Libretro PCSX2 not working on Batocera 43.1
Hi, i have problem with launching any ps2 game with emulator set to pcsx2 libretro ( standalone version works fine, but i prefer to use retro arch version due to better shadder support )
What i found in logs:
2026-05-18 15:36:52,895 DEBUG (emulatorlauncher.py:408):callExternalScripts calling external script: [PosixPath('/usr/share/batocera/configgen/scripts/nvidia-workaround.sh'), 'gameStop', 'ps2', 'libretro', 'pcsx2', PosixPath('/userdata/roms/ps2/Need for Speed - Hot Pursuit 2 (USA).chd')]

No CPU TDP value found.
2026-05-18 15:36:53,939 DEBUG (emulatorlauncher.py:683):launch Emulator terminated by signal (Illegal instruction: 4)
Bios paths are find ( i checked in retroarch configuration ).
Are there more options to debug this or maybe there more logs to check?
PS. I cant join discord so i posted there.
