PC reboots after running Saturnus for a while

Open YoshiRulz opened this issue 2 months ago • 2 comments

Happens with multiple Saturn games, but not the DOOM core. Apparently this happens on both Windows and Linux.

Reported by /u/Warblefly41 on Reddit. Their specs are a Ryzen 9 5900X and a Radeon RX7900 XTX.

Saturnus is waterboxed, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say this is a hardware fault because the core physically cannot do this.

Edited in their specs. I have to agree with you, but while my initial hunch was some rare combination of instructions causing some microcode something fail, I'm now leaning towards it being a power consumption issue. edit: Having the core loaded but paused didn't cause a reboot, which I think supports the power overdraw hypothesis.
