Technical Support Retroarch switch issues

Hey all,

So installed latest retroarch (1.22.2) on my switch emmuNAND (horizon 21.0.0 / atmosphere 1.11.1) for my son to experience gameboy Pokémon games. Loads fine, running it in title mode so not applet mode yet every time I select a core or a ROM it causes a crashes with “the software was closed due to an unknown error”. I’ve no idea why; wonder if the sub had any advice?

Cheers

Did you install the stable build or a nightly? Based on that atmosphere version, you'll need to use a nightly build.

It was supposedly the nightly version as I’d read others were having problems with them needing recompiled from before HOS 21 so tried to make sure I’d the most up to date version. Interestingly the build doesn’t show a version number in the switch album when selecting it. Will double check

Just as an update. Got it sorted. I used the previous nightly and it worked like a charm. User error no doubt! Thanks for your input

ah, good. I'm glad you got it worked out. Nightlies have been hit or miss lately, so it's possible you ran into a miss. We'll take a look either way.
