 It's confirmed, however ui.ini has no field to save the last-used software-list item.

It's as if the functionality hasn't been designed into the UI, rather than being a bug.

Probably more of a feature request. Like any feature request, the devs will have to decide if it's worth pursuing.

 I mean, if it does it for arcade games you'd expect it to do the same for console games.

 It isn’t supposed to. There’s an option to remember the last launched system, and a corresponding setting in ui.ini where it stores the last launched system, but that has nothing to do with software lists.

In practical terms, it wouldn’t work without adding another more structured/scalable place for storing persistent UI state. INI based options won’t scale out to support this.
