MULTIPATCH MAC MAC OS X
MULTIPATCH MAC UPDATE
MULTIPATCH MAC PATCH
MULTIPATCH MAC UPGRADE

Previous versions will remain available for download for older Macs.

macOS 10.9 or later is now required due to requirements for supporting newer Macs.

Added native support for Apple Silicon Macs.

Command line version lowered to target 10.9 and later like the desktop version.

Fixed appearance of the Create and Apply buttons, they always looked disabled on macOS 11 because the button type previously used is now deprecated.

This produces larger files than BPS so you probably shouldn’t use it but it is still very popular for the format’s original purpose.

Replaced PPF patching engine with the official one.

The website has also been updated with the latest app screenshot and support for Dark Mode on compatible browsers.

MULTIPATCH MAC UPDATE

Since automatic updates will only update the app, I removed the ReadMe file from the download and migrated that information to the website.

New icon and refreshed UI to look better on macOS 11 and later.

Automatic check for updates can be enabled or disabled from the Preferences dialog.

Code cleanup contributed by Added Check for Updates feature.

Patches using either of these compression methods should now apply without error.

XDelta updated to version 3.1.0 and enabled support for both DJW and FGK secondary compression.

Supports IPS, UPS, PPF, XDelta and BSDiff patches. If you a running 10.9 or newer, please use the latest version.

MULTIPATCH MAC UPGRADE

These are intended for users who haven't upgraded or are unable to upgrade to a recent version of macOS. For larger files XDelta is a popular choice.

MULTIPATCH MAC PATCH

These formats are no longer recommended for new patches because BPS provides smaller patch files that compress more efficiently. Patch creation for the UPS and Ninja2 formats is not supported.

Delta BPS patches - Usually smaller than Linear patches, but take longer and require more memory to create.

Linear BPS patches - Larger, but can be created very quickly and require very little memory to create.

The time and memory required to create a BPS delta patch depends on the size of the original and modified files. The format of the patch to create is selected from a drop-down in the save dialog.īPS Patch creation offers two different options, Linear and Delta. Usage for that is similar to applying a patch. Click the Create Patch button in the corner of the window to switch to patch creation mode. MultiPatch can create patches in the following formats: IPS, BPS, XDelta, PPF and BSDiff.

Otherwise you'll get an error that may explain what went wrong. If nothing goes wrong, the patch will be applied and you'll get a message telling you that patching is complete.

Choose where to save the patched file, then click Apply Patch.

You can also drag the file onto the App window from the Finder. Please ensure the patches you wish to use have the proper extension. Supported patch formats are automatically detected based on the file extension of the patch. It only allows applying or creating patches with no extra options.

CMD version - Command line version made by request.

GUI version - Complete version with a graphical user interface.

Included are two versions (for macOS 10.9+):

MULTIPATCH MAC MAC OS X

Older versions compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 or later are available on the MultiPatch homepage. This program is compatible with computers running macOS 10.9 or later. Everything is built in to the application natively, it is not a front-end and thus does not need to rely on external tools to accomplish the job. You can also create BPS, IPS, PPF, XDelta or BSDiff patches. With this one program, you can apply BPS, IPS, UPS, PPF, XDelta, BSDiff or RUP (Ninja2) patches to files. MultiPatch is an all-in-one file patching solution.
