Issue description

When "Enhanced Resolution (Slow)" Is set to ON, RetroArch will crash because of pcsx_rearmed_libretro_android.so when I choose which elements (Special Magic Attacks) I want to use in Chrono Cross during a battle. This was not an issue until I updated the core last week (on friday I think). I first installed the PCSX_ReARMed Core in RetroArch on 11 October 2023, everything was working fine at that point in time. I am using RetroArch running on Android 10 with the NEON GPU plugin and an armabi-v7 CPU architecture.

Step-by-step reproduction and logs

The Zip file attached contains Chrono Cross and the state I was playing. With the Enhanced Resolution (Slow) setting on, load the game and the state file, talk to the man right in front of you then select "Of course". The battle will then start, "attack" the enemy enough times until the LVL is 2 or more, select "elements" and switch between element levels multiple times using Left and right D-PAD keys (or using the Joystick). Doing so should crash RetroArch. (The LVL is located above stamina (sta.) and below your HP) This happens for every other battle in the game. If needed, I can provide another statefile in another section in the gameplay.

The following is the logs from the logcat command at the time when RetroArch Crashed (Ignore cutils-trace)
