PPSSPP crashing at launch

Libretro Cores
#4

@hunterk

the drivers setting is set to open gl i also tried vulkan too i am currently using the latest version of retroarch but i have noticed this happening on earlier versions of retroarch too.

i have the newest version standalone version of ppsspp installed and that works fine with good speed too. i just curious as to why it does not work on retroarch as other cores work very well on it

@mlurie

i downloaded the archive, there is more than one assets folder, as i am using android do i use assets folder from the ppsspp-master\android\assets directory?

#5

In the …/RetroArch/system directory create a new folder called PPSSPP. Extract only the contents of the “assets” folder from the archive you downloaded from GitHub to the PPSSPP folder. The directory structure should be …/RetroArch/system/PPSSPP/.

#6

thanks for the advice but i tried it and the same problem occurs

#7

Please try the assets from: https://github.com/libretro/ppsspp/tree/master/assets (not the ones in the android folder)

(!) PPSSPP requires the asset files, lang folder, and flash0 folder inside the ‘system\PPSSPP’ directory.

Thanks tried the ones from that link, but still the same problem

#16

take a look at PPSSPP - Can't ever get this to work

I turned off rewind and it worked for me too.

#17

rewind didnt work for me but i discovered that if you load the core first then use the online updater to download and extract the retroarch assets.zip… any game will load up no problem… there seems to be an issue with retroarch assets, something must be happening when restarting retroarch

Hello, I’m also looking for a solution on this:

  • PPSSPP files are in /system
  • rewind is disabled
  • updated assets
  • tested different video drivers
  • tried even with cube.elf, but still doesn’t work

Any idea? :frowning:

#24

When did you put the PPSSPP Files in System?

#25

I got the files from an old pack of “/system” files with everything on it.

Do you think I should update the “/system/PPSSPP” contents? Where could I find the new files to do that?

#26

Here you will find answers:

TL;DR:
Download the repository https://github.com/libretro/ppsspp/archive/master.zip and copy the content of the ppsspp-master/assets/ folder to your /system/PPSSPP/ folder

Any shader, overlay, video layout enabled?

[EDIT]
Can you post a log?

#30

As far as I know, no sharders, overlays or layouts.
