Description

Attempting to open a whdload .lha game when using Files mode on my Nvidia Shield, results in a CLI prompt being shown instead of the game actually loading.

The games work when switching to HDF mode instead. As the bug is not present on my x64 linux distro, I'm guessing this is specific to either the Nvidia Shield, Android 12 and/or the Android build of this core.

(using the latest nightly armeabi-v7a build of Retroarch and the PUAE core)

Research direction

Reproduce opening a WHDLoad .lha game in Files mode on the Nvidia Shield with Android 12, armeabi-v7a, RetroArch, and the PUAE core; compare it with HDF mode and x64 Linux. Trace the Android 32-bit Files-mode path that presents the CLI prompt. Done means the game loads normally in Files mode without the prompt.
