Research direction

Begin by reproducing the crash in the Windows XP MSVC2010 version when starting any game with the genesis_plus_gx_libretro core. Compare this behavior with a working build to narrow down the compatibility failure. Done means games start without crashing the RetroArch program on the affected version.
