Installing new retroarch, cores not showing up and vulkan unselectable

So I was trying to use beetle hw to play koudelka, but noticed its extremely prone to crashing, and when upscaling there was some really bad texture flickering. The interface was also kind of buggy, it was too zoomed out or something and text was glitching into each other.

Thought I’d try a fresh install, but when I downloaded it and went to the core menu only a handful of cores show up, and I can’t select vulkan despite having a gpu capable of vulkan, what’s going on?

Using windows 10 64 bit, downloading latest version of retroarch.

did you install the msvc build, by chance?

I fixed it, I think I did either install that or the 32 bit build, downloading 64 bit build made it worked.

I couldn’t get koudelka to work upscaled to even 2x without looking horrible on multiple emulators, though I guess that’s moreso just the nature of ps1 upscaling.
