remove a patch that is no longer hosted on the site from my ROM?


So, I've run into a problem. Previously, I was using these Toad graphics. Now, I want to use the SMM2 SMW Toad graphics that Dark Mario Bros. submitted because they look better AND they're more complete, with castle destruction cutscene sprites and cape flight GFX. The old Toad GFX didn't include flying frames, so I used the Perfect Cape Flight Disable Patch to disable cape flight. However, that patch is no longer on the site, and I need a copy of the original patch so I can remove it with Unpatcher.

Is there a way to reverse the changes with hex edits? Or am I stuck?

The patch was removed because its effect can be done with a couple hex edits, as you can see here.

EDIT: Sorry, it seems I misunderstood you. If the patch only changed these two adresses, you could look on the smw dissasembly to check for the original values/opcodes in these adresses and apply them to revert the patch.

I know, I read that when I Googled the name of the patch to see if it was still available anywhere.
The question is, how do I undo those hex edits?

That doesn't actually say that the whole patch was those 2 hex edits, just that those 2 hex edits have the same effect. And judging by Disco's comments in the rejection log, the patch actually edited 2 bytes at one of those offsets, so just reverting those hex edits may not do the trick.

Oh, damn. Is there a way to somehow make a second patch to add the flight back in?

If I were you, without knowing what that patch might have changed, I would be porting the ROM, to be honest.

Alright.

Shame there's no backup of the patch, but as you said I can just port it all over to a new ROM.
