Yep always comes up, problem? try running as administrator...

I totally agree, I spent a few hours today trying to help people with questions, I just had a off minute!!

As I said to him, he should of mentioned the locked down pc point, you are right though, sometimes I come across a bit naughty, I don't mean it, but your right @Zombeaver.

Apologies.

WOW..... lol. that's a strange one...

@CriticalCid sorry I meant the play counts. Is it pulling it from somewhere it shouldn't?

Where is the count found?

Also you don't see that .dll in that folder because its already installed elsewhere. Lots of programs will try to install that, pretty much any PC game. Unfortunately your problem is the locked down PC I'm afraid.

Just delete the whole cache folder, it will be re created.

LOL, for f***ks sake., you gave no really helpful information at the start, then came out with you are on a locked down PC that you cant install to. Nothing I say is going to be able to help you I'm afraid. Please come back to me with questions once you are on a system you can actually use to install programs on, and I may be able to help. That may seem harsh, but I cant help you, if you cant do anything yourself on that pc then know one else can help either.

Your locked down pc is removing your .dll files or your antivirus is deleting them.

Wow, would of been nice to know at the start!!! 1. Retroarch does not need installing, you just unzip it to a folder. 2. Retroarch comes with all its .dll's look.

Good theory.. Hopefully that works.

Unless you know explicitly that it is safe, .dll it can f**k up your system, and also give you malware/virus. Be Warned...

You can google for .dll but I would NEVER recommend it.

just re download retroarch, the full package. https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.4.1/windows/x86_64/ Unzip it somewhere else. check if it launches, if it does, copy paste the .dll into the one that is not working, and try again.

Hi, I'm not well versed in arcade sticks so hopefully someone with more knowledge will jump in. But I believe those sort of sticks are detected as keyboards? not controllers. In which case you may need to go into the keyboard settings as well in big box and adjust things in there.

Ahh, for launchbox to be portable, all the emulators and roms need to be in the launchbox folder, also if retroarch is missing .dll that is often a directx issue as you said, but often if you reinstall retroarch it will add those .dll I say re download retroarch and install it somewhere else and see if it runs, if it does copy and paste the .dll to your current install.

It should "JUST RUN" on a windows 10 machine if it doesn't, you just install the latest version on top of what you already have and it should detect during install if you are missing anything, if you are it should prompt to update.

Hi, I know someone else had this problem before, I cant remember who, but it seemed to go away by itself eventually. Sorry I cant help more.

Agree with @fromlostdays stick to retroarch as much as you can, you setup your controller once in the main interface, and can then tweak it for different cores if needed, much easier than separate emulators for everything which all need controller configuration. Also the retroarch cores are updated regularly, which cant be said for some stand alone emulators, some havnt been updated in years. In bigbox you can toggle a "use all controllers" checkbox, which should do what you want. Skipping prototypes etc. cant be used for platforms other than mame/arcade. However there is a new combine feature that will consolidate those games as long as the name is the same, for example super Mario bros, super Mario bros (proto) super Mario bros(beta) should all be under the same game, this is checked by default on import, but can of course be unchecked. If I'm understanding your edit correctly you can click on 1 game, then ctrl a to highlight them all, right click then delete. this will remove them from launchbox. Hope this helps, any more questions feel free to ask.

Well mario kart ran like a dog for me constantly freezing for a few frames then carrying on and sound was out of sync also. I found stand alone snes9x to work better. This one will run N64 and PS1.

Ha Ha, good work @ckp This is why this community is so great, people coming together to help each other out, and get problems fixed.

Oh did I? Memory like a fish me. lol Yeah you get everything for £99.99 I bought it just before christmas, I was upgrading from a z3735 tablet that couldn't even run retroarch snes9x, this one is a x5-z8300 which will run mupen64 in retroarch and yeah comes with that xbox certified dock.
