==== I’m getting the error “xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3_INVALID_INPUT” when trying to apply an xdelta patch ====

This means the rom you are trying to apply the patch to and the one used by the rom hack creator aren’t the same. ~~Ask them which specific rom they used and apply~~ the ~~patch to that one~~ (~~There are 2~~ versions of ~~the~~ US ~~rom that are slightly different + a single version of the EU rom~~). ~~See also~~ the next question.

This means the rom you are trying to apply the patch to and the one used by the rom hack creator aren’t the same. Most of the time this happens if your ROM is unclean, since most hacks use a clean ROM as a base (there's clean and unclean versions of both EU and US ROMs). Try the solutions listed in the next question. If taht doesn't work, ask the patch creator which specific rom they used to make the patch and make sure you have the same one.

==== I have the wrong ROM so I can’t apply a patch, what can I do? ====

~~You~~ can use SkyTemple’s conversion patches to switch between ROM versions and to turn an unclean ROM into a clean one.

If the ROM you have is unclean or you have the wrong version of the game, you can use SkyTemple’s conversion patches to switch between ROM versions and to turn an unclean ROM into a clean one.
