DumbVersion Patches

We use DumbVersion Patch files (.dvp) to efficiently store different localizations and variations of existing ISOs.

These files contain only the exact differences between a base ISO and your target ISO. This helps us with hosting a large amount of ISOs efficiently, without having issues with speed or reliability.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

  • The latest version of the DumbVersion Patcher: Download the latest release that matches your operating system and architecture (Windows, MacOS, or Linux and x64 or ARM64).
  • A base ISO: This is the source file the patch will be applied to.
  • A patch file: The .dvp file you downloaded from our website.
info

For most patches on our site, the required base ISO is the standard English (en-us) version that matches the architecture of the patch. The Patcher will tell you if you are using an incorrect base ISO.

How to Apply a Patch​

  1. Create a new, empty folder and place all of the downloaded files inside it: the patcher executable, any amount of base ISOs, and any amount of .dvp files.

  2. Execute the DumbVersion Patcher. It will scan the folder and automatically detect both the ISOs and the patch files.
    (If you want to process multiple patches, you can also drag-and-drop .dvp files onto the patcher.)

  3. Wait for the Patcher to complete. The Patcher will process the files and generate new ISOs in the same folder.

tip

Your original base ISO is strictly read-only during this process. It will not be modified, overwritten, or deleted.

  • Double-check that your base ISO is fully downloaded, uncorrupted, and matches the exact version expected by the patch (usually the en-us ISO).
