Description

Hi Beetle Team,

The following NTSC-U dump of R4 - Ridge Racer 4 fails to load: http://redump.org/disc/11608/
BIOS startup finishes, followed by an unexpected shutdown.

In my testing, this failure is specific to the Software renderers on both Beetle PSX and Beetle PSX HW cores.

log-file from Beetle PSX (Software) - https://gist.github.com/cheds89/706219636445e3ba8a2cee6815d36ea4

Expected behavior

Example 1: Using Beetle PSX HW (Hardware Vulkan Renderer), R4 - Ridge Racer Type 4 (USA) loads successfully.
Beetle PSX HW (Hardware Vulkan Renderer)

Example 2: Using Beetle PSX (Software), Ridge Racer Type 4 (Europe) loads successfully.

Example 3: Using Duckstation (Software Renderer), R4- Ridge Racer Type 4 (USA) loads successfully.

Actual behavior

Steps to reproduce the bug

  1. Load NTSC-U dump of R4 - Ridge Racer 4 (MD5 - bf1d92037b1b2be83b459c11f0b89eb6)
  2. Load fails.

Bisect results

I last booted this game maybe 2 months ago, and I did not encounter this behavior,

Core options

All defaults
Fresh RetroArch and core installation
Vulkan front-end driver

The same issues occur with gl front-end drivers

Seemed similar to https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroArch/comments/saixj4/racing_lagoon_crashes_after_the_first_cutscene_on/ so I started to bisect, the issue started with cde89c9 , both R4 and Racing Lagoon boot fine before that commit.

So yeah, looks like it's because of the "Dynamic" crop option, if changed to "Static" it doesn't crash anymore.

@ds22x maybe you'll have an idea of what's happening here. Ran with gdb:

Seems the software renderer really doesn't like having too many lines displayed on the screen.
