Description
I'm playing on Switch and I recently updated from 1.7.8 to 1.9.0 and then 1.9.2 latest.
- Launching RetroArch now takes 80 seconds!
- Launching content (I'm playing Beetle VB right now) also takes takes 80 seconds
I've removed all cores I won't use, a trick needed on 3DS, but there has been no speed up.
What is the cause of this slowness?
I plan to downgrade my RetroArch back to a version before this and I'll report back.
Switch 10.2
CFW AMS 0.15.0
