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

- [question] Anyone know to how to get rid of the mouse cursor in DOSbox-pure? Yes, I've tried f11 mouse toggle. Normally in pc/mac to fix this, I would go into Full screen mode, and it would hide the mouse cursor. I'm using a firestick on my TV in this picture instead. Can the arrow be hidden?
