Hi Guys,
I’m new here. Have used retroarch on Pi for years. Been reading a fair amount about the windows version of Retroarch and still haven’t been able to get things up and running on my computer running W7 64bit.
My main problem is that my computer is unable to get online, so I have to manually install and update everything. This has been a pretty big problem as I’m not finding a lot of info about how to do this.
I am interested in running Flycast. I believe I need one of the latest versions to to able to run the Mame zip/chd files (really don’t want to deal with .lst and dat/bin files) I read somewhere that the stable 1.8.5 version doesn’t support using MAME files with Flycast. Is that correct?
So, I went to the nightly downloads and downloaded the 64bit version of Retroarch.7z from there, then I downloaded the: flycast_libretro.dll.zip and flycast_gles2_libretro.dll.zip from the “latest” folder. I then created a cores folder in the root directory and unzipped the cores in there.
When I click on retroarch.exe nothing happens. (I have all DirectX end runtimes and C++ versions installed.) As I am a complete newbie, does there need to be “compiling” of some sort? I must be missing something.
Any help/advice on manual installation of Retroarch and Flycast core (best functioing MAME zip file friendly version) would be really appreciated. Thanks for your time.
