IPS or 'International Patching System', is a file format, originally meant to patch ROM images, but can also be used with Disk image files. Patching image files can be done to fix bugs, but can also be used for other things such as cheats, translations or game enhancements. The specification of the IPS format is available.
The advantage of IPS to distributing patched images, is that you do not modify the original, the IPS file is normally very small, and you are unlikely to have copyright issues.A disadvantage to IPS, is that it will only apply if the checksum matches, so you need to have the correct original file. Especially for Disk images this may be problematic, as some games insist on writing to the disk and then the checksum will no longer match.
On the fly patching
The openMSX emulator supports on the fly patching. This way you do not need to keep a patched version of the image around.
How To Open Eps Files On Windows
For example, to patch a ROM file on the fly in openmsx you would use a command such as this:
For more information, see the openmsx user manual.

In addition, openMSX can also export patched disk images, using the built-in diskmanipulator command.For more information, see the openmsx diskmanipulator documentation.
