Answer 1

Did you manage to find a solution in the end?
The same bug happened to me. I decided to play around with the GPU mode settings in the emulator settings, as a result, not a single configuration is loaded, and I can’t get into those settings anymore.
And it is not clear where this "angle9" is stored.
