Set the default folder in config.ini with the key `default_folder`. For e.g. `default_folder = games`. Cubiboot will start with that folder open instead of in the root of the SD card.

Using an uninitialized string without checking if it is empty

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Sorted this and refactored the whole thing whilst doing it because I wasn't liking the nested if statements. I'm rubbish at naming functions and variables.

I realised that if you didn't use a |
- Added get_valid_path() helper to safely check default_folder. - Handles NULL, empty, and missing leading '/' cases. - Falls back to root '/' if folder does not exist.

Set the default folder in config.ini with the key
default_folder.Example:
default_folder = gamesCubiboot will start with that folder open instead of in the root of the SD card.
I tested the cubiboot.dol on a GameCube with picoboot v0.5.0.
All of these opened the games folder on boot correctly:
Setting default_folder to a directory that doesn't exist will just open the root of the SD like normal.
