Source code in .patch format

I downloaded the source code for MPlayerWii v0.07 DCelso & Qualith MOD R2 from here and it's in .patch format. What do I have to do with it?

Use patch.

Thanks for your answer. I don't have access to Unix. Any chance on a Windows system?

Since you probably have devkitPro installed, just run MSys et voilà, you've got your patch. Patch is a command line tool, so you'll have to deal with it's parameters. Basically, you need to cd into the dir with rOn's original source, and then type something like

patch < mplayerwii-MOD.patch

Actually, if you've got devkitPro set up there's a chance that it added msys to your path, in which case you can probably just run patch from a regular cmd.exe.

When I use this line I get the following:
can't find file to patch at input line 1086
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
...
File to patch:

What now?
