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
On ps vita both core information and system information are missing the git version which makes it difficult to keep track on changes and bug reporting. Also the git version is missing on the lower left corner of the screen. This does not happen on nintendo switch.
See screenshots for a better explanation:

Research direction
Start from RetroArch's Information/System Information views and the lower-left screen display on a PS Vita build, then compare their behavior with the Nintendo Switch screenshots. Done means the git version appears in core information, system information, and the lower-left display on PS Vita.
