Description

Hi,

I am trying to get it work in the latest RetroArch that is available, but after I compiled everything (with the changes inside), the CIA version is printing out "sdmc:/retroarch/ but after that it freezes and it crashes the application. However, the homebrew version just works as expected.

Any hotfixes to make this work?

Thanks

Research direction

Start by reproducing startup in the CIA version with the latest RetroArch build and compare it with the working homebrew version. Use the last printed sdmc:/retroarch/ path to investigate where startup stops; done means the CIA version launches without freezing or crashing.
