Thx for the input and additonal info!
I’m not sure if the issue is related to “Black screen and crash after launching a game with a shader preset (with long reference)”.
If it were, what would be the fix? I don’t really understand the issue, tbh.
I set up a clean RetroArch install on the root of one of my drives to test, but it didn’t work there, either. Same issue.
Edit: @Duimon and @Starman99x
Here is the log file when trying to launch the Azahar core with the shader. Maybe you can make sense of it?

Any idea why it would work with OpenGL and not with Vulkan?
