Description
Whenever RetroArch tries to download thumbnails (using Online Updater menu/per-game) it just crashes. I can't exit to Home Menu, or do anything else. The only thing I can do is to hold power button to turn it off.
However, it can load thumbnails if you give files. If there won't be anything, it will crash (probably an endless loop of trying to load file that doesn't exist).
Some info:
- New Nintendo 3DS (Japan region)
- 64gb SDcard
- latest Luna version

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash through the Online Updater menu and per-game thumbnail download on a New Nintendo 3DS, including the case where no thumbnail file is available. Compare this with loading supplied thumbnail files and verify that unavailable thumbnails no longer hang or crash the system and that the user can return to the Home Menu.
