PPSSPP or psp? Uncovering bugs from the past
This is a sequel to this article. I'd like to give kudos to the PPSSPP developers, as almost ALL of the errors I wrote about in the previous article have been fixed within a month and didn't get into the 1.18.1 release. Unfortunately, when writing the previous article, I didn't have the energy and time to describe all the detected errors, I confess. Maybe that's why the bugs I'm talking about today are still in the project code base.

PPSSPP or PSP?
PPSSPP is an emulator that enables you to run games for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) console on a variety of devices, including PCs, smartphones, and tablets. It was created by Henrik Rydgård and first released in 2012. Since then, PPSSPP has become one of the most popular PSP emulators due to its compatibility and performance.

Weird black boxes for font in system menu for PPSSPP core. I already put all bios/font/lang files in the right spot. Before it was all just blank. Standalone does not do this.
Update: this appears to have been something that broke upstream but only affects libretro. I made a ticket with them and you can follow its progress here: https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/18483
