Same for me^^ happens in all instances where the Switch Keyboard is accessed in Retroarch.. Initially appears correctly but after you enter your desired text and press enter, the Switch Keyboard keeps popping up causing me to hard close Retroarch (home button and X button)

I have the exact same issue. I have tried everything from Deleting everything on my SD card and reinstalling homebrew from scratch, to download Retroarch from the hb app store, to downloading it directly from Github. No luck:

Each time the switch keyboard is accessed, for any reason, it will not close and I am forced to hard close Retroarch. This is especially frustrating since it corrupts my save states.

Crash report or it didn't happen.

Where are the logs located?

I just realized that it does not crash. You just can’t exit the keyboard screen and the input is not transferred into the settings fields. I’ll make a video. Hold my beer

[m4xw]

You need to press "+"

"+" or "OK" does not work as you can see in the video

@mtoensing What if you hit return? Theres a check for new line

[mtoensing]

nope. A new line does not change anything.

[mtoensing]

It seems like the keyboard does not send anything to retroarch. Therefore it validates an empty string.

[m4xw]

It got refactored, smth was probably broken.
We will investigate, dunno if we make it for the next stable, just got back into the office after vacation.

Meanwhile here is a workaround for the achievements or „cheevos“ as they are called in retroarch: edit the retroarch.cfg in the retroarch folder and fill in the user and password for cheevos.

cheevos_auto_screenshot = "true"
cheevos_badges_enable = "true"
cheevos_enable = "true"
cheevos_hardcore_mode_enable = "true"
cheevos_leaderboards_enable = "true"
cheevos_password = "dontpostpasswordspublicongithub"
cheevos_test_unofficial = "false"
cheevos_token = ""
cheevos_username = "KingDingeling"
cheevos_verbose_enable = "false"
config_save_on_exit = "true"
