No longer works on original hardware #35
Description
Describe the bug
Came back to finish an old seed on original hardware using swiss and the save file REL loader and wanted to generate more seeds so I updated from 1.0 to 1.2 and generated new seeds. Before updating, I wiped the old installation clear off the swiss emulated memory card using the Dolphin memory card manager. After updating and confirming the seeds load/apply properly in-emulator, I moved things over to the cube. When I attempted to load the REL loader save file, I was met with a permanent black screen. The reset button does nothing, indicating a full system crash. I isolated the issue down to the updated randomizer gci itself. I also tried both versions of the REL loader with no success. The old version will still load up if I reinstall it, but obviously seeds generated with the updated web generator cannot be loaded correctly.
Type of Failure
1a
To Reproduce
attempt to load the version 1.2 randomizer on original hardware.
Expected behavior
Not a hard crash

The only other modification is the widescreen gecko code. This same code works alongside the randomizer in dolphin and worked with the 1.0 version from start to finish.
