If it's not working and you're sure your emulator can soft-patch IPS files, then you might have to put the IPS file in a different folder, depending on your settings and what emulator you're using. If all goes well, the translation patch should work automatically. If your emulator can do this, then make sure the IPS file is called mother12.ips and that the ROM is called mother12.gba. Most modern emulators will automatically patch IPS ROMs when you load the ROM. Put this file in the same folder as the IPS patch file.
