cant change any settings in core funtions for mupen64 cant change anything in user settings modules folder (no cores) is empty in retroarch app (but download them separately nighly cores) gl shader folder is empty to after open retroarch my phone overheat.

First and foremost consider this:

• Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
• This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented

This is probably exceptionally low priority and something i'll have to live with. Still - I wanted to make sure it was put out there. As of a few versions back, I am no longer able to stream RA properly, at least in the means I have for a long time now. Unfortunately I'm a serial updater, and ive had a good week off of playing, so i cant say exactly what or when caused the regression.

The short of it is this.

I have content directory shader presets set up. In this case, for beetle psx hw. I load a game from said playlist, config override kicks in and positions window properly/places within overlay, and shader preset kicks in which ties into the configured sizing present in the config.

this has stopped working if I am streaming and if im using my go-to shader that I have set up (ctr guest dr venom.) I stream via steam BPM via steam link app and if I load retroarch and load any playlist which uses that shader, I get a black screen with audio. This also happens with several other higher end crt shaders.

If i come back to my pc, the image is on the screen, but is without color. If i remove the shader preset, all is fine. If i load a basic shader such as Geom's as a preset, that works fine as well.

One other oddity. If i load a game via command line/shortcut direct from steam, it works fine. ONLY if i load it via retroarch itself does it fail.

Im not sure if something a few versions back changed the priority or order these things were drawn or loaded - but definitely puts a damper on my vastly preferred means of playing.

at current my options are command line shortcuts/launching of any game i want to play that uses that shader. The removal of those shader presets entirely from ~30 playlists and go with something basic like geoms, and resize all my config files to accomodate. Or, play exclusively from my pc.

This could very well stem elsewhere, however I did try several different gpu drivers just in case. Also tried removing curve to eliminate that as being a potential variable as i know royale fails when curve is added to the picture.

The strange part is, if i remove the preset, and load it manually after the game is loaded - it works just fine as well. its purely giving me hell when loaded automatically via content directory preset.

Expected behavior

The game to display alongside overlay AND shader, instead of overlay + black screen + audio.

Actual behavior

See above.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Launch retroarch via (presumably) a steam link - or in my case the steam link app.
2. Load a game from a playlist that uses crt-guest-dr-venom
3. note everything loads, (can see overlay, audio is playing) the gameplay area is black.

Bisect Results

I cant say exactly, as ive been not playing (but updating) for the past week or so. But its very recent.

As of today, RetroArch / Libretro on the PS Vita is using software rendering. This is preventing cores from using the full potential of the device in terms of, of course, 3D emulation, but hardware acceleration could also do wonders for 2D display.

Examples of GXM code found here : https://github.com/xerpi/gxmfun A little bit more context here : https://www.reddit.com/r/vitahacks/comments/5pbdgo/having_fun_with_libgxm_psvitas_3d_graphics_api/

This will be used to track all remaining issues until we feel confident to do a release. Please add to this issue as we go along.

• (tested with PCSX ReARMed and verified there is an issue) - There seem to be pretty big savestate conflict problems right now. If I have a savestate saved on slot 1 for Soul Blade and if I then try to load state 1 in Resident Evil 2, it will actually load Soul Blade (!!!).

I have also noticed saved states overwriting themselves this way.

Meancoot - try to use the RGUI savestate functions in combination with the Cocoa savestate slots and tell me if you see any problems of the sort occurring.

NOTE: I am using real BIOS files. Put the required BIOS files into Documents/.RetroArch

Description

1. We cannot unload cores on platforms with no dynamic core support (forced content reload for netplay).
2. VitaSDK's epoll appears to be malfunctioning (used by socket_select, socket_poll and socket_wait).
3. RetroArch is re-launched each time a new core is loaded; -H and -C parameters must be passed to the command-line when spawning the new process.
4. Vita's kernel doesn't seem to like RetroArch's default netplay port, 55435.

Expected behavior

Netplay should always work for the Vita.

Actual behavior

Netplay either doesn't work or work only under certain conditions.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Start netplay as either host or client.

Bisect Results

Vita's netplay probably never worked as shown by unofficial forks fixing the problem.

