Softpatching ROMs with RetroArch¶
RetroArch currently supports UPS, IPS and BPS patching formats. If you load rom.bin and one of the following is present, the ROM will be autopatched: rom.ups, rom.ips or rom.bps. Autopatching only takes place if the libretro implementation supports loading ROMs from memory.
