TIC80 freezes while changing the SOFTWARE_RENDERING option of the config.tic file #2264

Hi,

I tried to change the SOFTWARE_RENDERING parameter on v1.1 and when I save, it freezes TIC80. Note that it does not freezes the computer therefore I can close TIC80 easily, that's not a big problem.

I was testing this while writing a wiki page about the config.tic file and I still don't understand what this SOFTWARE_RENDERING parameter does, can someone explain me or add it to the wiki: https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/wiki/System-configuration-cartridge-config.tic ?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like SOFTWARE_RENDERING may have been added in response to this issue.

At least this line and this line seem to suggest so.

Ok, so it allows to switch from SDLGPU to SDL2 rendering which may be more stable but does not allow to use CRT effect if I get it right. I'll put that on the wiki, linking the issue. Thanks
