GNU/Linux scripts and programs are not marked executable

[kimimaru4000]

The ucon64 and xdelta3 programs in .ezpatch/bin/linux are not marked executable, resulting in a "Permission denied" error upon invoking the script. Furthermore, the unix.sh script in .ezpatch/scripts is not marked executable, causing the drag and drop for linux-drag-here.desktop to not work, since it internally invokes this script.

To fix these issues, these files should be applied executable permissions (Example: chmod +x ucon64) and distributed through a format that can preserve these permissions, such as a tarball (Ex. .tar.gz). File Roller and some other archiving applications can also preserve these permissions through .zip files.

I'm still seeing this issue as of today while patching for the 1.0.0 release. I applied executable permissions to the necessary files as mentioned above with

chmod +x ucon64
chmod +x xdelta3
chmod +x unix.sh

and had called the unix.sh script manually in Terminal, entering the rom path for the %U parameter. Below is the command if calling from within the smashremix1.1.1 directory:

./.ezpatch/scripts/unix.sh "/path/to/rom.z64"

I think that covers the workaround for now. Thanks for documenting this, kimimaru4000.

I followed the above steps but still I cannot patch the ROM in Arch Linux, I always get the message: "Your ROM does not match the developer's original ROM".
But in Windows I can do it effortlessly with the same ROM, so it's not a ROM issue.

@leodexe Use this instead: https://www.hack64.net/tools/patcher.php
I had the same issue here in Manjaro.

how do you use the patch ? I uploaded both .zip files and it says "Error: unknow patch format"
I used "smashremix1.1.1.zip" and mine, but then for checking only I resorted to an easily available "Super Smash Bros. (USA).zip"
