Homebrew Retroarch | Exception (DSI) occurred

nutella · Dec 28, 2014

Does anyone know why I get an error whenever I try to load roms in Retroarch? SNES roms work just fine, but all GBA roms and N64 roms (though I only really care about GBA roms atm) get the same error. This happens every time, with every rom.

I made a quick video to show the error.

Retroarch doesn't have N64 emulator.

My bad, I was thinking of the PC port when I typed that. In any case, GBA games are not working still. Newly formatted SD card. Tried both SD and SDHC. Copied the app multiple times. Used different builds. All with the same result.

Maybe you change some setting? Did you try deleting your configuration file?

Yes, I have tried deleting my config file. I've tried installing different versions. No luck. Can anyone confirm that they have GBA roms working in Retroarch?

What version are you using? I'm using 1.0.0.2 the VBA Next, I've gotten this error, maybe three times at the most. Do you have any rewinding options enabled by chance? They tend to cause instability issues I noticed. 1.0.0.3 is coming out soon, and have you reported the issue on the Libretro forums about this?

Like randomizer says rewind on will definitely cause problems on VBA Next. Otherwise it's a strange one ...do your roms have headers?

Either that or the ROM files corrupt, are zipped, or have headers on them, there are utilities out there to remove them. All the GBA ROMs I have on my SD card all boot fine, so this is a weird issue.

It appears that I there were two problems. One, the particular rom I kept testing got corrupted after copying it back and forth so many times, and secondly, I had rewind enabled.
Thanks for the help everyone
