jrose1184 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Hi, i downloaded retroarch from the austin video and as soo as i launch it it says "stopped working" i can see in the back ground in the cmd that it says "failed to bind api". I then downloaded the latest stabble version and still get the same error? If any one could help that would be great. this is out side of hyperspin running windows 7, have direct x installed, and other emulator work
jrose1184 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 Hi yes just from the retroarch folder it self, wether i run it on rlauncher or desktop still same error. Were would i find the stable version on here please?
jrose1184 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 o is see my bad lol, yes the stable one from the web site does the same no diffrence between the two. i open the .exe and straight away says "stopped working" pc is a fresh install with windows 7 all updates done. i can run mame elulator fine with hyper spin. so i dont know....
scooter1974 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 I am not sure if you are running 32 or 64 bit, but this is where you would download the latest nightly version. http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/windows/ Check out my MAME Arcade classics themes!
kylecp1979 Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Do you have any anti virus protection on your pc? Maybe it's deleting or stopping something from working. Are you able to open it to the settings screen at all?
jrose1184 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 i have no anti virus on the pc, i downloaded stable 1.3.2. it crashes the second its open, so can not get to no menu. would you like a pic?
jrose1184 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 i followed all your instructions all worked apart from cant see a log file
jrose1184 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 do you know the name of the file? it it just log?
jrose1184 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Posted March 17, 2016 i used this command ```retroarch -v --menu 2>log.txt``` and say "stopped working" again even to open this up

progets Posted March 20, 2016 Posted March 20, 2016 This is usually a video driver issue. Try one of these and let us know the results. 1. rename name retroarch.cfg to retroarch.cfg.org and run retroarch (this will force a new retroarch.cfg to be created) 2. open your retroarch.cfg in a text editor and change "video_driver = "gl"" to "video_driver = "sdl2"" and run retroarch 3. open an admin command prompt and run retroarch.exe from there so you can see what is actually happening
