herbfargus,
I had the same experience. I actually have 2 raspberry pies, one setup with the 2.3 image and one with the latest 2.4.2 beta image. They have the same boot/config.txt settings.
PSX ROMs that don’t crash on my 2.3 imaged one crash on my 2.4.2 imaged one.
I recently reloaded each with their respective images, only to get the same result.
I’ve done some limited troubleshooting, but haven’t identified a possible cause due to time constraints and unfamiliarity. I haven’t even looked into whether or not there exists some variance between the PSX emulators included with the different image versions.
Because I was able to reproduce it, I speculated that it may be a bug and logged it as such. The bug I logged was closed without resolution though, possibly because in my haste I failed to describe it technically or include my detailed steps to reproduce it.
I’m also new to this project and forum and don’t want to get in the way too much, so for now I’m just going to retain my 2 installations and resume using my 2.3 imaged one for PSX emulation.
Perhaps if more users run into this issue it will increase in awareness and priority. I’m not sure how common PSX emulation even is on retropie and I realize it may take some time for this to gain focus.
PSX emulation greatly suffers due to the Raspberry Pie’s hardware constraints anyway.
