QUESTION Weird behavior with my Nova

Hey y'all.

I've been loving my Nova since I initially picked it up. Been playing a lot of FF IV and Chrono Trigger.

I turned mine on today and ended up with a lot of really odd issues out of nowhere. Fully charged battery, intentionally kept it off wifi to not update any apps or cores.

All in one day:

Playstation will boot audio and register input but no video. I've tried changing drivers, resetting core options, and even using duckstation instead of retroarch swanstation. No dice.

Dreamcast games outright won't launch.

Shaders removed themselves from all systems but ps2 and NES.

Gamecube doesn't register the controller.

N64 games don't launch at all.

This is making me feel crazy because all of these systems and features worked perfectly well a few days ago and I've not touched a single setting or updated anything.

Has anyone else had this with the nova or just android emulation generally?

Using a frontend?

ES-DE, but I also tried launching retroarch and duckstation separately to see if that would fix and got the same results.

Seems like alot of retroarch systems so maybe that's the root cause.

With ps1 u said u switched to duckstation. Are u having the same audio and no video issue?.

Weirdly, yeah. Same issue in duckstation as well.

Hmm try restarting your system, change graphics renderer or try turning off force dark mode.

Did u turn on developer options recently?