Environment information

• OS: Vita
• Compiler: GCC/VitaSDK

Description

With vertically oriented games, Retroarch switches the emulator-provided width and height. For example, if the width/height is supposed to be 320x240, RA will switch this to 240x320. This only occurs with vertically oriented games. I tested this in both MAME and FBA using the Windows 64 bit version of RA.

Expected behavior

The game to be displayed using the correct resolution (width/height).

Actual behavior

The height and width is switched when a vertically oriented game is loaded.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. load any vertically oriented game in either FBA or MAME using Windows 64 bit version of RA (example: DonPachi)
2. under video settings, enable integer scale.
3. set "custom aspect ratio width/height" to 1x.
4. look at "custom aspect ratio width/height" to see that it says 240 for width and 320 for height. This is the reverse of what it should be; it should be 240 for height and 320 for width.

Bisect Results

I first noticed this a few days ago.

Description

With the new nVidia GeForce 387.92 video driver, the RetroArch Vulkan video driver only displays a black screen when starting any emulator. This only occurs in fullscreen mode. If you run in Windowed mode or alt-tab out of RetroArch and back in, then you'll get an image again (unless you change a resolution setting in the emulator causing the video driver to initialize).

nVidia's driver release notes say the following relating to the issue:

Implemented improved behavior for full-screen Vulkan swapchains using VK_KHR_win32_surface.

This optimization will cause more events that trigger an out-of-date swapchain, such as when entering or leaving full-screen mode (typically by pressing Alt+tab). Applications that do not properly respond to the VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DATE_KHR return code may not function properly when these events occur. See the WSI Swapchain section of the Vulkan specification.

Other users reporting the issue here: https://forums.libretro.com/t/vulkan-full-screen-broken-with-new-nvidia-drivers-387-92-win10/12691

Expected behavior

Video to be displayed normally.

Actual behavior

Screen goes black when starting any emulator

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Install nVidia Geforce Driver 387.92
2. Start any emulator in-game
3. Experience the black screen
4. Exit Fullscreen or simply alt-tab out and back in to get the image back

Bisect Results

Only occurs with 387.92 and up nVidia driver. Rolling back to 385.69 works fine.

I'm running the Pangu jailbreak on IOS 9.0.2 and it seems no matter which version of Retroarch I get (or where I get it from), the problem is the same: The app installs fine, but when I tap it it loads for a split second and then returns me to my icons. I tap the home button and it's running in the background, switch to it, and I'm returned (once again) to my icons. I'm assuming it's a problem due to the new IOS + Jailbreak but I'm not entirely sure.

This happened on 1.0.0.1 from the ZoDTTD repo, 1.0.0.2 from the buildbot page and both versions from the Kromite repo (http://kromite.github.io).

I've heard a lot of ranting about date / time, but this had no effect on the outcome.

DSI error ocurring randomly when launching ROMs under 1.67.

FBA mainline core seems to trigger it most often. Usually the first ROM will load ok, while subsequent ROMs may trigger the error.

Setup: Wii U 5.5.1, CBHC, launching Retroarch from channel. Same setup working fine previously, tried fresh .cfg as well with same results.

Further to this thread on the libretro boards: http://libretro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5206

I'm inquiring about the possible implementation of a WASAPI audio driver for Windows builds of Retroarch. This kind of solution is very popular in both audio playback and production and it would provide the following benefits:

• higher quality "bitperfect" audio, with the target application taking exclusive control of the audio, bypassing the Windows mixer stack and muting anything else;
• extremely low-latency response.

Description

Might be exclusive to UWP but with this #14777 PR when the Achievement Widget is set to anything but Top/Bottom Left then the pop-up text will bug out slightly and overlap with the game/cheevo badge when displaying the initial achievement pop-up on game load and achievement pop-ups.

Expected behavior

For the pop up to display properly and the text to not overlap with the badges.

Actual behavior

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Enable Achievements.
2. Change alignment to either top/bottom center/right.

3ds have 2 screens with a top screen resolution of 400x240 & bottom screen of 320x240. I think it would be great to have the ability to switch between 2 screens because the bottom screen has the correct pixel-perfect aspect ratio for most older consoles. I would love to play games on the bottom screen.

Start with xxxx.state.entry or xxxx.state0.entry do not works

Could we update actual selected slot after start a game. exemple: retroarh --entryslot 5 does update selected slot to 5
