[New format request] BDF (bspatch/bsdiff) support
Thank you for this excellent tool, it's very useful.
Please consider adding support for BDF format, as implemented by bsdiff and its bspatch tool.
The code is available under permissive license at https://github.com/mendsley/bsdiff
Was about to create a ticket for this. Never seen the BDF format before, until i wanted to give this one a go:
https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5813/ This hack is published as a patch in BDF format. You need bspatch/bsdiff or another BDF-compatible patching tool to apply it to the original game.
I would also desire adding in BsPatch/BsDiff support for the sake of convenience. BDF was never incredibly popular, but some ROM hackers use it because it's lean and more reliable than IPS.
I'd be great to see the patcher supporting more formats. Unfortunately, I'm focusing on other projects and I have no time to work on it at the moment. Hoping someone else can take a look at it.
