[Android] RetroArch stop responding during emulation via certain cores

[huang-junwei]

First and foremost consider this:

• Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
• This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented

Description

So far, I've encountered this weird issue on 2 separate game on 2 different cores:

Legend of Zelda: a link to the past on the bsnes and, Pokemon fireRed rom with "Pokemon unbound" patch on the mGBA.

Expected behavior

Retroarch should continue to run emulator games normally until the core or Retroarch is closed.

Actual behavior

After playing for a while, Retroarch randomly freeze, and Android displays "retroarch is not responding" message, requiring me to force close the app and lost game progress.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Load the ROM in selected core
2. Play normally until freeze

Bisect Results

Happens ever since the first time I play the ROM.
