Description

Just as title. Happens in latest devbuild, https://github.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/commit/6371766130ff7cdccd55d8d793cc14459ce370f4

Here is a more detailed repro example:

  1. Go on Config > Cores > GB > and set the core to either GBHawk or SubGBHawk
  2. Reboot core
  3. Open any ROM
  4. Record a movie
  5. Close the movie
  6. 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.
