Description

Description

Xbox series s
Since feb 2024
Retroarch latest version
After i down and extract assets, the screen turns black.
Also, if i try to start a game, any core, aound plays but screen stays black.
I tried all video drivers, same result.
I tried to change the resolution of reteoarch, no success.

Expected behavior

Before xbox series s system update before feb 2024, all worked good. No blackscreen after extracting new assets. Core played games perfectly.

Actual behavior

Screen turn black but sound does play. It is as if retroarch is working but does not output video correctly anymore.

Since this also happens after i update the retroarch aeests, i suspect it is not linked to cores but to retroarch video output, any driver on xbox series x after ms updated the system.

Steps to reproduce the bug
  1. Update xbox to latest system version/os
  2. install retroarxh latest version
  3. update assests or just start a game

Latest retroarch version.
Xbox series s, latest system update installed.

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the black-screen and working-audio behavior on an Xbox Series S after updating assets and the Xbox system, then compare video output across the tried drivers and resolutions; done means games render video again while audio continues to work.
