Description

RetroAchievements on PS Vita prevents any games from loading.

On the latest build with a PS Vita with a fresh install of 3.65 h-encore2, everytime a game is launched (tried both gpSP and SNES 2005 Plus cores) with RetroAchievements enabled, the game will not load. The screen hangs with the image of the console gamepad and banner that usually displays the game title, with a graphical popup stuck coming into the bottom of the screen. Turning off RA enhancements like sound on achievement or hardcore mode has no effect. The only way to get games to launch again is via disabling RA. I have also tried turning off graphical widgets but this has no effect.

Expected behavior

Games to launch with RetroAchievements enabled.

Actual behavior

Game does not launch.

Steps to reproduce the bug
  1. Enable RetroAchievements and provide username and password.
  2. Launch a game.
  3. Game will hang.
