Is it possible you can give step-by-step instructions on how you can recreate this? Also, which core are you switching from and which one are you switching to, and is RetroArch on USB or SD?
So, I was playing Snes9x Next for a while then I switched to the FCEUmm core (requiring a reset) and played then for a while. After that, I switched back to the Snes9x Next core and the emulator prompted me to reset, so I did that. Well, when I reset RetroArch a second time, that's when it displayed the invalid format error and the blue LED is lit up.
To replicate error
1 - Open up RetroArch and change to Snes9x Next core (if it's not already on it) and reset the emulator as prompted
2 - Open up a random Snes/Super Famicom ROM and play that for a while
3 - Once you're done, switch to the FECUmm core, reset the emulator and play that for a while
4 - Once done with that second core switch back to Snes9x Next and reset
5 - At this point, the emulator should display the "invalid format" error while the disc slot LED is solid blue
In total, there you should be prompted three times to reset it when switching from Snes9x Next > FCEUmm > Snes9x Next
If no one else can replicate this error, then I'll end up looking like an idiot with a false positive. I don't think it's those specific emulator cores per se, but switching back and forth that many times between any two cores may be the issue itself. Sounds like a memory leak when swapping that many times in a short period of time.
Running the emulator off a Kingston 16GB Class 4 SDHC card.
