I was going to create a new thread for this, but my problem might be the same one as described here. I also cannot run ps2 games after the 5.27 update, whereas they worked fine before.
A cursory google brought up this post from the 5.27 testing thread, where @bigdoug79 has the same problem, and the same exit code as I do: https://forum.batocera.org/d/4465-batocera-527-rc4/46
Here’s my log:

Hopefully this helps. Is there a short term solution, or should I just wait for the next patch?
