Research direction
Reproduce the startup sequence on Nintendo Wii using the listed alternative directories and remove the old directories under cores. Trace which startup path creates assets, autoconfig, cheats, filters, and overlays; done means RetroArch starts without recreating those empty directories when alternative paths are configured.
