Onion Launcher: Booting into RetroArch doesn't always work + app support

[no008080]

Steps to reproduce the issue:

• Place "RADirectLaunch.enable" in the .tmp_update folder.
• Activate Onion Launcher.
• Power down, boot up again. You're now in RetroArch (works so far)
• Start a game inside of RetroArch, close game. It's always explicitly after i close a game and then...
• Power down.
• When i power up again, i get thrown into the Onion Menu.

I feel like what's missing is Onion Launcher's support for apps and not just games. As of now i'd have to shut down the Mini while playing a game, otherwise i end up back in the Onion Menu.

Firmware: 20220419 OnionOS: v3.10.5

I've been seeing similar issues with certain games/emulators (namley mame and occasionally PS1). The best repro I've come up with (still somewhat erratic though) is...

• Enable onion launcher
• play ms pac man on mame2003 plus
• turn off device (while game is active)
• turn on device -- (maybe 50% of the time) dumped into main miyoo menu.

Once in this state it's a bit of a pita to get back out... What I've been doing is

• disable onion launcher
• restart device
• enable onion launcher
• start a different game from a console emulator (nes, snes, or genesis are my goto's)
• exit game
• restart device

If anyone has easier/cleaner steps to get onion launcher re-enabled, Id be thrilled

Found the fix for the launcher instabilities, particularity on PS1 games.

• RADirectLaunch.enable

I followed carefully your instructions but I can't reproduce your issue. I will leave this ticket open in case 3.10.6 does not help in this regards.

I am closing the ticket now as no008080 confirmed it fixed his issue too.

[ghackett]

In that case the issue I'm seeing might be different. I repro'd the issue with mame and PS1 last night. I'll open a different ticket once I can figure out a more consistent repro

[Sichroteph]

sure, if I can reproduce it I will be be able to quickly fix it.
