Description

Hi!
I can change all paths (assets, cheats etc.) to the sdcard, except the core path. It is always reset to default on Android.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the path-setting behavior on Android and trace where the core path is reset to its default. Done means the core path can be changed to the SD card and remains set, matching the behavior of the other paths; the issue names no files or tests.
