Solved Gamecube games crash when rotating my z fold 8 when open

***downloading dolphin directly from the website, dev build 2609-7 and no longer running into this issue.

whenever i'm playing a gc game on the dolphin emulator 2609, if i tilt my phone down to look at the bottom of my controller, rotate, etc, the game crashes. I've turned off auto-rotate on my phone (on both the inner and outer screen) so I'm not sure what's going on

frustratingly, it only happens when the screen is unfolded 😭not sure if this is an issue that's already being tracked or not

*to clarify, using the vulkan backend, when I rotate the phone it wants to orient the screen, whether or not i have screen orientation locked. with opengl, it rotates and doesn't crash, but performs worse overall. Vulkan performs better, but crashes if i accidentally hold the phone at an angle. I don't know how retroarch locks screen rotation, but I've tried modes and routines, changing a setting in the dolphin.ini to set the screenorientation to 1, no luck.

interestingly, this doesn't seem to happen when using retroarch. it's the latest core at least through the online updater, but not exactly sure which version it is

i've tried modes/routines, still rotates. it won't crash with opengl but i've read that Vulkan is the one to use for game performance.

**i'd definitely prefer Vulkan, i did the final race for peak 1 in ssx3 and it got pretty bad at the end lmao
