can you run it in gdb and get a stack trace of the crash?

hm that's very early, maybe extension loading or something... any chance you can do a debug build so we can get line numbers?

Here you go:

That means it crashes here:

ppsspp/Common/GPU/Vulkan/VulkanContext.cpp

Line 286 in 0f50225

vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2(physical_devices_[i], &props2);

vkGetPhysicalDeviceProperties2(physical_devices_[i], &props2);

, and since the callstack starts with 0000000, it likely called a null pointer.

However, we do guard that call with an if, on line 277, so this is really strange.

Actually, I see on the line before that the Khronos validation layer is active. That should mean that you made a debug build. Maybe the validation layers don't work correctly on 32-bit ARM for some reason? It's probably not a well tested platform.

Try to make a release build insetad. It will also run much faster.

./b.sh --release
