Xbox build fails to start / failed to load core #32

ckeisc commented 2 years ago

A few months ago, I notice that Xbox One (UWP) build of Retroarch dosbox-core core would fail to start core and in the most recent release, the core does not even load anymore. The dosbox pure and dosbox SVN core both load and start fine.

The Last Known Good build that I know for sure is based on the commit below. After that some commit seems to break starting core and then some time after that, the core no longer loads.

The environment is Xbox One Series X which runs UWP flavor but most likely repro on all Xbox One flavors.

I'm not sure I understand. There is no xbox build of this core.

Retroarch has a Windows UWP port on their official site. Xbox One and the new Xbox One Series consoles can run this UWP port in dev mode. A group has been signing and publishing this port and releasing them to retail Xbox as well. 3 dosbox cores are available in this UWP port runnable on Xbox - Dosbox core, Dosbox Pure and Dosbox SVN.

you could see the Retroarch on Xbox in action below. The video did not show the dosbox cores specifically but they are there. https://youtu.be/3kCtgIwlHFg

Hm. Well, I don't have an xbox, so I can't help I'm afraid.
