djsim Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Hi Lads, having major issues trying to get retro going. When I click on the exe the app crashes. It works fine on my 2nd PC. The DOS window display briefly for a second and disappears with the app crash. I have attached screen grabs of the errors. I have tried the following: - Stable, nightly builds, many different version - Installed the .dlls from the redest zip Any ideas lads? Thanks
Metalzoic Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 Not sure, but I got my version from the link in Austins Youtube tutorial video and it seems to work fine on my Win 7 64 system. Maybe try download and try that one. Here you go. Good luck You don't happen to know how to fix my AAE problem I made a topic about do you? It's doing to me exactly what Retro is doing to you.
faydra6410 Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 I'm in the same boat I even ran dependency walker and it loaded some missing dlls I found two are not win 64 (see image) and therefore can be updated i even followed the suggested of putting the dll in the windows32 folder anyway and trying to run retro-arch from program files (86) folder. I'm stumped.
Metalzoic Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Did you try the downloads from the video I posted above to see if those might work for you?
faydra6410 Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Yes I did and after no avail for 2 days my hubby made a suggestion to try his graphics card so I happily stripped his 3d printer pc and what do you know after all that bother it was a graphics card issue. I let windows configure the card and I'm not even using it. Still plugged into on board graphics. to you other question. Yes I am following Austin's videos in order and they are brilliant.
cjbravo3 Posted July 10, 2015 Posted July 10, 2015 So what was the solution here? I'm running into the same problem. What setting do I need to have on my video card? I'll mention that I'm running a Geforce GTX 970
faydra6410 Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Update the windows drivers, the graphic card drivers, and direct x 9 if you have current version but not 9 you need direct x 9 i had install 9 as i had 10 installed. it was after adding a seperate non on board graphics card and installing all its drivers and windows updates that fixed it.
