What happened?

I'm currently using OpenMandriva Linux as my distro of choice. After trying to launch a game from ES-DE Frontend, there is a black screen, and then it goes back to the frontend. I thought the emulator crashed, but the logs from ES-DE and RetroArch didn't show anything wrong. I did try to run the command to launch the emulator with the content. Furthermore, I also tried a launching a game in Dolphin Emulator via the ES-DE frontend, but that also doesn't work.

EX: /home/name/.local/share/flatpak/exports/bin/org.libretro.RetroArch -L /home/name/.var/app/org.libretro.RetroArch/config/retroarch/cores/opera_libretro.so /home/name/Emulation/roms/3do/game.chd

Note: name replaces my username in the home directory for this example.

This command would run the emulator and launch the game, yet it doesn't work when I launch it from ES-DE Frontend. I did reinstall RetroArch and Dolphin, and tried everything I can, but it still doesn't work. As for the Other emulators, PCSX2, PPSSPP, MAME, and other emulators work. It is specifically RetroArch and Dolphin Emulator for some reason. Maybe that has to do with it being Flatpaks. I don't think OpenMandriva lx is supported, but Emudeck installed correctly, and these are the only issues I have
