Unbeatable N64 Crash

MKMaster · 15 January 2017 03:54

Hey everyone. First-time poster here, but I have been browsing your forums quite heavily these last couple days. What sparked my search is this arcade project I’m working on. I’m planning to build an Arcade cabinet using Hyperspin, and I have MAME set up wonderfully. My last mission is to get N64 to work on the same front end as well as some other emulators in the future. Because of its versatility, I of course chose Retroarch to play my N64 games and I’m in the process of getting the N64 games to play smoothly.

The error I’m getting is a simple “retroarch.exe has stopped working” windows error message. Initially when I first installed Retroarch (version 1.2), I would get this same message when I tried to open Retroarch without even trying to play a game. To fix this, I set the video_driver to “d3d”. That simple fix allowed me to open the .exe and navigate its settings freely. And, as you might have guessed, after that I tried to run a game. This is where my problem started. I get the same error message “Retroarch.exe has stopped working.” I browsed this forum for hours to find a solution to no avail.

Windows 7 is the operating system I’m using on this setup. It’s the 32bit version, and the computer itself is running at 2gb of RAM. I started to suspect that maybe the d3d driver can’t handle N64 games. For whatever reason, I can’t even load Retroarch with the ‘gl’ driver enabled, so I couldn’t really test that theory on this computer. So, I copied my entire Retroarch folder and some ROMs to my primary computer: 4gb of RAM PC running 64bit Windows 8. On this computer, I can play N64 games just fine using either driver: gl or d3d.

And after all this, I decided to join the forums to ask for your assistance. Any tips would be incredible, even if its suggestions on hardware.

While browsing, I noticed that most replies in ‘Help Me’ threads request error log files, so I generated this one for you guys while trying to load Super Mario 64 using Retroarch and the mupen core:

If it’s a PC issue, I understand. It would just be nice to know what’s going on. Any help would be incredible, guys. And absolutely let me know if you need me to provide more info.

Thanks everyone!

Do you have the latest graphics driver installed for your system?

hunterk · 15 January 2017 07:12

I’m surprised that you could use the mupen64plus with d3d on your other computer. I was going to say that it doesn’t work with d3d at all, AFAIK.

However, as jrock3324 mentioned, it sounds like you don’t have the latest driver for your GPU, judging by this line: RetroArch [INFO] :: [GL]: Vendor: Microsoft Corporation, Renderer: GDI Generic. which indicates that you’re just using the built-in generic driver.

MKMaster · 15 January 2017 07:12

Hi guys, thank you so much for the speedy replies! I took your advice and updated the video driver through Windows, but unfortunately I’m still experiencing the crashing issue. However, progress has been made because now I can use the ‘gl’ driver and open Retroarch. Before the driver update, that wasn’t possible. I re-ran the error log, and this time there is something near the bottom that actually says “error”. Now the problem is that I can’t actually interpret it, haha. Here’s the new log if y’all wouldn’t mind giving it a once-over:

Thanks so much guys. Hopefully there is a next step that can be taken.

hunterk · 15 January 2017 07:12

still seems like a driver issue because it can’t find a GL extension it needs. You could try the latest driver from here:

If that doesn’t work, I’m not sure what else to tell you.

MKMaster · 15 January 2017 07:12

Yeah man, I downloaded the .exe in your link and went through the whole installation process and a restart. Still, same issue. Thank you so much for trying though mate. I feel like it’s a hardware issue. I got this computer for $70 off of Newegg. What I’ll do is keep searching around, and if I find a solution I’ll post it here.

Thanks team.
