What? You cant just do that. You need to give what the game youre trying to play, your phone model/specs, PPSSPP version, etc

But how

me Too with a black screen, Right on startup before running a game !!!

On a galaxy S5 with android 4.4.2 + Adreno 330 + S.D 801

PPSSPP 1.2.2 is running OK

[retro]

Anyone Can help with this problem ???

Make sure you have a good copy of the game.

If 1.2.2 is running ok, what version is not running okay?

This version: v1.2.2-915-g47cc898 is NOT ok,

It fail BEFORE loading the game,

PPSSPP is not loading the emulator menu system,

I got just a black screen !!!

What's the first version that stopped working, and the most recent version that did work?

If you try by going half way in between, you'll cut out a large chunk of the possible changes that could've caused an issue. After about 8 tries, you'll have narrowed it down significantly. If you can give me a range of a few commits, I might be able to guess what's going wrong.

But since I can't reproduce the issue, I could stare at the 900 changes for hours and not come up with any ideas. I really need your help.

716 is the last build without tne black screen, build 727 is with a black screen,
BUT 716 has another problem, the picture is some kind of mirror flipped and this problem goes all the way until build 19 (which is OK)
build 136 has the mirror rendering problem,

So for me the last good build I can use is 19

I hope this will help you, please contact me if you need more help...

Okay, sounds like you've turned on Vulkan. Vulkan isn't working on Android right now - you can turn it off on any of the builds where it's mirrored (might be hard), or you can just delete PSP/SYSTEM/ppsspp.ini from your phone's storage to reset your settings to defaults.

It's not an option now to turn on Vulkan on Android, until we figure out why it's not working.

deleting the ini file solved the problem, thanks !!!

chosing the vulkan shoudn't be a valid option for android, it must rolled back to Open Gl if selected by mistake...

Thanks again...!
