      @DTEAM maybe try and run it without the nogui option and see if it loads and tells you anymore in the apps window?

        @DTEAM since its a clean load and you added vulkan my money is AetherSX2 does not like vulkan dont know why,

          How can we exclude vulkan with your script. Can I add a specific command?

          In the compatibility list, they seem to run it with Vulkan and OpenGl .

              i dont think so since the emulators that can use vulkan i believe have to be recomplied to enable vulkan. since AetherSX2 is just copied from a flatpack there is nothing we can do.

              if someone can find a disto what has all the correct files to compile it from start then maybe, but since they shut it down. most of the ones i found only have the already build program i dont see it happening

              since i dont know how everything really works, i dont know what enabling vulkan does and why is does not like AetherSX2

              possible someone who knows the inerworkings of the retropie will chime in

                  @DTEAM then as of right now there's not much that can be done. Other then figuring out why it doesn't like Vulcan.

                    So I got came across this while reading something else someone is dealing with.

                    Maybe you can use this to see what the Segmentation fault is. Maybe. Might be worth looking into.

                    Ok, so the crash is not caused by a missing/malformed resource. At this point the only way to find out what's causing the crash is to run it through gdb.

                    Form a SSH session:

                    install the gdb package with
                    sudo apt install -y gdb

                    run EmulationStation through gdb:
                    gdb -q -ex /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation/emulationstation

                    NB: if you haveemulationstation-dev installed, then run instead:
                    gdb -q -ex /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation-dev/emulationstation

                    after the 'Segmentation fault' error appears, just type bt and press enter at the gdb prompt that appears. Post the output of the command.

                    type q to exit gdb and confirm with y if prompted to kill/stop the running process.

                      I have Vulkan enabled on my system, and PS2 games are running without issues.
                      I can upload my backup image (without ROMs or BIOS files) if it complies with the forum rules.

                        Sure, Did you install aethersx2 from Retropie Extra as is and did the changes here ? Do you have the checksum of your BIOS?

                          yes i belive you can, RapidEdwin08 has a image up also and that have been fine.

                          so i think if you do like you said, post it without ROMs or BIOS files. you will be fine

                            Yes, I have Vulkan enabled from mitu commit and the AetherSX2 emulator from ExarKunlv RetroPie-Extra repo. Also, lr-Melon DS and lr-swanstation.

                            The PS2 BIOS files that I used are:

                            The image is 2.89 GB zipped and 16 GB when unzipped. Just use Pi Imager with the zipped file.

                            You need to change the Wi-Fi Country settings and passwords, also Timezone.

                              i can use this to see what will and will not work from RetroPie-extras

                                I did many tests and it doesn't work. Here's step by step what I did from the begining for aethersx2:

                                • in config.txt --> kernel=kernel8.img

                                This is usually the culprit for seg fault on pi5, double check kernel8 or pastebin the config .txt to verify.
                                Can try to set X11 from sudo raspi-config - Advanced Options - Wayland - X11 Openbox Backend.

                                You can also try an Alternative Retropie-Setup script module from here: aethersx2.sh

                                The PCSX2.ini included in that one is configured to look for BIOS and Mem Cards in:

                                home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS
                                

                                That particular script module will not overwrite the current aethersx2 config PCSX2.ini.
                                You will want to either back up or delete the current PCSX2.ini before installing.

                                home/pi/.config/aethersx2/inis/PCSX2.ini

                                    You can also try an Alternative Retropie-Setup script module from here: aethersx2.sh

                                    Thanks, much appreciated. I tried, but same result. I tested all BIOS versions on the net and nothing happened. Could this be related to the SDL2 version? I will continue to investigate?

                                    Here's my config.txt

                                      @DTEAM someone correct me if I'm wrong but, looking at your config txt,
                                      I think everything you put in #New, including kernel8, is not being applied because you put it all under [cm4].
                                      You should move it up to before [cm4].

                                      Raspberry Pi B, Pi B+, Pi2 B, Pi3 B, Pi3 B+, Pi Zero W, Pi4 (4GB/8GB), Pi5 (8GB/16GB), Pi Zero 2 W, GPi V1, minisforum GK50 / RetroPie 4.8.x

                                        you might have something there

                                        i put all my changes after [all]
                                        but before would probably do the same thing
