Description
Logs report the file as not being found (which makes sense since LRPS2 doesn’t support loading files from archives), but instead of dropping back to the frontend menu like other cores do in similar cases, LRPS2 just dies and the frontend menu never comes back.
Behavior is seen with the current auto-builds of the core (reported core version is just ‘Git’) running under RetroArch 1.20.0 on both Windows 11 and Linux.

Research direction
Reproduce the crash by asking RetroArch 1.20.0 to load a ROM from an archive using the current LRPS2 auto-build. Start by tracing the archive-load failure and compare the behavior with other cores in similar cases; done means the frontend menu returns instead of the core exiting.
