9. Finally, to patch the rom, create a copy of your original rom, then right click on the randomized mod
10. Click "Patch rom with mod" and in the dialog uncheck "Include sprites in patch" since we haven't modified any images so it's unnecessary, and requires extra things to get working. Provide it with the rom you want to patch.

NOTICE: In the randomizer options you will see "Softlock minimization". When checked, various measures are taken to minimize the chances of a softlock, particularly in the tutorial. But there is still no guarantee that you will not run into a softlock.
