Research direction

Start by reading the linked issue #5883 and compare its history with the current RetroArch behavior. Reproduce the regression on the 3DS target using a Neo Geo ROM larger than 60 MB; done means the ROM loads successfully again. The issue names no source files or tests, so locating the relevant loading path will require repository investigation.
