CP3 games fail to load under 20220126

[MasterEmerald]

Tried a clean/blank SD card AND a stock Miyoo Mini SD card update. In either case, CP3 games attempt to load and crash back to the rom select pick-list. Meanwhile CPS1, CPS2 etc work just fine (using the same/unified retroarch core).

Tested with both a clean/blank SD and one fba CP3 game (confirmed working on PC) and the stock Miyoo Mini SD card (where the Onion installer self-relocated the CPS3 games and not a single one loads. Same romset loads fine under stock firmware and core setup.

I enabled debug level core/app logging and captured this trying to launch any CPS3 game:

Fixed by repointing the CPS3 Emu to Fbneo core, launch.sh and cpufreq.sh Might not be optimal for these games but works well enough vs fba 2012. Speaking of, consider adding fba 2018 core and maybe some N64 cores if the hardware can handle it.
