DOS76 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Did it work before you did the clean install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Is it an older PC using Intel graphics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If you have an older PC using Intel graphics there are issues with the OpenGL drivers and you need to either find a build that get around the Windows 10 driver signing issues or edit your retroarch.cfg file to use d3d for the video driver and rgui as the menu driver in order for it to work.

torben656 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm using AMD Legacy drivers. So, uh, no gl for me then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I don't know in that case I've only come across it on Intel systems but if they are older drivers it may be an issue. Best you can do is edit the cfg and see if it works then. If you need any help with the specifics of changing the video and menu driver let me know.

torben656 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Hmm maybe I'll try updating my drivers first. So um, how do you update drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Okay I know for older Intel graphics that doesn't work because it only uses the drivers for that PC most likely if its an older PC there won't be any new drivers for it. If not having GL is a deal breaker you should go to the RetroArch forum and ask I know they have builds that bypass the driver signing I just don't bother and edit my config file instead but someone over there can probably help you out.

torben656 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 *curses* turns out I didn't had the DirectX 9.0c Runtime blah blah installed. I went to the main site of retroarch and there downloaded the installer. Now it runs fine. Thanks DOS76! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 yeah not having direct x components on there will do that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torben656 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 (edited) But this is weird. The nightlies crash, but the stable ones run fine. Edited March 13, 2018 by torben656 I need to clarify things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
