Luca82 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 same problem, immediately after updating to android 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Yes, this is another wonderful issue that Android has introduced with Android 13. I'm still working on trying to figure out what changed so that I can get it fixed. I'm not sure if it's a bug with Android 13, or if there's something I can do to fix it. In the mean time, most platforms should still work great with RetroArch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 This does appear to be an emulator-specific issue that is caused by Android 13. It would be good to know specifically what all emulators are affected. So far, I know that the following emulators are not working on Android 13: Skyline N64Plus FZ Snes9x EX+ It's worth noting that, at least in my opinion, the RetroArch cores would be better for N64 and SNES anyways, so hopefully that isn't too big of an issue. Regardless, I'm working to hopefully solve the issues with all of these emulators. Let me know if you run into a similar issue with any other emulator that worked on Android 12 but is no longer working on 13. So far, my understanding is that the issue is primarily that Android 13 requires all launched activities to be explicitly marked public by the emulator developer, which wasn't previously required. I'm not certain that that is the only issue, but that does appear to be the main issue. I worked hard today to try and get everything fixed before the 1.8 release that I just put out (to fix a few bugs), but unfortunately that didn't happen because I'm not even sure what is and what is not possible at this point, without updating the emulators themselves. Hopefully we can still get a fix in soon, if it ends up being possible, anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mupen64plus Pro, GBC, PizzaBoy GBA/GBC are also affected - same error Retroarch for Mupen64 GLES3 fails to save state (crashes) - while the Mupen Pro on android saves state fine. Yes, would have preferred RetroArch (I run the Plus version), however due to the save state crash it does not work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaXecutioner Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Hey, I've had the same issue launching dolphin on my Android. Used to work just fine with GameCube games. I get the same error message. I can run the games fine from the dolphin app directly and deleting the game library in lunchbox and adding it again didn't change anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldtox Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 The same error occurs for Drastic. I have my phone updated to android 13 for quite a time now, and it has been working fine until today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargon Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I'm having the same issue with Drastic. It just started last night, so I'm assuming I just got the Android 13 update. Any news on a possible solution? In the meantime, I will have to launch Drastic directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddyWasTaken Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Is it possible to just launch the app itself without specific game, short term solution that is neater than closing the LB and looking for an emu app itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 This has to be addressed individually for every single emulator, unfortunately. All thanks to Google's terrible design decisions (again). We will be attempting to fix any outstanding issues for the next release; however, that's a lot of work, so it will probably be a while yet.

Jason Carr Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Hey all, I just put out LaunchBox for Android 1.9-beta-1. See here: It has fixes for Skyline, M64Plus FZ, and M64Plus FZ Pro. Unfortunately though Snes9x EX+, DraStic, GBC.emu, and PizzaBoy all need updates from the emulator developers before we can make them work. Please let me know if you run into any other emulators that aren't working on Android 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargon Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Thanks for the update. Any idea whether the emulators mentioned (Snes 9x EX+, DraStic, etc.) are actively working on the necessary updates that will re-enable this integration, or is it possible they might not ever work again?

Unfortunately you would have to ask the emulator developers, as we don't have direct relationships with any of them, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
