[Bug] NRO applications cannot access emulated SD card

[sh0inx]

Description of the issue

Noticed this behavior a while back, forgot to make an issue about it.

Loading a homebrew app (.nro) from the emulated SD card does not allow it to access the SD card, but running the same app through a forwarder does. I suspect this may be related to the emulated runtime directory, but I haven't taken a look at the codebase yet.

Reproduction steps

• Load a homebrew app (.nro) that relies on SD card access.
• Observe.
• Pass the same homebrew app through a forwarder.
• Load the new forwarded application.
• Observe.
