Help Applying IPS patch to FDS game (Silviana)

[MyPancreas]

I've figured out how to use both nflate and the IPS patcher for XP. However, whenever I try and patch this game with Mute's translation, the end result is always an error while trying to load the game afterwards.

I tried to increase both PRG and CHR seperatley, together, or not expanding either, patched with and without using Nflate. The actual game file works in FCEUX, but I just can't get the darn patch to work.

Also tried disk expander, but it always tells we "can't open thegame'sname.fds"

Anyone have any ideas ?

Doesn't FCEUX auto apply the patch if the rom name and ips name match? like zelda.fds and zelda.ips in the same directory.

Never heard of that.

Anyway the problem per se was solved. A different rom was needed for the patch to work. Not that I'm using it, mind you, because 1 King Mike's instructions are kinda vague on the whole "programs to expand" front, and 2, I've already grinded so much in the game that the thought of doing it again makes me want to throw kitchen appliances.
