@zackarya thanks for raising this. I couldnt figure out why Retro Debugger was not loading. Was driving me crazy.

True, that's known problem. The audio engine drives some parts of emulation, I need to create a fallback virtual audio device and indeed it just now closes with error spit out to console log (thus even not visible on Windows). I'll look at this.
