We will add the fix/patch to our repo so it's included in the version distributed, until RetroArch releases a new version.

Awesome! Thank you! It looks like maybe a fix was made here:
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/commit/26a824caff4c1c31ab24deaa2a76a6ae71bc2071

Do you know when they might get added?

I don't have an ETA, but when it will be added I'll add a note to this topic. The patch that fixes this doesn't apply cleanly to the stable release we're using and additional fixes need to be added.

TPR

@mitu Awesome! Thank you again!

mitu

OK, I've taken a look and unfortunately the changes are not trivial and it's not possible to pick just the patch for the fix without introducing significant changes and basically pulling in all the changes since 1.18.0 was released.
Since the faulty additions happened before v1.17.0 it's also not trivial to revert the changes without removing also other related changes from v1.17.0.

I'm afraid we'll have to wait until the next RetroArch release to include the fix. If you need right now a workaround, then you can downgrade to 1.16.0 (reverting this change) and install from source again RetroArch.

TPR

@mitu Nah, I'm good I can wait for the next build. Thanks for the info!

mitu

The latest RetroArch version (1.9.1) is now also in RetroPie, with the fix for the AI service crash. You can update as usuall and get the new version.

TPR

@mitu Fantastic! Updating now!

EDIT - that being said, the update still seemed to work? Should I be concerned about that error?

I'm not familiar with the error, I've updated a couple of times from an older version and didn't encounter it. This happens when you've modified some files outside of git, which shouldn't happen if you only used the RetroPie setup to update RetroArch's core configuration files.

I've only ever used the RetroPie setup so for now since everything seems to be working I'll ignore the error and cross my fingers that everything is okay!
