    There are different types of patches that are applied in different ways. Usually the patch comes with instructions.

    ISP ? I think its suppose to be IPS.

    If its IPS; what you need to do is download : http://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/lips/index.html
    Simply;
    1. place the clean/unpatched rom in the IPS folder
    2. place the patch.ips file (which is the patch you want to use on the rom)
    3. run Lunar IPS
    4. choose Apply Patch
    5. choose the rom and the patch file to use
    6. patch it, ok/done.

    Alternatively, you can try IPSWin 2.0 or SmartIPS.

    Here's my extremely easy to follow tutorial for applying an IPS Patch along with a few helpful photos & download links:

    And yeah, I had to fix the tutorial's photos as I've lost the links to the original files :(
