Hi all,

I have an AMD Radeon R4 GPU and i read somewhere hat it's not recommended to use OpenGL with it, so i changed Rendered backend to Vulkan, PPSSPP crashes whenever i start it. How can i change it without PPSSPP running?

I'm not sure your GPU really supports Vulkan. If it does, make sure your drivers are updated to last version and try most recent PPSSPP build: http://buildbot.orphis.net/ppsspp
Phones: Poco F3 8GB/256GB (Snapdragon 870 5G) and Redmi Note 6 Pro 4/64GB (Snapdragon 636)

PC: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 / 16GB RAM DDR4 3600MHz / NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti 6GB / Windows 10 Pro

Well, I'm not sure about Vulkan support either... At least there should be a warning about it.
The video driver is up-to-date, that's for sure, because i had ton's of problems with upgrading.

Isn't "Vulkan (experimental)" enough?

For AMD GPU I would use Direct3D 11 or 9.
