RetroArch crashes with hardware-based cores

[toao1985]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• This is a bug in RetroArch frontend
• I have searched the existing issues

Description

General System Information: x86_64 machines, running Ubuntu-based distributions as the operational system. AppImage release of RetroArch v1.20.0. Video driver selected as vulkan. Cores fully updated by the date of this report.

---

Some specific actions make RetroArch crash, which materializes as the application suddenly and promptly closing, as if it was forcibly closed through a task manager. That behavior tends to happen with many hardware-based cores, listed below.

Expected behavior

No response

Steps to reproduce the bug

• Flycast core crashes

  • Happens when you use fast-forward.
  • Example log below.
    Flycast Core Crashes - Fast Forward.log

• PPSSPP core crashes

  • Happens when you use fast-forward.
  • Happens when you load a game for the second time in a row using the same core (workaround: quit or restart RetroArch after quitting each game).
  • Example log files below.
    PPSSPP Core Crashes - Fast Forward.log
    PPSSPP Core Crashes - Loading Second Game In A Row.log

• Dolphin core crashes

  • Happens when you use fast-forward.
  • Example log file below.
    Dolphin Core Crashes - Fast Forward.log

Small exception

• Mupen64Plus-Next core crashes
  • Happens when you load a game and select "restart" in RetroArch's quick menu.
  • But only when using ParaLLEl.
  • Works fine with GLideN64.
  • It actually freezes, not crashes. Need to be manually terminated through a task manager.
  • Doesn't generate a useful log file.
