Hi! when load a game the emulator close…my doubts are, should the roms be decompressed or not? second … what video driver do I have to use? I use vulcan … the rom files have to some specific order?
a screenshot of my roms.

We don’t support RAR archives. Video driver shouldn’t matter.
Actually, in Windows 10 I cannot get Vulcan to launch Atari 2600 games. I use DirectX 11
Does it work with other cores? Can you post a log?
Stella is software-rendered, so it shouldn’t matter which driver you use.
I just noticed there is a Stella 6.1 beta core but it does not work at all for me. My roms are extracted and in .a26 format from the No-Intro rom set, the old Stella 2014 core works.
Can you get a verbose log of one of the failures?

DrMingw 0.8.2Is there anything informative in a regular RetroArch log or does it just crash out silently?
It just crashes out silently.

Hi, I’ll try to post a log at monday at most, since I’m in the middle of a deadline at my job and I’m not near my GPD Win.
In the meantime, do I have to install something in the GPD Win to enable Vulcan use?
you’ll probably need to install the latest vendor driver and possibly vulkan-specific libraries.
It works flawlessly here with the Windows 10 1809 build, using Vulkan.
I tried 3 different installs on my system, 1.7.5 stable which is my daily use install, a fresh 1.7.5 install I use for experimentation and a fresh 1.7.6 nightly build I just downloaded to try and troubleshoot this. I am on Windows 10 1803 with an Nvidia 1080Ti graphics card. I tried different video drivers in RA, GL, DX11 and Vulkan, all of them crash out. I have no idea what could be happening on my end here with this since I have had very few issues with any cores over the years other than an occasional configuration error on my end which is why I grabbed a fresh nightly build. I also just tried scanning my 2600 roms into a playlist and that just tells me Failed to open libretro core.
That’s weird, the only time it happened to me was on Android with gpsp_libretro core, it said exactly the same you mentioned, failed to open libretro core. I think it was Hunterk that said this core, at least at the time I tried wouldn’t work on Android 6 and above due to some incompatibilities or something like that.
Since I’m running a Windows 10 build 1809 and it’s working as it should, not only Stella core but all others too, I have no idea what’s happening there, do you have any other PC or laptop to try it?
Edit: As a last resort, try my current core, it dates back to Feb 20:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bDvCi64gPG0CKkypyyrwtw0sjCrUh9lf
Edit 2: I just tried the latest Stella core which dates back to yesterday 20190504 and it works flawlessly too, so the one I uploaded for you to try will probably not work as well, but you should give it a go anyways.

The 2014 core which is the old Stella 3.9.3 works fine for me.

Have the same problem, Stella crashes when loading a rom, stella 2014 works well though. I have a radeon card (maybe that’s the problem?) and tested with opengl and vulkan. All other cores work well.
I just tried on my 2nd PC which also has an Nvidia graphics card (GTX 970) and no luck there either.
I have the same problem (RA 1.7.7; Win 10 64Bit; Nvidia GPU).
Stella crashes. Stella 2014 works fine.
Well, it turns out I was using RA 1.7.6 and it worked with the latest Stella core, in 1.7.7 it doesn’t work as you guys said above.
The same also on my computer, new stella core crashes silently without any message…
