    Default Emulators don't work no more

    Hi fellas. I've been having this weird thing with my laptop, It won't run any emulator.
    I've tested the same ROMs and emulator files on another pc and it worked like a charm. but on my computer i keep getting error messages when loading the ROMs
    VBA for examples gives me an "error opening image" error, while project 64 gives me an "attempt to open file failed" message.
    only emulator that has worked for me was ZSNES strangely.
    These games have worked for me on the same computer a year back, but probably some tweaking or update to the OS have prevented it from working. has anyone faced the same issue in the past?

    Have you tried RetroArch?

    I wonder if it will open in that.

    BTW what OS are you running?
    THE BEST METHOD to run PSX games (and everything else for that matter) is via Retroarch - http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/
    If you have any questions on how to set it up on Windows please feel free to ask, its very easy.

    Fuck. That's so weird. Retroarch makes roms work. once a rom has been loaded by it, it can now be used by any other emulator.
    This makes my brain wrinkle.
    It's a 64 bit win 10 home.
    I guess problem is solved..

    Sounds like Win 10 in a nutshell.

    Glad your issue has been solved?
