PPSSPP crashing when i launch any game that isn't a demo
hi, i'm sofia, and i'm a linux user. when i was under debian oldstable (with the downloaded ppsspp appimage executable from the site) i had no problems playing games. now i'm under arch, and when i try launching any .iso that isn't a demo (i only tried cave story, and it worked fine) the game runs for a brief half of a second, then the whole application (not only the game. but the entirety of ppsspp) freezes for some amount of time, and then everything crashes. i tried switching the backend from OpenGL to vulkan, and i also tried to turn off all the experimental options in the ppsspp menu, but to no avail. can somebody please help me? what info do you need?

RE: PPSSPP crashing when i launch any game that isn't a demo
It might be that it's compiled against an unsupported version of ffmpeg. We actually include a version of ffmpeg that we know works, but packagers typically want to use the system version.

But ffmpeg has this horrible habit of making breaking changes willy-nilly, without even documenting them. So we know for sure that just always using the system version is disastrous, especially because we're forced to integrate it at a fairly low level in some places.

It may work out better if you compile it yourself (where you can avoid using the system ffmpeg version.)
