Description
Just as title. Happens in latest devbuild, https://github.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/commit/6371766130ff7cdccd55d8d793cc14459ce370f4
Here is a more detailed repro example:
- Go on Config > Cores > GB > and set the core to either GBHawk or SubGBHawk
- Reboot core
- Open any ROM
- Record a movie
- Close the movie
- If you go on Config > Cores > GB, you'll see that the preference is back to Gambatte. In fact, if you reboot core, BizHawk will boot Gambatte.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue using the listed Config > Cores > GB steps, including recording and closing a movie, then inspect the code handling GB core preferences during movie closure and core reboot. Compare the behavior with the related issue #1964; done means a selected GBHawk or SubGBHawk preference remains selected and is used after rebooting the core.
