Description

Description

Mario Party 1, with ParaLLEl N64 (2.0-rc2). Starts the game in normal-mode, Not widescreen. Widescreen option are set and saved. It was working in older versions of RetroArch, so I think it is a RetroArch bug with loading core options.

Expected behavior

Every time I start Mario Party 1 with ParaLLEl N64 (2.0-rc2).

Actual behavior

ParaLLEl N64 (2.0-rc2) with MarioParty (Have not tested other roms with this core) starts the game in Normal mode, when widescreen is set. Making a small change in options and restart the game, makes the widescreen active.

Steps to reproduce the bug
  1. Install and use the ParaLLEl N64 (2.0-rc2) Core.
  2. Start Mario Party 1 and set it to use Widescreen and higher res, save the settings for the game.
  3. Restart game gives widescreen, but if I close the game and starts it, the settings are saved but the game starts in Normal mode. I have to make a change and restart the game to get widescreen. Every time.
Bisect Results

I was testing different cores to make Mario Party 1 on N64 to work perfect. ParaLLEl N64 (2.0-rc2) makes the game run smooth and perfect + characters are visible on the "turn-map" in the game.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with RetroArch 1.8.9, the ParaLLEl N64 2.0-rc2 core, and Mario Party 1, focusing on saved core-option loading during a fresh launch. Trace the core options used for widescreen and higher resolution, then verify that saved settings are applied without requiring an option change or restart.
