Description
Sorry if this was already reported, I wasn't able to find it. I don't know if this is a problem with the core or not, but I very rarely update cores, and I don't remember this in old builds of retroarch.
Description
When I minimize retroarch or lock my device while playing MupenPlus-Next, upon restoring retroarch crashes.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- load MupenPlus-Next core and some game
- Minimize retroarch or lock your device
- If you've locked device, simple unlock it and retroarch will crash. If you've minimized, restrore window and retroarch crashes.

When I repeat this several times, my phone asks if I want to send report to xiaomi, but I guess it will be more usable here. Sorry for screenshot, but I wasn't able to copy this text, and I don't know if it is saved anywhere in the system:

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the crash on Android 10 with RetroArch 1.8.8, MupenPlus-Next, and the listed Xiaomi device, then inspect the supplied backtrace and relevant resume/restore path. Done means restoring the app after locking or minimizing no longer crashes, with a regression test if the project’s existing Android tests cover this path.
