Description

Raspberry PI 4 model B
Lakka OS: Nightly Build Nov 11,2020 RPI4 ARM

I have seen this particular game crash on a PC as well "Jeanne D' Arc" it boots up then shows a studio screen and crashes shortly after. Even using a different rom source there the crash still happens.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached retroarch_PPSSPP.log and Retroarch PPSSPP 2 dsc.log files, then reproduce Jeanne D' Arc and DarkStalkers Chronicle The Chaos Tower on a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B using the listed Lakka nightly build. Done means identifying and resolving the crash and black-screen behavior, with both games reaching normal gameplay.
