Description
We need to prevent a crash that can happen in RetroArch when we are running an online core update task and we navigate to the 'Standalone Cores' tab in the menu.
Easiest way to go about his would be to -
- Detect the 'online core update' task
- If it exists, we decide not to render any entries for this menu list, and instead inform the user to come back when the core updating has finished.
