Saturn Kronos core crashes on save state?! (Help!)

Also, can you confirm 03270c0 is showing up as commit hash at the bottom left corner of RA menu ?

#57

I don’t get it. I pasted it on that site you posted and re-pasted it here. And it still looks all jumbled up…Before I post the text looks normal.

#58

Wait ? What ? You must paste the link after pasting to that site

#59

You talked about editing it here. What special thing am I supposed to do to make the text come out normal?

#60

One last try :

  1. Copy the logs to pastebin.com
  2. Click on “Create new paste”
  3. Copy the new url from your browser and paste it here

You have yet to answer my question about the commit hash

#61

I don’t see anything on the left side. You mean when the game is running?

Here is the link to my log:

#62

Yes, open the retroarch menu when the game is running

#63

Yes it is indeed 03270c0. Here is my log when the game crashed at savestate:

#64

You aren’t using default settings, especially for the “SH-2 cpu core” core option you are using “old”, which is unsupported as said in the core option’s description…

#65

How do I enable default settings? Where is this option? I don’t see any default options in the core setting in the retroarch settings…

#66

Oh I see it’s in the kronos options while the game is running. So I switched it from “old” to “Kronos”. Do you want another log?

#67

Yes, to make sure it’s still crashing at the same place

#68

Okay here it is. The game is still crashing at savestate:

#69

Ok, so it doesn’t change anything. Well, since it seems to crash early in the savestate process, i’m more and more worried the ssd is somehow preventing the creation of that tmpfile, i’ll try to come up with a way to verify this later this week-end.

#70

Strange…Thanks for your help!

#71

Also question: when the game is running and in the Kronos options…what option smooths out and upscales the graphics? Because I know in the Yabause standalone emulator you could set User Integer Pixel Scaling to 4 and it would upscale the graphics.

#72

I think just bumping the resolution option up from “Original” to 480/720/1080/etc does that.

#74

I get a pretty bad amount of slowdown when I select 1080 resolution. Does anyone else get any slowdown in framerate when playing in 1080? Is there any way to improve the framerate if you continue to play at this resolution?

I don’t know why I’m getting slowdown at 1080p in Retroarch while in standalone Yabause the framerate is fine at 1080p.

#75

@legaiaflame Most games I have tried on both Yaba and Kronos seem to be running at full speed or super close for me. For whatever reason, Batsugun was running like crap through Kronos.

#76

And that’s totally normal, the more you upscale things, the more you solicit your gpu, your gpu can’t keep up with 1080p upscaling.

I don’t even know what you are talking about, Yabause is a software-rendered emulator, meaning the gpu isn’t used for rendering and no upscaling is available.
