Bug ID: 53242
           Summary: Bizhawk emulator memory leak
           Product: Wine
           Version: 7.11
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

When running Bizhawk, there is a very fast memory leak. It appears to happen
the most with RTC's modified variant found here: https://redscientist.com/rtc

To get the dependencies that are needed to run on WINE, follow this guide:
https://corrupt.wiki/rtcv/other-rtc-guides/running-rtcv-on-linux

The memory leak is very fast, at roughly 50-200MB/sec

If you want to test the bug, Steam has a collection of ROMs with an emulator
called the Sega Genesis and Mega Drive classics collection. If you own it, go
to your Steam directory, steamapps, common, Sega Classics, then you can find
the ROMs in "Uncompressed ROMs".

The leak also happens on the unmodded variant to a lesser degree, which you can
find here: https://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk

update: vanilla variant seems to be rewind data storage, going to see if the
memory leak is the same cause on the RTC version. if it isn't, this bug may
still stand.

Does this issue still happen on Wine 9.0? Also please lower down the bug's
severity back to normal

Yes.

This leak is still present in 9.0 as per my testing.

I'm not talking about the modified variant, though. I am talking about the
vanilla version of Bizhawk.
