[Android] Emulation freezes on savestate loading

[ya-isakov]

Hello! I'm using Retroarch 1.7.4 and beetle-psx-libretro from 380a34a48dfd09945efaa717754d8455169704a1. Most of the times when I'm trying to load the savestate, emulation freezes, but I can go to Retroarch menu. Sometimes, music is playing, sometimes only one note. There are no error messages or any other info in console, only saying "Loading state..." I've tried with software renderer - same problem.

P.S. I'm almost sure that core breaks savestates, as I can load other savestates even while beetle-psx is frozen.

Plus one for this. I'm experiencing this on the android version. I've only (so far) experienced this in Abes Exedous.

Essentially loading a saved state crashes the emulation you can still save and load, return to the menu etc. The only fix I have found is to undo the last savestate and reload the state.

@externo6 - I guess I can confirm what you're reporting. On Android, If I play around with saving and loading states, eventually I can get the emulator to be "stuck" on the same frame and audio.

In particular, I can reproduce the bug doing "Save State" once, "Load State" once and then flipping between the current and old states by doing "Undo Load State" several times. After some attempts, I get the bug.

Actually, I've updated the engine and retroarch itself, and cannot reproduce it anymore...

Just updated to latest Android RetroArch 1.9.1 and have latest core version installed and I still get this problem frequently.
