What is a patch you ask?
From ROMHacking.net:
> (Patches are) a file that contains information on how to change data
> of a ROM image. (ROM) Hacks/Fan Translations are distributed as
> patches because the distribution of pre-altered ROM images is
> illegal due to several reasons. There are a few formats for patches
> like IPS (Which is the most popular format), PPF and NINJA, which
> can be applied with appropriate tools, however ROM hackers also
> often write small executables that patch the game on their own.
All that said, here are links to get Fan Translations and ROM Hacks.
