I just bought this game last week, perfect timing for a bug report. Will investigate.

This issue is seemingly simple at first look, however it's brought up a difficult issue.
This change in behavior is because of a merge in the .ini for PAL and NTSC-U game which actually require their own .ini.
Issue *1 (this report):
GWLE6L.ini (old local):
0x8028EF00:dword:0x48000638
GWL.ini (new global):
0x8028EE80:dword:0x48000638
Issue *2:
But the more serious issue is a old regression from the 3.5 era:
https://dolphin-emu.org/download/dev/24e9aedc1420d1947f1a7bf5b57ddbab3c5fb2dd/
There was a regression from the branch 'global-user-directory' which stops the patch from working properly.

- Regression changed from No to Yes
- Regression start set to 4.0-5695
If it looks like global-user-directory caused a regression, there's a 99% chance that it's a configuration issue, since all that branch does is change where the configuration is read from.
Merging an OnFrame patch into a region-neutral INI is a mistake. I will make a PR to fix it.

Just tested it and it works fine.
Should there still be a global ini when a local one is needed instead?
About the global-user-directory issue I brought up it's real. What was happening before that branch was merged was that a + sign before a $ like +$Bypass FIFO reset would automatically enable the patch.
After the branch was merged that feature from patchengine.cpp or somewhere broke so patches have to be enabled by the user manually.

Yes, we want to always have a global INI so that region-neutral settings (for instance texture cache or EFB) are used for all regions of the game. That way, regional releases that we aren't aware of will only lack the patch, not all settings. It only applies to the emulation rating in this case, but I do it this way for all games to be consistent.
What you say about patches and the + character makes sense. However, it might be intentional. We want to rely on patches as little as possible, and enabling them automatically is the opposite of that. If you want to discuss that more, please create a separate issue report.
