  • This is a bug in RetroArch frontend

Description

When opening any core on RetroArch no video is displayed audio is present. Upon switching to Vulkan rendering video works.

My guess is there seems either be a problem with glcore or video drivers for the Snapdragon elite.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on Android 15 with a Snapdragon 8 Elite using the Glcore renderer, then compare the same core with Vulkan. The work is done when video output appears while using Glcore; the payload does not identify a file or test to run.
