Description

The Mupen64 core, and only the Mupen64 core, crashes whenever I attempt to resize the window, minimize it, alt-tab, fullscreen, window, and pretty much even touch the game's window. In order to play, I must keep the game in a perpertual, start up fullscreen and avoid multitasking at all -- because, should I press F to window the emulation, it will crash. I have no idea what may be causing this, but I get a d3d error whenever I start up RetroArch. The Mupen64 emulator works and does not cause this problem, only the Libretro core.

Research direction

Reproduce the crash in RetroArch using the Mupen64 core, especially while resizing, minimizing, switching focus, or toggling fullscreen. Start by examining the reported d3d error and compare the core's behavior with the standalone Mupen64 emulator; done means these window actions no longer crash the core.
