It isn't working on my first run!

[smfthe1199]

Tried restarting but didn't work!

[valadaptive]

Some people seem to have issues using the launcher. After extracting all the files from the .zip, go into the "bin" folder and run ntsc-rs-standalone--does that work?

[smfthe1199]

not either, thus I haven't installed Python yet!

[valadaptive]

ntsc-rs doesn't use Python; you don't need to have it installed.

Have you extracted the files from the .zip or are you clicking on the .zip to open it and trying to run it from there? You need to extract the files or it won't run.

[smfthe1199]

I have extracted the files! I opened it up, nothing!

[smfthe1199]

I might gonna restart this device again and re-extract it to see how it goes! (I deleted the extracted file, still the .zip file remains)!, I will issue an update to see how it goes!

[smfthe1199]

UPDATE: It's still not working!

[valadaptive]

What version of Windows are you running, and can you provide a screen recording or at least screenshots of how you're trying to open the application?

[smfthe1199]

I'm Using Windows 10 (22H2)

[valadaptive]

Can you use ShareX to get a screen recording of you trying to launch ntsc-rs?

[smfthe1199]

Nah I already got a screen recorder!

[smfthe1199]

Uploading My Video.mp4…

[smfthe1199]

Perhaps a link to my Google Drive that shows you how I open up Ntsc-rs: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HVe3XTpAa1TVRf_VNjsQJv4meVwS5j_V/view?usp=sharing

[valadaptive]

Check your sharing settings--I can't access it

[smfthe1199]

Perhaps you can download it, preview it, and then delete it afterwards!

[valadaptive]

Can you try another recording of opening ntsc-rs-standalone.exe in the bin folder? You should be able to upload it directly to GitHub.

[smfthe1199]

It will say "Uploading [filename].mp4" with no indication!, So I'll do a shorter recording with the same thing but in bin file!

[valadaptive]

You just need to wait a while (it might take a long time depending on your internet speed) but it'll be replaced with the URL of the uploaded file after you wait long enough.

[smfthe1199]

oh ok! (Not to mention that the file limit for it is 10MB, and most of my videos are to exceed 10MB! Notably around 11.5MBs)

[smfthe1199]

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1s6ikKIdBbmQ84iwrZnuS3bnYChQp7ens/view?usp=sharing

[valadaptive]

Hm, not sure what's going on yet. I confirmed that the latest version runs on my machine, also Windows 10 22H2. I can help debug more tomorrow.

[smfthe1199]

Allrighty then!

[smfthe1199]

JTLYK, I have installed Chocolatey and installed FFMPEG 3.0, I then tried to get the procedure from the installing of NTSCQT (which is what I have) and it turned out the CMD-let of "git" isn't available in either CMD, PowerShell (with Administrator privileges), and Terminal Runing Windows PowerShell (with Administrator privileges), nothing worked, I will still try, uninstall programs of mine, even trying it on another computer! (What I'm using right now is the main pc). If it worked then you may close the case!

[smfthe1199]

Does this need anything or something?

[valadaptive]

Everything it needs should be bundled with the .zip file.

Download this debug version of ntsc-rs-standalone, and extract it.

Then, run the following commands in Command Prompt:

cd /d "C:/path/to/ntsc-rs-standalone-windows/bin"
SET RUST_BACKTRACE=full
ntsc-rs-standalone.exe

(but replace "C:/path/to/ntsc-rs-standalone-windows/bin" with the full path to the bin folder wherever you extracted the debug build to).

If you've done everything correctly, you should get an error message. If you get 'ntsc-rs-standalone.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file., that means you're in the wrong folder, but otherwise, paste the error message here.

[smfthe1199]

tysm! I should do that tomorrow!

[valadaptive]

It looks like there's an issue with your graphics card. Do you have any trouble running things like 3D games?

If you go to the Windows "Display" settings, scroll down to the bottom and click "Advanced display settings", then click "Display adapter properties for Display 1", it should open a window telling you what graphics card you have. Can you send a screenshot?

[smfthe1199]

[valadaptive]

It seems like your graphics card is too old to support 3D acceleration, at least on Windows 10. Unfortunately, that's necessary to run ntsc-rs.

I haven't tested it myself and have no idea if it will work, but you may be able to try the mesa-dist-win graphics driver (probably mesa3d-23.3.0-release-msvc.7z). It includes a software implementation of 3D rendering.

[smfthe1199]

Allrighty then!

[smfthe1199]

MESA: error: ZINK: failed to load vulkan-1.dll

[valadaptive]

Maybe it's using the wrong driver? Try this in Command Prompt:

cd /d "C:/path/to/ntsc-rs-standalone-windows/bin"
SET GALLIUM_DRIVER=llvmpipe
ntsc-rs-standalone.exe

[smfthe1199]

not working still!

[valadaptive]

Any error message this time?

[smfthe1199]

Doesn't display anything and doesn't yet do anything!

[smfthe1199]

Sorry valdaptive but I have to close the case here, since my PC here don't support that! Thanks for your corporation!
