Wii U - freezing immediately

hizzlekizzle commented 1 year ago

Description

In the last couple of days, the Wii U build has been freezing immediately on launch/load, according to this report: https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroArch/comments/176qdvp/pcsx_rearmed_on_wii_u_was_so_amazing_then_i/ and confirmed by Ploggy in discord

Steps to reproduce

On Wii U, at least, it's immediate. Just load a game or a state.

When did the behavior start?

Just in the past couple of days. According to Ploggy's testing, it was one of these 4 commits: https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/commit/e53fec7170e512a8d315c6d8d04a5492b4f14312

https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/commit/492a6fbbc06968dd93f7ec470327b0e463d9f3ed

https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/commit/9a18263477619dad5f4d51c7b00f5929da15843a

https://github.com/libretro/pcsx_rearmed/commit/55ff71307db44c3122500104b83c21273853025c My first guess was that maybe the new compile-time switch isn't being set to the necessary value?

Your device/OS/platform/architecture

Wii U

Logs (enable file logging and set log levels to DEBUG for core and frontend)

Screenshots (if needed for visual confirmation)

Others (save states and/or save files nearest to the affected area, compressed)

Bisecting has narrowed down the commit to this?
