Retroarch crashes when attempting to save state on Mupen64plus

[Bedwyr]

This did not happen on a previous 1.4.1 setup. I have savestate set to hotkey activation such that on my XB1 controller, holding down the right stick activates hotkeys and d-pad down saves state. With a game loaded on mupen64plus core only, this crashes Retroarch immediately. Changing savestate slot and loading do not do this. I have tried experimenting with the keyboard commands and get the same behavior. I'll try backing up one more copy of the 1.4.1 directory contents to see if this repeats (a previous 1.4.1 install had different issues).

Any known issues?

After looking at a previous backup folder, I noticed that the Mupen64plus core in the new download was about 5MB while the backup core was about 11MB. I copied over the 5MB core and it now saves correctly. Something happen with the online updater maybe?

It could have been built to git wrong and published like that on accident.

Your lucky it is working at all currently Mupen64Plus crashes RetroArch on every machine I test it on

Yea it sounds like something got messed up in the migration.

current working dll core backed up to utilities folder. Cause y'never know.

 

I wrote the issue up on the mupen64plus github page. So at least they know.

Yeah I was testing the mupen64plus core last night... went back to glupen64 pretty quick haha. The mupen64plus one definitely seems to be having some issues in its current state - I was getting crashes on save states and slightly worse performance with identical settings to glupen64.

According to github this issue is now fixed.
