Problem with mupen64gles2 or 3 close the app

Hello. I can’t use these two cores. I try to upload a .z64 backup but it closes retroarch. I have the log that speaks of some error in the disk 8/16bit attach the log.

why we need to open a content for change core options… why? i know core have cfg file ok. but why the core menu options only popup with roms? if roms fail to load we can’t change the internal options…

Using old --libretro behavior. Setting libretro_directory to "/data/user/0/com.retroarch.aarch64/cores/" instead.

Thanks for including a log.

It looks like your GPU driver doesn’t provide enough vulkan features for ParaLLEl-RDP to function:

As for why you can’t modify core options without loading a game, it’s because the core has to be loaded and running for RetroArch to talk to the core enough to even know what options it has.

naxil · 26 January 2022 15:04

I’m probably confused… parallel core n64 works here. and i remember old mupen core works aswell before this update… mupen64gles2 and 3 use parallel rdp?

hunterk · 26 January 2022 15:05

It’s certainly trying to use it, at least in the end of your log there.

naxil · 26 January 2022 15:09

and now without loading a game how do I change the plugins? this thing is a bit uncomfortable, I realized that the core is activated only by loading a game, but it would not hurt to be able to intervene on the option variables before loading. since these options block the core

hunterk · 26 January 2022 15:44

you can open the config/[corename]/[corename].opt file in a text editor and delete the offending lines, or just delete the whole file to return it to default settings.

sgtgoomba · 11 March 2024 15:06

TLDR: Is there a workaround for this issue that doesn’t involve turning off Vulkan? Vulkan works for all of my other cores and standalone emulators on my device. Thanks for developing this emulator!

More context: Mupen64plus with ParaLLEl-RDP crashes for me also on same “does not support 8/16-bit storage” error, requiring config file edit or delete to open roms again with that core. I understand this to be caused by a GPU driver not supporting a required Vulkan feature, normally fixed by updating drives. In my case, I’m using the AArch64 version of Retroarch on a Nintendo Switch using Android 11 via the Switchroot. Switchroot devs say Switch “can’t be updated to Vulkan” because “our libraries from Nvidia do not support vk 1.2.” (More switchrood discord chatter gets into the weeds as to why, but it’s over my head. Suffice to say, can’t be done.) However, Vulkan does work on every other core on the device using PPSSPP Standalone, NES, SNES, Final Burn Neo, Genesis, and many others. N64 cores are the only ones that crash with Vulkan. N64 emulation is quite complex, so it wouldn’t suprise me if it requires a more complete Vulkan implementation than the other emus that aren’t crashing, but I wonder if there is a workaround or old version that supports Vulkan but perhaps doesn’t implement the Vulkan features that are causing this crash on my device?
