Retroarch crashing on rom exit

[Tackett1980]

I had this working pretty good with mame2003.

 

I loaded the mame.218 romset and mame.219 core and now for some reason, the roms work but retroarch crashes when I hit esc to exit the rom. 
 

gives me an error that says retroarch.exe has stopped working.

 

anyone know how to fix this or figure out what’s going on?

Here Is the error log I managed to generate if this helps anyone.  Honestly I cant see anything that explains this.

OK now I'm getting somewhere.  I have an error code here.  Anyone have any ideas what this means?

[Tackett1980]

Im going to try some of the solutions here:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/windowsreport.com/exception-access-violation-windows-10/%3Famp

I’ll report back if any work to fix this error.

whats strange though, is it doesn’t seem like a retroarch.exe application error or else, I would think that every retroarch game wold be doing this.  It only seems like it’s the mame .219 core that’s doing it.

Actually first I’m going to totally delete my retroarch.cfg file and let it generate a new default one.  If that works then it’s some setting that I messed with.

Edited March 14, 2020 by Tackett1980

[Tackett1980]

Ok nothing is working.

 

it has to be something in the settings for the arcade platform because nothing else does it. 
 

I think it’s a hotkey issue because if I turn it to press once for exit instead of twice it doesn’t do it.  Which I guess I could do.

[CDBlue]

Seems to be related to the video driver perhaps.  I see errors about opengl not being found and it trying to revert to software, and that's when the error occurs.  What driver (video) do you have Retroarch set to use?  Perhaps try changing the video driver in Retroarch to GL, GL Core, D3D, or Vulkan to see if any of those fixes the issue on exit.   Also, although I'm pretty sure it's not related to this, but your video card drivers for your nVidia card are quite old.  You're using 432.00 and they're now up to 442.59.  Likely wouldn't hurt to also upgrade your video card drivers as well.

I thought that as well, but I’ve tried them all with the same results.  It’s still trying to use OpenGL it seems...I get the same error.

hit esc one time and it exits.

change it to hit twice and it crashes after one press.

 

ill check the drivers.

Edited March 14, 2020 by Tackett1980

[Tackett1980]

Ok, I reinstalled retroarch and it fixed the issue....somewhat

it now doesn’t crash but it does take me into the mame bios screen after hitting esc.  
 

how can I disable this?

[CDBlue]

More than likely all you need to do is turn off the press twice to escape option in retroarch.  Then pressing escape should just exit the emulator and not bring you to the Mame menu system.
