PSP games launch only if I launch the PPSSPP core first

Hi, I’m having a weird issue, if I try to launch a PSP Iso directly from Retroarch, PPSSPP crashes instantly and I’m kicked back to the desktop. If I choose “load core”, load PPSSP, and launch a game, it crashes in the same way.

BUT, if I choose “load core”, load PPSSP, and then click “Resume” from the Quick Menu, even if there is nothing to resume since no game is loaded, I can load a PSP game, it does not crash.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this ? I’m on Linux, with the Vulkan driver (openGL does the same thing). Thanks.

It seems something is buggy with game loading. You can also not switch games. You have to close retroarch and open it againß

same issue. on me, old 2011 android device

before 1.6.5(??) was okay, but this issue first apeared during 1.6.6 or 1.6.7 times.

hard to guessing factor seems so. some workaround Tromzy says worked on early state of issue apeared.

but current 1.7.1 version with recent ppsspp core are even not worked that method.
