Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- This is a bug in RetroArch frontend
- I have searched the existing issues
Description
When I try to enter my username "KoozDude" into the Settings > Achievements > Username panel on the AppleTV version of RetroArch, I find that RetroArch very often quits, usually when I am typing the third character in the name. I have not been able to get the entire thing entered yet. It would be nice if this were fixed.
Expected behavior
I expected to be able to enter my name without crashing
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Launch RetroArch (using the xmb interface driver)
- Choose Settings
- Choose Achievements
- Choose Username
- Start typing in the name "KoozDude" with this exact capitalization
RetroArch will crash after a few keypresses

Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash in RetroArch 1.22.2 on Apple TV 14,1 using the XMB interface, following the listed Settings > Achievements > Username steps. Compare behavior with a nightly build if available and capture a relevant log or crash trace. Done means entering "KoozDude" no longer causes RetroArch to quit.
