4 years ago @Cinibonswirl26 Have you enabled logging with debug level to try and see if something shows the reason why this happens? Also, what system are you on? If you're on Windows, go to the Event Viewer > Applications and try to see if there is a log at the time of error that references RetroArch or Beetle core.

4 years ago Same problem here on Shield arm 64 bit. Didn't try arm 32 bit. Could this be the same as bug #157 [Core not working on NVIDIA Shield TV after lastest update to Retroarch 1.7.8]?

4 years ago Also happens to my Android device, every game I tested gives me a black screen for ~3 seconds and crash RA. If I'm fast enough I can call the Quick Menu, but when resuming it crashes. Couldn't find any error in log. Saturn bios files are correct.

can you try at least latest core and retroarch? if still the same, enable DEBUG level for both frontend and core log levels and send logs again.

Interesting...😆 You know what pal, you said that you could call the quick menu out, this is very important, It craches when you resume, of course it craches, because nothing has been changed. But I changed something and it works. It's pretty simple. After calling the quick menu, go to "disc control", select "eject disc", then "resume", surprisingly it didn't crash, we are in the SEGA SATURN's Bios. So we successfully bypassed that "crash point", it's running and stable, and next what you want to do is just to call quick menu again, go to "disc control", select "insert disc", then "resume", like on a real machine. It will read the disc first, after it recognized the game, launch it, you will see that beautiful SEGA logo, and enjoy your game.
I don't know what's going on exactly, but from how this core behaves, I guess it's the Saturn's Bios animation that caused this issue, because it works if we could bypass that animation. I don't know... may be I'm totally wrong, but at least it's working now, and it runs very well. all my favorite games run with full speed without any issue so far.
By the way my phone is SONY xperia 1. Retroarch 1.9.0 the latest, this problem only happened on android version, no problem at all on Windows 10.

@yuanye8425 Mate, that's awesome! Tried on my phone and it really works (though now I discovered that my Samsung runs Guardian Heroes like sh*t lol, but still, it works!)

@negativeExponent thanks for the instructions! Without using yuanye's workaround, I did the test and it seems the problem still persists. I know I'm not OP, but I think it will help, since it's the same issue. Here are my logs with RA 1.9.0 and latest core (not sure if it changes anything, but I made one using gl and one with vulkan).
Phone's a Samsung A51.

If you didn't say that you can still call quick menu before crash. I wouldn't be able to figure it out with this workaround. 😏. That was very very important. Because I thought that this core is not running at all...
Guardian Heroes runs at 60fps and it's stable here. What's the processor of your phone? In my experience. Saturn's emulation needs a powerful processor, at least snapdragon 845, even 835 was not enough. My previous phone is Samsung note 8 with 835, Saturn's emulation runs not bad on it but not good enough. After I have changed to SONY xperia 1 with snapdragon 855. I can feel its power.😆 damn good. I tried dophin immediately, threw some game cube and wii games in. It runs very well. xenoblade chronicles full speed on a phone! Damn extraordinary job! Those emu devs are just amazing. They brought us something we can't even imagine before. They are so lovely.

3 years ago That SD 855 sure packs a punch 😄 Unfortunately my phone is much humbler, rocking a mid-range Exynos 9611 and 4GB of RAM. As for Guardian Heroes, I discovered it runs quite well with the standalone Yaba Sanshiro emulator on Android, but I'm aware that Beetle/Mednafen is way more accurate and demanding, so I'm not exactly surprised.
Also, I agree with you, emulators are a godsend and their devs are amazing!

@hunterk
I'll delete my previous reply and give more info then. This issue still exists, and it's independent of the CHD problem. It crashes with CUEs/BINs too. The ejecting and inserting disc trick still works, but is not ideal, obviously. This trick is not necessary when using the 32-bit build of Beetle Saturn, but that build doesn't run Beetle Saturn as well. I'm using a Galaxy s20 Ultra on Android 11.

still having the same issue. Your workaround works on my phone.
Game: V Goal' 97 (this game has display problem on Yabause. So it must be run in Beetle) Retroarch version: 1.9.9 Aarach64 Android 10 Snapdragon 690 8GB Memory
Beetle Saturn always crashes 5 seconds after launching a game. Have tried multiple games, always crashes app. It appears that it's able to launch the game as it does not display a "Failed to Load Content" error
