Description

Description

Open RA, open a game. Turn on BT controller. Crash. Repeatable.
This is a brand new install of 975aecb 1.9. Also brand new 1.9.0 stable install does not do this.
It is possible the core may be doing this. Snes9x (1.6.0 975aecb)

Expected behavior

RA to notify a controller is plugged in and work as normal.

Actual behavior

Crash to desktop

Steps
  1. Open (any?) SNES (or otherconsole?) game in RA fullscreen - windowed (also buggy btw, windows key no longer works in this mode like it did in 1.9 stable)
  2. SNES9x 1.6.0 975aecb - turn on BT controller. Crash

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash on Windows 10 with the RetroArch and Snes9x versions described, then inspect the attached retroarch__2020_12_14__17_11_24.log and retroarch__2020_12_14__17_11_03.log. Done means Bluetooth controller activation no longer crashes RetroArch and the controller works normally in the tested game.
