Question how to bulk patch #1345

Closed coolfox89 closed 2 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I need help with bulk patching. I’m a beginner with scripts and code so I’m not sure how to apply this.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to bulk patch the Romhacking.net archive since its recent shutdown. How do I use your tool to bulk patch? Can you send me an example of what a bulk patch would look like?

The Romhacking.net archive has a SQL file that contains hash values for the patches. Would your tool be able to work with the SQL file to help automate the patching process?

Additional context

I'm going to convert this to a discussion as it's not a feature, but I do think it's a really interesting discussion.
