IPS Soft Patching Support?

[erfanCA01]

love the gpsp core for its speed on handhelds, any plans to bring softpatching support for rom hacks and fixes? thank you, mgba core already supports it but gpsp has far better fast forward speed

Hmm, it looks like it "needs_fullpath", which is what controls whether softpatching works or not. This means the core needs direct access to the file rather than accessing it from memory. I'm surprised this is the case, though.

I wanted this option since extracting a 16 MB game to a cheap sd card can be painfully slow on Wii.
I don't really understand why it relies on keeping access to the file so I didn't feel confident submitting a pull request.
These changes weren't hard to do, I was surprised I got it working on the first try, but maybe it can be of help to someone.

Thanks a lot, I also need this feature， but I canot code c

And why not make a PR，

On GameCube this change prevents ROMs bigger than 4MB from loading, that's a bit excessive. Without my changes one is able to load even 32MB games just fine.

Maybe if a compiler flag gets added, it would be more acceptable?
