Saving state crashes the game an Android #1138

[karaboudjan16]

• Device: Odin 2 Pro
• Android version: 13
• Core: RetroArch Mupen64Plus-Next (2.8-Vulkan 7c7f110)

Hi there,

Save states result in retroarch crash (GUI reports retroarch isn't responding). Happens with Mario 64 and Mario Paper, those are the 2 only games I've tested so far. Doesn't seem to happen immediately as I can save state during a minute or so like in the main menu or loading screens

opengl sound driver seems to be the root cause as we can see in the logs it stops for some reason upon saving.

[Audio]: Stopped audio driver "opensl"

Workaround: flipping audio driver to rsound prevents this bug but results in no sound at all.

Is this a known issue? Been affected for a year or so. Decided to to play some other retro console in the interim but looks like it's still actual

Using old --libretro behavior. Setting libretro_directory to "/data/user/0/com.retroarch.aarch64/cores/" instead.

I have the same issue
Device : S25 Ultra
RetroArch version: 1.21.0
Core version : 2.8 Vulkan (same as OP)

Same on latest nightly on snapdragon 8 gen 3

Still an issue for me today.

• Device: Samsung A52s 5G, Android 14/OneUI 6.1
• App: 2025-08-24_RetroArch_aarch64
• Core: Mupen64Plus-Next GLES3, 2.8 Vulkan
• Game: Space Station Silicon Valley (Europe)

It doesn't affect the (USA) version of the game for some reason.
