Issue - 4:3 aspect does not save

Hi, when I am using the lr- cores, when I change the aspect ratio via retroarch to 4:3 it does not save. If I save any of the other ratios, it saves a line in retroarch/config file like:
aspect_ratio_index = " 1" for 16:9 and saves just fine.

But when I try to save 4:3, it does not add the line at all. I can add the line aspect_ratio_index = "0" and it works fine. Just wondering why this one ratio does not save without me having to add it manually?

Just a note, I know its "best" to do this through the configedit menu due to the way the files are called, but this for my Arcade games. Due to the various core configuration ratios, sometimes I like to fill up my entire 4:3 screen and sometimes the stretch is just too much...

Been a few days, thought I would politely bump.

@jthomas5150 I would suggest opening a game in one of lr- cores and accessing the Retroarch menu, find where the options are Quick menu, Load content, Load recent, Playlists, Scan content, Netplay, select Settings, then select Configuration, and make Save configuration on exit ON along with Use Global Core Options file is ON. This would have to be done on all the cores individually, i don't know how to do it a easier way sadly.

Hopefully that makes some sense and helps with your problem. If not i'm sure someone else will nice enough to help you Jthomas5150.

@jthomas5150 Also to add to find the aspect ratio options before you change the configuration and global core options to on select Video, then select Scaling , and choose from the options.

I think it's a bug in RetroArch's override settings - the configuration is not saved for aspect_ratio_index = 0, even though the default is different (Core Provided, = 22).

Thanks for looking into it!
