Description

Hi, I was just playing games and updated the parallel-n64 core. Now Retroarch crashes to desktop when loading a game.

Ok, so this is a new behavior. As long as I do not use graphics plugin glide-n64, I can launch games without a crash to desktop. However, glide-n64 is my favorite n64 graphics plugin as it gives games a more modern look. Used to work up until this latest version.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash when loading a game with the glide-n64 graphics plugin after updating the parallel-n64 core, then compare behavior without that plugin. Done means RetroArch can launch games with glide-n64 enabled without crashing to the desktop.
