Research direction

Reproduce on a PS2 90008 with Picodrive and FCEUmm: launch a ROM, use Quick menu > Close content, then launch another ROM. Trace the Close content path and the subsequent ROM launch until the return to the PS2 browser; done means a second ROM launches normally after closure, with regression coverage if the project provides it.
