mccorkled Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Ok, so after some playing around I got RetroArch to load Sega CD games using the genesis.dll and Sega CD 32X games to load using the pico.dll When launching a regular Sega CD test game from HS I am still getting this error: "RetroArch [ERROR] :: load_symbols :: Failed to open dynamic library: "Z:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Sega CD\cores\genesis_plus_gx_libreto.dll" RetroArch [ERROR] :: rarch_main_init :: Fatal error received in: "load_dynamic()" Here is my HyperHQ Here are my two ini files. Thanks again for your help. I feel like I am getting very close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awakened Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I can get that same error if I delete my genesis_plus_gx_libretro.dll. So it would appear that error happens when you specify the wrong location of your core .dll file. You're sure you don't keep it somewhere else?

mccorkled Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 I changed the parameters in my sega cd.ini file to use the full path: parameters=-L Z:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Sega CD\cores\genesis_plus_gx_libreto.dll and now I am getting this error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleasby Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I changed the parameters in my sega cd.ini file to use the full path: parameters=-L Z:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Sega CD\cores\genesis_plus_gx_libreto.dll For sure it is caused by space in the path. Did you tried adding the path inside double quotes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I add the quotes I get my original error message. "RetroArch [ERROR] :: load_symbols :: Failed to open dynamic library: "Z:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Sega CD\cores\genesis_plus_gx_libreto.dll" RetroArch [ERROR] :: rarch_main_init :: Fatal error received in: "load_dynamic()" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleasby Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 sorry, I don't know much about retroarch so I cannot be of much help on that. Did you tried to use RocketLauncher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorkled Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Awakened's method does not use RocketLauncher. I am trying to go that route for this particular system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awakened Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 If you can load the core and game fine in RetroArch itself, but you get that error when launching from HS, it suggests your cores aren't actually in "Z:\Hyperspin\Emulators\Sega CD\cores\". At least that's the only thing I can think of. Can you post a screenshot of your explorer window when you're in the folder where "genesis_plus_gx_libreto.dll" is?

Awakened Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Ok, well that rules out it being a path mistake I wonder if command line loading the core doesn't like NTFS compression for some reason. You could try turning that off just to see (right click the .dll, properties, advanced, uncheck compress contents to save disk space). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccorkled Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 I tried that and the same error. I also notice that the file was blocked because it "came from another computer" and I clicked unblock. Same error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
