      Hi,

      The PPSSPP emulator core is no longer loading due to being unable to find the PPSSPPSDL.

      Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 3
      Power Supply used: 5V 2.5A
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.1 Image updated to 4.1.21
      Built From: 4.1 Image -> Updated retropie-script to 4.1.21
      USB Devices connected: Rapoo T-Series wireless usb keyboard/mouse
      Controller used: Wii U Pro Controller

      Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log (if relevant):

      --- start of joystick-selection log
      joystick selection by name is ON!
      joystick indexes for "psp" was configured
      joystick indexes for "all" was configured
      --- end of joystick-selection log
      Parameters: 
      Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp/PPSSPPSDL "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psp/Hatsune Miku Project Diva 1.cso"
      /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 961: /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp/PPSSPPSDL: No suchfile or directory
      

      Emulator: PPSSPP (not lr-ppsspp)

      How to replicate the problem:

      1. Update retropie_setup script to 4.1.21
      2. Install PPSSPP from Binary from Optional packages
      3. Attempt to load a PSP game from ES

      The PPSSPP emulator core is no longer loading due to being unable to find the PPSSPPSDL. This was working fine last week before I updated the retropie_setup script and updated PPSSPP from Binary.

        @sonicsheppard Try updating from source or uninstall and reinstall from source. This will take longer but may well fix your issue.

          @sonicsheppard a few things broke last time i built binaries. Will look into it. In the meantime you can do a source install of ppsspp

            It will probably not build from source either right now - some recent changes that I made have broken it I think - I will sort as soon as I have a chance.

              Thanks @BuZz , that explains why it's failed the last 3 times I've tried to build from source then :).

              Let me know when you'd like me to try from either source or binary again.

              Thanks as always!

                @sonicsheppard Please try building from source now. Binaries will be updated in around 30 mins (currently building).

                  Hi @BuZz , can confirm PPSSPP now loads fine after re-installing from Binary. Thanks very much!
