Yaba Sanshiro Core Always Crashing

Libretro Cores
#1

Just found out last few days when using Yaba Sanshiro it just Crashes all the Time.

I tried giving Fresh Config File and Fresh RA Config file and Also Cheats on and Off but still Crashes. A

Here is the Log I got:

So I am hoping someone can help me please to fix the Crashing Problem

#2

Update:

Done some more Testing and the 1st Time I see it’s not Crashing was going back to 1.12.0 64 bit Version from 1.14. 64 Bit Version

So that makes me think it’s something to do with Retroarch instead of the Yaba Sanshiro Core

#3

Tried to replicate with my old (i think 1 month old) yaba sanshiro core, it seems to work fine with tomb raider and RA 1.14, I only let it run and worked fine, then updated the cores to test the most recent core and it loaded, then pressed fast forward and shortly after RA froze completely, after some more tests it seems like anything pressed on the keyboard (dont have a controller pluged) F1, enter, space etc. makes the core/RA to freeze shortly after.

Since I tested a older version of the core tried to restore from RA backup but to my surprise the backup and the latest are the same(?), so now im not able to test it with the older one and since in the older one I dont pressed any key cant confirm if the older core worked.

I normally Press Fast Forward on Games.

Also was Testing Cheats thru Retroarch as Cheats don’t work on Beetle Saturn.

Thanks @cuyo01 for finding the Reason why it Crashes and then Hopefully can find a Fix for it

As mentioned in https://docs.libretro.com/library/yabasanshiro/, “This core is outdated, known for having many issues, and unmaintained”.

The only update attempt it received over the past 2 years was breaking that core further and got reverted a few hours later. To summarize, no core update caused your regression, that core’s stability was always that bad and tbh it’s kind of a mystery that you were able to use it reliably until now, it’s probably settings-related.

I’d recommend using other saturn cores if you can.

I been using Beetle Saturn Core but I wanted chests to work on Dragon Force they worked on Yubuse and Krnos Core.

Using Yabuse as seems to work better with Dragon Force
