Have you tried reinstalling (a.k.a., turning it off and back on)?

Other than that, your refresh rate is not going to be usable at 38 hz, and someone else I found online with a similar error for another program apparently didn’t have enough RAM, which was causing it to fail.

#3

Are you by chance forcing RetroArch to install on a SD card or somewhere other than internal memory? If you are, don’t do that.

Other than that try reinstalling.

#4

E/AndroidRuntime( 2769): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{org.retroarch/android.app.NativeActivity}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to find native library: retroarch-activity

This seems to indicate to me that somebody tried messing with the order of the library files if it can’t find retroarch-activity in its usual place.

Like ToadKing said, don’t do the install to SD card or try to forcibly move it there. The reason this works for other programs/emus/apps yet it doesn’t for ours is that ours is a native activity.

#5

Updated it to r14 via playstore yesterday. Now it works.

I didn’t move it to SD but I used link2SD, because this phone doesn’t have enough space to install such a big app. Anyway now it works yet it’s very slow on this phone.

#6

If you move RetroArch to an SD card with an app like that, the native activity binaries will not run, period. External memory is mounted noexec on Android and native activities will fail when you try to load them.

Also, I see your device is an old Cortex A8 clocked at 700Mhz so I’m not surprised performance is bad. That’s probably less speed than our Gamecube port.

It is way worse than a Gamecube in fact since even a Cortex A8 clocked at 1.2GHz with Android performs at least -10/-15fps lower than a Gamecube.
