Gearsystem crashes retroarch when trying to launch it

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

Whenever I try to launch Gearsystem with Retroarch 1.9.0, Retroarch crashes. Is there a way to fix this?

#2

first thing to try would be updating to a newer RetroArch. Other than that, I guess a log may tell us what’s up.

#3

I willingly kept myself from updating to keep my .cg shaders. And I already tried a newer version. Same results

EDIT: I checked the log and the error is “Did not find a valid content patch”

Here is the log:

this is only the very beginning of the log, unfortunately. Make sure your logging verbosities are set to 0-debug

How about this?
