Retroarch crashes when loading a PSP game.

I found a workaround,

This guy shared a core that works perfectly.

I apologize if this isn't the best bug report, if this isn't the right place to post it etc.
I just thought it could be good to share the problem.

Expected behavior

Play GTA, steal cars, shoot people :D, what's not expected is the crash :(

Simply start a PSP game using PPSSPP core

Platform & operating system

Nintendo Switch running 19.0.1, latest atmosphere update

Affected Cores

PPSSPP

Start by reproducing the crash on a Nintendo Switch running OS 19.0.1 with the PPSSPP core and a PSP game, then inspect retroarch__2026_02_15__05_21_31.log and retroarch__2026_02_15__05_21_39.log. Compare the working core linked in the report with the affected nightly build; done means PSP games load without RetroArch crashing.
