Attempting to re-create / replicate an archive made years ago with an unknown application, which is no longer complete on a file-sharing network
I'd suggest to just try other diff programs, eg. https://github.com/sisong/HDiffPatch

N64 ROM hacking noob, in need of some assistance
I've tried to find an answer already for this, but can't seem to find one. In forums where people seem to mention this issue or one similar to it, they seem to get directed to xdelta on github but I don't enough about github to be able to use the xdelta patcher there. I apologize if I sound really ignorant on this, but if someone could point me in the right direction or help me fix it or just teach me what I need to do to get past it that would be appreciated.
Nevermind, I finally figured it out. I read on here that if I remove the quotes I have to add underscores in all the spaces. Probably really simple for everyone else, I didn't know. Thanks so much for all your help, I was finally able to apply the patch!
This should work: https://github.com/jmacd/xdelta-gpl/releases/tag/v3.1.0. Just download the executable and run it through the command line. Instructions can be found here.
