Please note that cores that appear on this list might not be supported on the Retroid Pocket 3 Plus. This list just covers cores that support RetroAchievements
Some cores support a feature called softpatching. Meaning it can apply a patch (in .UPS, .IPS or .BPS extensions) on the fly.
Simply place the patch in the same folder as the rom and make sure its the same name.
Example
./Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon SuperS - Fuwafuwa Panic (Japan).ips
./Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon SuperS - Fuwafuwa Panic (Japan).zip
If the core doesn't support softpatching you can use online patching tools.
| Tool |
|---|
| Rom Patcher JS |
| Hack64 |
| IPS ROM Patcher |
