Win 64 , swanstation / duckstation broken

can any one confirm this? i tried old duckstation and newest swanstation, normally ,core name appear when load the core without content in bottom left , but not this core

I haven’t heard anyone else report it failing to load the core, but that sure sounds like what’s happening here. Can you generate and post a log of it? That may tell us more about what’s going wrong.

Looks like the same issue as here, which that person said was fixed by installing the MSVC++ runtime.

How is something like this possible? I’m genuinely curious.
