Research direction

Reproduce the crash on an old 2DS using RetroArch 1.22.2 git e33bb93, first opening a core and then loading the Doom WAD with prboom. Compare the listed affected cores and capture the data-abort details; the issue is done when the cores reach the RetroArch menu or load content without crashing.
