Description
First and foremost consider this:
- Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
- This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented
Description
When I toggle the retroarch quick menu from Hotkey+Select, if I try to resume content it hard crashes RetroArch and game content freezes.
Expected behavior
RetroArch should be able to resume game Content and not freeze.
Actual behavior
RetroArch does a hard crash and you cannot exit the game content.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Use these relevant config settings in retroarch.cfg:
# This is the ps3 controller select button.
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "0"
# This is the ps3 controller start button.
input_exit_emulator_btn = "3"
# ps3 controller home button.
input_menu_toggle_btn = "16"
- Start game.
- Press Select + Home (to get into retroarch quick menu).
- Select the Resume Content option and it should hard crash.
