The PatchDir is a hardcoded path in your project file that imports anything you have in it into the build without any questions asked. It will be the last folder it copies in right before the actual ROM building part.

It is a little tidbit colonel told me a while back in the IRC. It is awesome for certain DLLs and whatnot.

You can have the location in any folder, but I just made it easy on myself and put it w/ BuildOS.

Patches are copied in after the kitchen rars and the user_oem packages are read, but right before it starts building the registry.

Not sure how to use/what dll to put in there?

Buildos processes the Rom archive(sys) files first, then user selection oem's, and then it processes the Patches folder. Anything in the patches folder will overwrite anything else already processed in the rom. Great for no2chem's 1% battery.dll, an updated audiopara.csv file, or a keyboard oem that replaces many standard rom graphics and dll's like this one...

A great undocumented feature!

I haven't tried moving an entire OEM package in there. It would feel a little cluttered to me. Especially if it was the keyboard oem... that has a ton of files lol

hows that for details?
