pcsx2 core is broken for Windows #4

Open Tasosgemah opened 5 months ago

Tasosgemah commented 5 months ago

It crashes back to the main menu and gives this error in the log:

[ERROR] Failed to open libretro core: "G:\RetroArch\cores\pcsx2_libretro.dll"

[ERROR] Error(s): The specified module could not be found.

Same here. I believe Hunterk is looking into it, though. I did ask on the discord, but of course, you're not allowed to talk about it on there, for the most part.

So, in looking into this, it seems it may just be a lack of vs c++ redist. Do you guys have the latest version installed? I asked someone on discord to try it out and it fired right up for them, and I ran dumpbin to identify all of the core's dependencies, which are:

WINMM.dll
ADVAPI32.dll
D3DCOMPILER_47.dll
d3d11.dll
dxgi.dll
KERNEL32.dll
api-ms-win-core-memory-l1-1-5.dll
api-ms-win-core-memory-l1-1-6.dll
USER32.dll
VERSION.dll
MSVCP140D.dll
IMM32.dll
VCRUNTIME140D.dll
VCRUNTIME140_1D.dll
ucrtbased.dll

The only ones that seem questionable are the MSVCP140D and VCRUNTIME140* libs, which are included in that latest redist.

EDIT: ah, someone on discord gave me the tip: those are the debug libs, which is why you guys don't have them. I should be able to build the 'release' variant to fix that.

Tasosgemah commented 5 months ago

Is there any negative in having the debug libs?

hunterk commented 5 months ago

No, the logs are just kinda spammy. It shouldn't hurt anything, just takes up some extra space.

I'm not sure why it's always building debug, though. Everything looks to be in order with my build process. It may be just something up with the core as it stands right now.

brad86m commented 4 months ago

Happy we have a workaround. Do you suggest installing these debug files, or waiting for you to update ?

hunterk commented 4 months ago

if you don't mind installing the debug libs, that's probably the way to go for the short term. I'm not clear on what's causing the debug builds, since I say right in there 'build_type=Release' /shrug

@hunterk

Not sure what the correct files are to install. Could you provide a link?

brad86m commented 4 months ago

I tried the debug install myself, but I still have the same error in RA. I'll wait.

brad86m commented 3 weeks ago

Any news on a build without the debug libs reliance ?
