Description
Description
Softpatching doesn´t work on certain cores, those are GPSP on PC/Vita and SNES 2005/2005 Plus on Vita

Research direction
Start by reproducing softpatching with the listed GPSP and SNES 2005/2005 Plus cores on Windows and Vita, then compare the behavior with the working SNES 2002/2010 and mGBA cores. Done means patches matching the archive filename are applied consistently on the affected cores and platforms.
