Emulator Issues #7568
closed
On Linux, when Render to Main Window is disabled, nothing is rendered to the screen.

Description
This affects all games on Linux, and was first noted with this commit. Nothing is rendered to the screen; it remains black although the emulation is running (sound can be heard).
A workaround can be achieved by changing the screen size in any way, including toggling fullscreen.

Needs confirmation, I don't have linux so, someone else can accept it.

Is this just an issue to track things that were already fixed in PRs?
https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/789
- maybe some of armada's PRs?
If so, why?

This issue has nothing to do with armada's PR (or it shouldn't). That PR can't be accepted right now (it's waiting on Jasper's branch) so this issue should be used to keep track of it as well as let users know that we've acknowledged the problem.

Even if something is fixed in a PR, the issue report should remain until it's fixed in master. That's what the "FixedInPR" tag is for, after all.

This affects my RetroRig project as well (https://github.com/ProfessorKaos64/RetroRig/issues/88). Thank you for accepting the issue. Render to main window works for now, but hopefully this is fixed soon.

I'm unsure if this is related to this issue, but after changing the render window and having an area that should have black borders (i.e. going 16:9 -> 4:3) seems to cause graphics corruption. As an example, I started SSBM with 16:9 forced, then toggled to 4:3. You'll notice that there's a bunch of broken graphics where there should be black borders.

I noticed that too, but can you move that to a new issue? It's possible that it's caused by the same PR, but it is really a completely different problem.

I can confirm.
The issue was not present in 4.0-2476, but from 4.0-2484 and on, nothing gets rendered to the game window.
