[PATCH RESEND] n64cart: use strscpy in n64cart_probe

From: Thorsten Blum

Date: Sun May 17 2026 - 13:28:23 EST


strcpy() has been deprecated [1] because it performs no bounds checking
on the destination buffer, which can lead to buffer overflows. While the
current code works correctly, replace strcpy() with the safer strscpy()
to follow secure coding best practices.
