I just tested the release build 2.3 on a Switch with firmware 17.0.1 without any issue. Did it work before? Have you tested other emulators or homebrew games?

Hi,I have managed to play Retroarch without any issue (SNES and Sega Genesis core) for quite some times.This was my first attempt of running Flycast on the Dreamcast.If this helps, I use the same .CDIs and Bios files on Flycast 2.3 on my M3 Pro Mac flawlessly.Attached please find a picture of the “stuck screen”.BestAlexAm 17.04.2024 um 09:13 schrieb flyinghead @.***>: I just tested the release build 2.3 on a Switch with firmware 17.0.1 without any issue.

There's no screenshot attached to your comment.

SNES and Genesis are 8/16-bit emulators so they don't use any JIT recompiler or virtual memory, which may explain why they work and Flycast doesn't.

Also make sure to run Flycast as a game and not as an app (don't use the album for the homebrew menu).
