I'm having a lot of trouble using the xdeltaUI.exe file to patch my rom of Nsmbds (that I dumped myself). I've been stucked for around 2 hours trying to figure out what's wrong. The problem I'm having is that the patched file has the size of "0o" and when I try to transfer it to my other files it says that "the file doesn't exist".

If someone could help me with that I would be insanely grateful.

The Hack is New Super Mario Bros. Deluxe! 1.2

There may be something wrong with your dumped ROM, can you tell me its filesize? It's supposed to be 32 768kb if the dump worked correctly and the ROM hasn't been trimmed.

Well after a while I thought that that was the problem so I switched to a rom I found online, which is the original one, American version. The size of that rom is indeed 32 768kb if you wanna know. But for some reason, everytime I patch the rom following exactly what the readme file says, the file comes out with no size at all, saying that it doesn't exist on this pc.

Thanks for the response btw!

I've just bought a US NSMB card, dumped it and patched NSMB Deluxe onto it. It goes without a hitch, and the resulting ROM plays just fine.

I've googled this issue, and this is what I got:

--- For patching the rom ---
If the patch doesn't work or is showing 0kb then try the following:
Firstly, WAIT. The patch shows up as 0kb when it is patching.
If it stays at 0kb and there is absolutely nothing going on, then...

Try and update your NET framework to the latest version.
Add ".patch" at the end of the patch. Sometimes xDelta doesn't recognise the patch otherwise.
Check the rom is CLEAN which means that the filesize is 32Mb. This patch only works on an unpatched, untrimmed version of the game. So any extra patching or trimming will have to come later.
Try using another version of xDelta, your version may not be recent enough, or may be missing important files that help the program run.
Try uninstalling your NET framework completely and re-installing it, there may be something wrong with your NET framework in general.
Try searching in places other than the desktop. xDelta is... moody. It sometimes puts the patched ROM in various places that it shouldn't.
Try putting the GUI in the root of the C:\ drive, this seems to help for some reason.
Make sure it's the clean rom.

Reminded to me by Rascal: In addition to these suggestions, look in C:\Documents and settings. That is where xDelta puts it occasionally. Search your drive for anything ending in "patched.nds", that's often where it's hiding.

We cannot help you beyond that, it's against the rules to post roms or link TO roms so the best we can do is give advice. You must help yourself, by doing the above things.
