Describe the crash
The emulator crashes immediately on startup before any UI is shown. The crash happens during application initialization, not while running a game.
Branch/PR/Release:
Eden Emulator Nightly (Android build)
(Also tested with stable build – same issue)

Launch the app
App crashes instantly on startup
Device:
OS: Android 16 (rooted)
CPU: MT6785
GPU: Mali G76
RAM: 6GB(6GB swap) (can be adjusted if needed)
Additional context
Issue happens on Android 16 only
Same crash occurs with other Yuzu-based forks (Yuzu, Citron)
Granting all storage permissions does not help
Crash happens in Application.onCreate, before permissions can be applied
Likely related to scoped storage / internal storage path returning null on Android 16]
