Checking 'Optimize for newer games' crashes the app instantly #16

First of all thank you for your work! I compiled the app with no errors following the instructions. Checking 'Optimize for newer games' in a dos prompt crashes the app instantly (same crash occurs when I try to import some particular games, where, I suspect, the box is automatically checked). I've attached the crash report. crash_report.txt

Can confirm. So it's an issue with at least 10.15, and is also present on 11.

The method that crashes is

static void cache_init(bool enable)

in dyn_cache.h

A (stupid but effective) workaround is to put enable = false; on the top of that method.
