I was never stable for me, never, so I don't use it today, but back when I was trying to make it work, the .CIA installation was the better way to do it, try that if you didn't already.
Which steps did you take to install retroarch?
To me it looks like you only installed 'retroarch_3ds.cia'. Which does nothing on it's own. (as shown in your video)
The actual cores are included in the 'retroarch/cores' folder. Did you copy that as-well?
It really isn't that difficult; https://docs.libretro.com/guides/install-3ds2ds/

With the newer versions of retroarch if i load retroarch through a cia and then try to load retroarch through the homebrew launcher it crashes and i have to delete the retroarch salamander.cfg in order for it to load games from the homebrew launcher it sucks because i have to use either the cia or sdsx not both. So try deleting retroarch.cfg and salamander.cfg in the retroarch folder on your sd card.

Download 'retroarch_cia.7z' and extract the 'retroarch' folder to the root of your SD.
Than run the installed 'retroarch_3ds.cia'.

Retroarch gets its cores in the package, in the cores folder just click and instal, i would say to put the cores you dont use in a notused folder, dont use the universal updater for retroarch, i use the nightlys, also u need bios, just type bios pack google and bobs your grandmother
Honestly, RetroArch isn't that reliable for the 3DS systems (or at least it isn't for my 2DS), I would recommend searching for another emulator if these issues continue after trying what others are suggesting.
Have tried both for a long while now and 3dsx running thru homebrew channel is the better way to go for sure.
If you try to use a core that causes it to crash (mame2003_plus always does that for me) it gets stuck, upon each load of retroarch it will just crash trying to load the broken core.
Only fix I've found is to delete the retroarch.cfg file, start again and avoid the cores that cause problems. I keep a backup of retroarch.cfg now so that I don't have to re-apply all my preferences and settings.

@The Real Jdbye, I thought about that and I have blank DVD's and Blurays but honestly after like 90 songs I just listen to it a couple of hundred times toss it out and burn something else or have like 2-3 CD's. Florida here the heat in the car tends to ruin the CD's after like a few months even commercial pressed ones don't last too long.
