Research direction

Start at the Homebrew Channel Load entry point and reproduce RetroArch 1.10.1 on Wii 3.4U from USB, comparing it with the working SD case. Done means the Wii launches RetroArch from USB instead of returning immediately to the Homebrew Channel; the issue names no source file or test.
