Description of Issue

Hey, I looked at your log file. I've quoted the error reported before crashing above. It seems that it isn't able to detect the GPU memory? I may be wrong so I'm open to second opinions.

[Papermanzero]

I have the same problem. If I select Vulkan and open a game it crashes

What are your specs? I'm wondering if we can find a link between certain hardware.

[Papermanzero]

It is a GTX760 Phantom and it should support vulkan 1.3

This is very old hardware which is likely under-qualified for running a 3DS emulator. I would be surprised if you can get it working well.

[OpenSauce04]

It's also worth mentioning that according to Wikipedia the GTX760 has Vukan 1.2 support and the GTX920M has either Vulkan 1.1 support or no Vulkan support at all depending on the model

I used to run citra on a gtx 550 ti. It actually ran pretty well even with some 3d games like mario 3d land, but yeah it probably isn't the best hardware.

[Papermanzero]

Indeed it runs pretty well and Vulkan support is also there. Working with Dolphin and all other emulators except of Lime

GeForce 920M actually supports vulkan v1.2.175 :

00:00:04.674 |N| GUI.RenderThread Gpu PrintGpuInformation: NVIDIA NVIDIA GeForce 920M (Vulkan v1.2.175, Driver v475.14.0.0) This log is extracted from Ryujinx

And online it shows that it supports v1.2.133 See Here, But I have newer driver version than the one declared there.

Hey, I did some looking and have a custom build I would like you to try. I have downgraded the vulkan-headers submodule down to version 1.1.130 (aka Vulkan 1.1).

Builds are linked here. If possible would you be able to test it and see if Vulkan crashes for your or not?

I tested in Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story on Vulkan without an issue, but my GPU supports the latest Vulkan. So I need people to test it whose GPU does not support Vulkan 1.3.

Hi. Thanks for looking into it. Still crashing here with a GTX 765M. OpenGL works fine.

Hi. Thanks for looking into it. Still crashing here with a GTX 765M. OpenGL works fine.

Thanks for testing it. The error you provided is the same error logged before my attempted fix. We will have to take a dig at the Vulkan backend code for Lime3DS to see what is causing the error at the bottom.

GeForce 920M actually supports vulkan v1.2.175

I see. The Wikipedia article must be incorrect. Thanks for the clarification

Just to let you know that the same issue also happens on final Citra Nightly release (2104) so the problem might come from Citra originally and not specifically from Lime3DS.

[Papermanzero]

I can confirm. It is a bug which citra introduced

[BlurrySquire]

Thanks. When taking a look at the vulkan backend I can't notice anything wrong with GetMemoryType of line 48 of vk_stream_buffer.cpp which is where the assert takes place. The only other function I suspect is FindMemoryType of line 9 of vk_memory_util.cpp. I will take a further look tomorrow as it is getting late in the UK.

[i0x404]

I think I found the issue, tested Inazuma Eleven Shadow and it worked, I'll make a commit now PS: I'm not the best at C++ so I hope someone will help Edit : Commit is #384

[Papermanzero]

I can test as well if you have a build

[i0x404]

@Papermanzero here is the build release (windows)

[Enkak]

Can confirm that the vulkan fix is working here for the moment with the GTX 765M.

Testing here with the windows-msys2 artifact from: https://github.com/Lime3DS/Lime3DS/actions/runs/10496559569

[i0x404]

yes @OpenSauce04 just created actions artifact, the commit is still not merged until more people test it

[Papermanzero]

Also working here. Tested some games and the framerate is much higher than opengl

[OpenSauce04]

Fixed by #384
