PS1 ROM Crashes App

Hi Everyone,

New here, so apologies if I’ve missed something…

I’m trying to get Retroarch to run a couple of PS1 ROMS using reARMed or Beetle, and it’s constantly crashing.

Phone is Samsung GS20+ with he exynos chip (not Qualcomm).

Log is as follows -

Any ideas what is happening?

Cheers,

Justin.

240p test suite doesn’t run on either core currently. Have you tried any other games?

Yep. Have tried Jet Moto and F12007, both of which give the same failure.

Strangely (or not?) both work on GS9.
