$$\mathbf{ISTA\ Patcher}^{\color{orange}overdose}$$

An IL patcher for ISTA-P from scratch, a product of learning about dnlib.

Usage

Important

ISTA-Patcher will back up the original files to the @ista-backup folder. However, it is recommended to manually back up the ISTA\TesterGUI & ISTA\PSdZ folders before patching.

Note

*nix users may need the following steps to get ISTA-Patcher working:

unzip ISTA-Patcher-*-Release.zip
cd ISTA-Patcher-*-Release

# linux
chmod +x ISTA-Patcher

# macos
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ISTA-Patcher
chmod +x ISTA-Patcher
codesign --force --deep -s - ISTA-Patcher

Execute the following command in a terminal:

# [option] is a placeholder for the options you want to use.
ISTA-Patcher patch [option]... "\PATH\TO\ISTA"

The directory containing the patched files is located as follows:

• .\ISTA\TesterGUI\bin\Release\@ista-patched
• .\ISTA\PSdZ\host\@ista-patched
• .\ISTA\PSdZ\hostx64\@ista-patched

Overwrite the patched files in their respective parent directories, read the notes, then run the program and, dang, it's ready to use.

Note

• The program offers optional parameters, which vary by version. Configure settings as needed.
• Ensure that all related processes are terminated before starting.
• Enclose paths containing spaces in quotes to avoid errors.
• Verify that environment variables (eg: ISPIDATA) and the configuration files are correctly set.

Tip

For all available options and to learn more, please execute ISTA-Patcher without any arguments and follow the instructions.
