Patching

Now we will use the Menu files you obtained from the previous step and patch them with the theme of your liking.

You will need:

  • Rom Patcher JS or Flips.
  • Original Men.pack, Men2.pack, and/or cafe_barista_men.bfsar.
    • If you do not have your original files please follow Menu Files.
  • A theme patch file.
    • It can be any of the following formats .ips, .bps, .ups, .ppf, .aps, .rup.

Save your original Men.pack, Men2.pack, cafe_barista_men.bfsar files somewhere safe so you don't have to get your files again in the future
