That's a Visual  C runtime dll. You need to reinstall Visual C++

I don't have many systems, but would love to get these all working again it also looks like I have messed up my mame cant remember what version was working with my setup.is there a easy way to tell what emulator version my roms use. I have tried 1.38b 153,159,164,178b,and it opens and shuts down within one second ahh.

getting these two .sorry folks but really appreciate the help

MSVCP140.dll is a Microsoft Visual C++ library.

All of those errors are common Windows files that a great many programs require and are not directly emulator related. On a new install of Windows programs tend to be missing those but over time installing stuff installs them.

well thanks for filling me in.i have been trying to build my setup for months and found my drive was slowing this pc down .I'm looking to get this drive back to goodness and I can plug it into my gaming rig .

I understand if you don't reply but I hope you don't mind if I keep posting all these issues as you telling me whats wrong far outweighs me guessing .thanks

this is the setup the now

Well here's a quick tip, when you get error messages like the ones you posted a quick google search for those specific messages will give you the answer. But I don't mind helping out where I can.

[CALLSTANLEY247]

well the thing is when I do quick searches and think I'm getting the right file .I end up downloading the wrong things or malware,spam,all the stuff I try and stay away from .The way I see it is its like every day is a learning day and having guys and girls like yourselfs here . Are how non pc literate folk like myself learn .

[Lordmonkus]

Well if you aren't sure then yeah feel free to ask here on the forums or even on the Discord channel, always someone around willing to help out.

thanks I have learnt getting this done just by watching the youtube launchbox tutorial,and guys like james baker,simply auston.learning visually seem to work best for me.thanks again for the help

 

[Lordmonkus]

no problem

[CALLSTANLEY247]

any chance in letting me know how I find out whats wrong with my arcade system setup.i have tried all the versions of the mame that I had stored on my external drive.it opens then just shuts straight away.

[Lordmonkus]

My best guess off the top of my head is probably a missing rompath setup in Mame. You can check out my Mame tutorial here

I only have nine systems and can only get two working after I changed the internal hard drive as it was slowing the pc down stuck a ssd in it and the pc runs a lot faster .so trying to continue to build launchbox on my external gaming drive .but 7  gaming systems arnt working.im getting retroarch running outside lunchbox.i have updated it and still cant get it to open in launchbox for any  of my systems.

[Lordmonkus]

If your emulators are working outside of Launchbox then you probably have a paths problem with Launchbox, either to the emulators themselves or the roms.

Try downloading and installing this

Missing .dll files don't go on your desktop, they usually either go in the folder of the program you are trying to run that needs it or in C:\Windows\System or System32 folder. Installers though will put the files where they belong.

thanks
