Description

Retroarch Hatari 2014 log.zip

Hello again. I'm doing more testing with the Hatari cores on Vita; the current version works, but I notice it doesn't reach full speed in most games—likely because it has higher system requirements. I recall that the older Hatari 2014 core used to run at full speed on Vita a few years ago, but now there's an issue: when launching any game, the RetroArch app doesn't crash, but it automatically kicks me out to the PS Vita LiveArea.

Perhaps the problem is similar to the current core's issue where it couldn't correctly locate the BIOS path (ux0:data/retroarch/system/tos.img).

I've attached the RetroArch log.

Thanks for the support.

P.S. I'm using the latest nightly build from September 9th, with a fresh installation of the entire RetroArch application.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the launch failure on a PS Vita using the attached RetroArch Hatari 2014 log.zip and the latest nightly setup described in the issue. Compare the Hatari 2014 behavior with the current core, especially resolution of ux0:data/retroarch/system/tos.img. Done means games launch without returning to the PS Vita LiveArea and the relevant log no longer shows the failure.
