Description

screen resolution doesn't apply when in an override

Expected behavior

When changing output res from 1920X1080 to 1366X768, saving override by content directory, quiting RA, entering back with the same core and content directory,, the output res should be saved

Actual behavior

Output res changed but does not apply. When looking at the screen resolution in the RA menu it is still on 1920X1080

Steps to reproduce the bug

1.Changing output res from 1920X1080 to 1366X768
2. Saving override by content directory
3. Quiting RA, entering back with the same core and content directory
4. The output res is still 1920X1080

Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce this on RetroArch 1.14.0 for Windows 10 using a content-directory override, then trace how the screen resolution setting is saved and reloaded; done means 1366x768 remains selected after quitting and reopening with the same core and content directory.
