drafts: true📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis PR adds ROM patch detection and a ROM patch loading view. It extends menu state, registers the new view, updates browser limits and actions, validates IPS headers, loads ROMs with progress reporting, and configures boot parameters before boot. ChangesROM Patch Loading
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to IPS patches can currently be accepted as successful even though no patch is applied, allowing users to proceed with an unpatched ROM. Merge should wait until IPS application is implemented or the unsupported path is reported clearly. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Inline comments:
In `@src/menu/rom_patch_info.c`:
- Around line 174-176: In rom_patch_info_load, the unsupported-type return paths
return PATCH_ERR_UNSUPPORTED after opening the FILE* f, leaking the handle;
update the function (and the similar return paths around the other occurrence)
to close f before returning (e.g., call fclose(f) or refactor to a single
exit/cleanup label that closes f) so that every early return from
rom_patch_info_load (including the unsupported extension/default cases) properly
releases the file handle.
- Line 8: The array patch_rom_bps_extensions currently contains the wrong string
("aps") so .bps files won't be recognized; update the static array
patch_rom_bps_extensions to include the correct extension "bps" (replace "aps"
with "bps", or include both if intended) so BPS files are detected properly by
the code that checks patch_rom_bps_extensions.
- Around line 72-77: The code reads 5 bytes into header_magic and then calls
strcmp, which is unsafe because header_magic is not NUL-terminated; change the
check in the IPS header validation (the header_magic buffer read and comparison
around fread/header_magic/strcmp/PATCH_IPS_MAGIC) to use a length-safe
comparison (e.g., null-terminate header_magic after the fread or use
memcmp/header_magic versus PATCH_IPS_MAGIC with the exact length) so the
comparison is well-defined and still returns PATCH_ERR_INVALID on mismatch.
In `@src/menu/rom_patch_info.h`:
- Around line 64-65: The header and implementation disagree: the header declares
rom_patch_info_load_file(char *path) while the implementation exports
rom_patch_info_load(path_t *path); fix by making the public prototype match the
implementation (or vice versa). Update the declaration to
rom_patch_info_load(path_t *path) (or rename the implementation to
rom_patch_info_load_file and accept a char * if you prefer) and ensure the
parameter type (path_t vs char *) and function name (rom_patch_info_load vs
rom_patch_info_load_file) match across the header and source so linkage
succeeds.
In `@src/menu/views/browser.c`:
- Line 608: The action label for ENTRY_TYPE_ROM_PATCH is set to "A: Load" but
the entry is still routed to MENU_MODE_FILE_INFO; change the menu routing so
ENTRY_TYPE_ROM_PATCH opens the load flow instead of file info by replacing the
MENU_MODE_FILE_INFO target with MENU_MODE_LOAD_ROM_PATCH (or the existing
load-mode constant used elsewhere) in the switch/dispatch that handles entry
types, and ensure the ENTRY_TYPE_ROM_PATCH case (where action = "A: Load") and
any handlers like the mode dispatcher reference the load-mode symbol so the UI
and behavior are consistent.
In `@src/menu/views/load_patch.c`:
- Around line 97-129: The load() function advances to MENU_MODE_BOOT
unconditionally even when no ROM was loaded or patch applied; change logic so
MENU_MODE_BOOT is set only after a successful load or patch. Specifically, use
the return value from cart_load_n64_rom_and_save and/or cart_load_rom_and_patch
to determine success and only then set menu->next_mode = MENU_MODE_BOOT and
populate menu->boot_params (move all boot_params assignments inside that success
branch); if neither load_rom nor a successful patch occurred, do not change
next_mode or touch boot_params. Reference: function load(),
cart_load_n64_rom_and_save, cart_load_rom_and_patch, menu->load.rom_path,
load_rom, and menu->boot_params.
- Around line 133-146: view_load_rom_patch_init currently clones rom_patch_path
but never populates/validates patch info; call patch_info_load with
path_get(menu->load.rom_patch_path) and &menu->load.patch_info, check the
returned rom_patch_load_err_t (e.g. err != PATCH_OK) and if an error occurs call
menu_show_error(menu, convert_error_message(err)) and clear
menu->load.rom_patch_path (and set it NULL) to avoid selecting an invalid patch;
keep load_pending consistent (false) on error.

Boot transition occurs even when no patch is applied.
load() moves to MENU_MODE_BOOT although patch application is not implemented (commented out), and the A-path can skip even ROM loading. That can boot with invalid/unrelated state.
Proposed fix

cart_load_err_t err;

- menu->next_mode = MENU_MODE_BOOT;
