Upload your multiboot rom as the ROM file (e.g. client.bin ) and patch file.
Click Apply Patch and download the patched ROM (e.g. client.patched.bin ).
Step 3: Load the Patched ROM
Rename your Ruby or Sapphire save to match the patched ROM name (e.g. client.patched.sav ).

Confirm the distribution succeeds.
Step 4: Verify Jirachi in Your Save
Once the transfer completes, rename the save file back to its original name.
