Importing and playing patched games
-----------------------------------
TODO
The console emulation community
has a long and vibrant history of game modding,
or [ROM hacking][rhdn],
including fan-translations,
new levels for existing games,
and more.
Since distributing the modified versions of existing games
would be copyright infringement,
the changes are typically distributed as "patches",
a file containing a list of modifications to make,
that can be automatically applied by a "patcher" tool
like [Flips][flips].
higan does not support soft-patching,
so if you want to play a patched game in higan,
you will need to use a patcher to apply it yourself,
creating a new, patched copy of the game.
Then you can import and play the patched game just like
[a regular game](#importing-and-playing-regular-games).
