MultiPatcher is a modular utility framework and collection of system tools and patches spanning operating systems from MS-DOS to Microsoft Windows 11.
MultiPatcher can package utilities, patches, visual system modifications, and drivers directly, or wrap them with additional functionality (for example, adding configuration layers when a patch does not natively support them).
Key features:
- Customizable interface
- Easy expandability
- Supports MS-DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows 9x, Windows NT, and modern Windows systems (including Windows 11)
- Includes bootable MS-DOS and Mini Windows 3.1 environments
- Unified interface for system utilities and patches
MultiPatcher consists of three platform targets:
- MS-DOS: 16-bit terminal application compiled with Turbo C++ 3
- Windows 3.1 / 95 / 98 / ME / NT 3.1–XP: 16-bit Visual Basic 4.0 application
- Windows Vista and above: 32-bit Delphi application
A compatibility launcher (Patcher.bat) detects the operating environment and launches the appropriate binary:
- MS-DOS →
patchx16.exe - Windows 95 / 98 / ME / NT 3.1–XP →
patchg16.exe - Windows Vista and above →
patchg32.exe
The DATA/ directory contains data that affects the Interface itself.
The RES/ directory contains data that consists of "menus" and "entries".
- Other directories inside
RES/contain utilities, patches, and tools
-
A directory containing
lfn.iniis treated as a menu
See: LFN.INI structure -
A directory containing
info.iniis treated as an entry
See: INFO.INI structure
MultiPatcher is designed to provide a lightweight and modular environment for launching system utilities and applying system-level patches.
It targets practical system tools rather than full application suites (such as disk partition managers). Lightweight configuration and repair utilities are the primary focus.
Ensure Git is installed.
git clone https://github.com/Stellcel-Remeny/Multipatcher.git --depth 1The --depth 1 option performs a shallow clone to reduce download size.
