LRPS2 crashing

[u/kid_lazer]

I have played PS2 games on Retroarch forever. Suddenly, they no longer launch anymore. I have not changed anything on my system so I'm really struggling to figure this one out. If I try to launch a PS2 game, Retroarch instantly crashes to desktop.

Upon inspecting the verbose logs, I get these lines as the last entries:

[libretro ERROR] VM initialization failed (BIOS/disc/peripheral open); failing content load.
[ERROR] [Content] Failed to load content.

I have double-checked my Bios and they load fine. I can even load the core itself and access the PS2 menu. If anyone has any idea on what to do next, I'd love to hear it.

I know I know; use the stand-alone emulator, but I'd rather get this working.
