You load the patched ROM into your emulator, not the IPS file.

Assuming you're using Lunar IPS, here's the general flow:

  • Launch Lunar IPS

  • You will be prompted for the patch (.ips) file, select it
  • You will be prompted for the ROM you want to apply the patch to, select it and it will patch that ROM you just selected
  • Open your emulator and load that ROM you just patched in the last section
