Core : MelonDS, bsnes or other hw demanding cores

Bugs:
Most of time after save/load states, game frame drops with bricky sound.
Game run at full speed when not using save/load states.

If want to save/load states : Enter menu - wait good 5s+ - save/load states

Try with latest Lemuroid, there is no bugs when save/load states.

Research direction

Reproduce the slowdown on the listed Poco F5 Android versions with MelonDS, bsnes, or another demanding core, testing save and load states with and without the five-second menu wait. Compare the behavior with the latest Lemuroid; done means save/load states no longer cause frame drops or distorted audio.
