A crash is rather odd, but Vulkan is required for N64 emulation and it will not work without it; the expected behavior is that you'd have missing or broken video output.
I just saw this though:
source: https://ares-emu.net/news/ares-v127--released
Also: I think I may have read somewhere before that Vulkan may be required, but I can't find it anywhere on the website when I actually try to look for it.
I don't know. In any case a crash is unexpected indeed.
I can run the emulator perfectly when I switch to Windows though. But I suspect the nvidia driver there DOES have Vulkan support (although I haven't bothered to verify that yet)
MAME RDP support was discontinued in newer releases and is no longer available. You can't use the N64 core without Vulkan support as it is required by parallel-rdp.
The video options in Settings > Drivers are strictly for putting game images on the screen and don't impact cores directly.
allright.
So it appears the only real bug here is that it crashes instead of showing some kind of error notification.
I don't know if anyone is inclined to fix this or not. It's up to you whether to close this ticket or not. I can imagine this to be low priority if you decide to fix it.
Anyway, thanks for responding so quickly.
Describe the bug I'm trying to run Ares on my Kubuntu 18.04 installation. I built using make -j 12 && make install.
I have an Nvidia Quadro P1000 with binary driver 530.41.03 and I don't have Vulkan support as far as I know.
Yet the application crashes on vulkan stuff when trying to launch a rom, even though OpenGL 3.2 is selected as my video driver in the Ares settings:
To Reproduce I can reproduce this on both Ares v138 and v139.
Expected behaviour No crash
