I can’t run games with latest builds with openGL, the menu runs fine BUT the games are with black screen and sound
FPS is rendered,
No problem with build 1.36,
I have an ATI 5450 card running on Windows 7 64 bit
Didn’t found anything strange in the log file,
It looks like some kind of OpenGl problem since I can run the games With DirectX…
Any suggestions ???
Log file just in case…

Last two things:
I’m not sure I’m asking the right place, but I’m having an issue while using my Retroarch through Steam link. Everything works great, but I can’t seem to use the fast forward feature. I can use it when on my PC, and launching the game through steam. But if I stream it to my TV using the steam link, the hotkey I setup for it no longer works. All my other hotkeys work (like save states and load states) but for the life of me I can’t get it fast forwarding to work. Anyone have any ideas?
Does the Steam Link force vsync? RetroArch’s fast-forward just disables audio/video sync and lets the core run as fast as it can.
I have been trying to look into it but I don’t see any Vsync options through the steam link, I believe it may be forcing it but I don’t see anyway to turn it off or on. I tried using launch options and do a -novsync but when I do that the game won’t launch at all.
Hi! I have a problem, when I start RetroArch. I downloaded the last version (1.4.0) and this error window is coming up: The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). I don’t know what am I doing wrong? Samsung NP350v5c-s06 notebook, Windows 10 64 bit operating system.
Try re-downloading the full package again. If it keeps up, try installing the 32-bit build.
Same is happening to me.
Toshiba laptop, with core i3 M370, with onboard video. Windows 10, 64 bit. WDDM 1.1 DirectX 10 driver installed, since there’s nothing newer from intel.
Each nightly for the last 3-4 days is exactly the same, crashes on startup. Tried unzipping the 7z to my existing directory, and when that didn’t work, tried a fresh install to a new folder.
Both 64 and 32 bit versions crash.
(1.3.6 works fine on the laptop, and 1.4.0 works fine on my main PC) The same install/folder that works on the PC crashes on the laptop.
both main and debug builds crash.
Can you launch from a command line with --verbose --log-file log.txt and copy/paste the contents to pastebin and then post a link here?
since there is no official drivers for that Win10-its just running native M$ generic drivers-its gonna be a problem running that on RA 1.4.x in opengl mode. d3d should probably work.
ah, yep, here’s your problem: RetroArch [INFO] :: [GL]: Vendor: Microsoft Corporation, Renderer: GDI Generic.
You’ll need to install a proper driver, if one exists for your GPU. Make sure you have directx 9.0c installed from the web installer, as well.
I’m running the windows 8.1 drivers. D3D gives me a black screen, yellow writing, and no cores start. But it does open.
Are you sure that’s the problem?
Here’s the pastebin from 1.3.6, same machine. same retroarch.cfg.
hmmm multi display laptop? 1.4.0 is running \.\DISPLAY1. and 1.3.6 running on \.\DISPLAY4. which seems to have detected suitable drivers.
I noticed that!
But no, single screen laptop, (which only has VGA out) so I only use the inbuilt screen. I have had vga monitors hooked up to it at some stage to test, but nothing atm.
Ok, so, I went and deleted that (hidden) other display driver, and now 1.4.0 uses \.\DISPLAY4
but still crashes!
are you just using the nightly releases for 1.4.x? try using that Retroarch.7z file instead to have full package and try running again… if it still detects you have GDI drivers, then its probable it cant run on your system.
I got the retroarch.7z full package yes. And I tried from a new directory, with no retroarch.cfg or core-settings file. (Other than the defaults in the 7z) Same problem.
(Full packages and latest cores for both x86 and x64)
ok, i dont have much to say. retroarch has evolved into 1.4.x and does not like legacy drivers in windows 10
