Homebrew titles use global config instead of decidated 'Game settings' ones

Homebrew

What area of the game / PPSSPP

Homebrew titles use global config instead of dedicated 'Game settings' ones. Seems that regular games are not affected (and if they were, this would have been detected ages ago I suppose).

Tested on Logitech G Cloud (Android 11, newest OTA, official apk build 1.20.2 as well as the newest 1.20.2-49) on the 'Suicide Barbie' demo but it seems that all homebrew titles are affected (I also briefly tested the 'Powder' homebrew game from http://www.zincland.com/powder/ ).

• while the game is not running, after entering the game menu via 'Y' / Triangle, PPSSPP allows for the creation of 'Game settings', shows the config correctly afterwards and allows for changing it
• HOWEVER: the game then runs using the global config regardless of the above
• while the game is running, the options shown are that of a global config - and that config is used despite the local config existing.

Just in case, I have not tested every single option. While I suspect that all the options are affected, the one tested by me is 'Display layout & effects -> Aspect Ratio' - it is easy to test because the effect is visible immediately after starting the game. In case of problems with reproducing that I can test other options.

I've tried narrowing it down using the devbuilds. The problem seems to appear in 1.81.1-1543 while it is not present in 1.81.1-1529.

What should happen

Local game-specific 'Game settings' should be used when it exists - like in older PPSSPP versions.

Broken before ddc16c9 , even in v1.19 release. At first glance it doesn't look like it's related to messy homebrew detection logic.

• original DISC_ID UCJS10041
• generated DISC_ID POWD00657
• game config is created as POWD00657_ppsspp.ini

Hm, oops. I'll take a look shortly and try to get a fix into 1.20.3, due for release tomorrow Sunday.

Yup, like I said, it seems broken since v1.81.1-1543.

Glad it got the fix so quickly, thanks! Confirmed fixed in v1.20.2-60.
