Description

AI Service crashing back to emulationstation when using lr-Flycast or lr-PPSSPP.

I'm using the most recent source build of retroarch and the emulator cores on a Pi 5 with RetroPie.

I have tried the workaround fix described here:
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/16429#issuecomment-2047982202

But when I add threaded_data_runloop_enable = "false" to retroarch.cfg I just get gibberish:
440576793_984200513065593_2902243748709591586_n

Is there a workaround that fixes this temporarily until it get fixed in RA?

Research direction

No source file or test is identified. Start by reproducing the crash with lr-Flycast and lr-PPSSPP on the reported Pi 5 setup, then compare normal behavior with retroarch.cfg set to threaded_data_runloop_enable = "false" and review the referenced pull request comment. Done means a verified workaround or fix that avoids both the crash and the gibberish output.
