ROMLOAD v1.99q was released. To encourage people to find more patches, the all-combination patches for Konami games were added to the manual. Other changes are:

• Fixed a bug causing /F not to work anymore after a conversion switch
• Added force language selection
• Added force MSX version selection
• Added ROM image in Page 0 support

IPS4MSX v1.1 was released. First of all, it has the previously announced sub-dir support. Other changes are:

• Made IPS file optional. Default filename will be input filename.ips in the same location
• Added extension detect. IPS extension isn't necessary anymore
• Added EOF detection without "EOF"
• Sped up the patch routine
• Fixed bug in RLE that caused to read the next block incorrectly

Recently I discovered the IPS patchfile format. It's kinda standard on several emulators. I like the format so much I decided to make a patchtool for MSX. This version has no sub-dir support yet, but the plan is to add that support soon.

ROMLOAD v1.99p was released. This time the 'p' has a meaning again. It's for the added on-the-fly patching of ROM images, additional to the patching that is done to convert the mappers. Now you can patch the game to cheat around a bit. The number of patches is limited to the length of the command line.

I've submitted ROMLOAD v1.99l to MSX Resource Center to add to the downloads database.
