HUGE longshot, but does anyone have a working patch for Deep Dungeon III?
The .ips one available on romhacking crashes the game. I had a similar problem with Der Langrisser when I first got the console but that issue was remedied (with a new modified patch??) a couple of years back.
There's also a .bps Deep Dungeon III patch but the Retron 5 does not support that format. I've heard that a .bps file can be converted to .ips. Can anyone confirm? Probably won't solve my issue but it's worth a shot.

Yes it's possible to convert from bps to ips...in a roundabout way but it works. Use a program like beats to write the bps patch to the rom it's meant for, then use lunar ips to create an ips patch between the original rom and the patched rom. I've done that for you for Deep Dungeon III.
Or you can find it in my mediafire database for all of my patches in the nes section (linked in the topic creator's first post). The original IPS patch you tried probably didn't work by the way because the instructions state on romhacking.net to expand the rom on your PC first, which isn't exactly reasonable nor possible on the Retron 5 so this converted BPS to IPS patch should get around that issue. If there wasn't a bps patch available to use it still would have been possible to fix up a proper ips for the Retron 5 based on the one you already tried prior so if you'd like to know how let me know and i'll get into that as well.
I have patched Tecmo Bowl and Ken Griffy JR with current rosters and now I am insterested in if there is there any way to use an ips patch to play SEGA CD games?
