    Anyone have any suggestions on how I can get the Vulkan drivers back on the latest update of Retroarch?

    It's not merged yet, but I'm sure it will be when the time comes. See: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/3785.

    To answer your previous question: yes, the Vulkan driver provides noticeble better performance with the Flycast, Dolphin, and PPSSPP emulators. The extent of the improvement depends on the game.

    OK thanks. Those are the emulators I've been using it on.

    I help myself ....
    If you install pixeldesktop and pikiss and vulkan driver on retropie (now I had upgraded to retropie 4.8.2 )you can simply integrate lr-ppsspp vulkan driver support installed by pikiss simply editing es_systems.cfg and add a new system called (for example) ppsspp vulkan and edit the command line to execute with xinit lr-ppsspp (from the new directory created by pikiss)...
    So retroarch in emulationstation remain the same (without vulkan support) but when you execute from emulationstation the new emulator lr-ppsspp vulkan driver supported is correctly launched and executed ....
    You don't need to install retroarch from pikiss because retropie won't see the new retroarch...
    Yes this is a (great) trick ...but works on
    Duckstation and lr-ppssspp installer by pikiss (with vulkan drivers) and launched from emulationstation with desktop initialization thank to xinit command before the launch script of every emulators...
