Getting the same problem here. I posted about it yesterday but I may as well post here too. It usually only happens if I have been playing for more than approximately 45 minutes.
I would suggest to those having this problem that as a temporary fix for your save files go into retroarch.cfg and find the line
autosave_interval =
and put in the interval that you would like the game to save (in seconds). This saves all “non-volatile” data in the SRAM which includes save files but perhaps not save states (mine haven’t saved, but I may have configured them incorrectly).
Of course this doesn’t stop ES freezing or the need to unsafely powering off your pi. I hope a fix for this can be found soon.

As far as I know there is no pre configured gamepad button combination that will gring you back to the main menu. I think you have to go into the config files of the emulators you are using and set up those combinations yourself. For Retro Arch you can add a line the following lines to the config file in RetroPie/configs/all

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "9"

This will allow you to close out of the emulator when you hold the Back Button (button 8) and press the Start Button (button 9).
If you are using gpSP you can load the emulator without a game (go to the folder that holds the gpsp script and type ./gpsp) This gives you options to change your gamepad button configuration as well as enabling a preset button combination to close out (select and right trigger I believe)

As of yet I haven’t used any of the other emulators yet so I haven’t looked into their specific configs.

Hope this helped
