Bug#983873: retroarch: Menu freezes shortly after start

[Pelle]

Package: retroarch
Version: 1.7.3+dfsg1-1.1+b2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

When launching RetroArch, the menu freezes up instantly or after a couple of
seconds.

A work-around is to change the settings in .config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg
    menu_driver = "rgui"
    video_driver = "sdl2"

The issue appears to be resolved in v1.9.0 which is the version currently
available as flatpak.
