Description
When setting the option "Aspect ratio hint (reinit)" to widescreen, it doesn't stick. Any time you open RetroArch and load a ROM, it will be 4:3 despite the setting being on widescreen, and you have to go to the option, change it to normal and then back to widescreen for it to work.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by setting “Aspect ratio hint (reinit)” to widescreen, reopening RetroArch, and loading a ROM. Trace the option's initialization and ROM-loading path to determine why widescreen is not retained; done means the setting applies on the first load without toggling it away and back.
