RPCS3 FAQ

When i want to start "rpcs3-x86.exe" I have an error message:

0xc000007b

Could someone help me with that?
How can i fix that?
Any Suggestion?

x86

There is your problem. The 32-bit version is not supported anymore, and will run pretty much nothing even if you get it to start. Install 64-bit Windows, and if you can't, your CPU is to slow for anything anyway.

ohh... I didnt see that it was for a 32-Bit System... xD
I just downloaded the newest version for a 64-Bit System, yet it still shows the same error

Did you try installing the required redistributable that I linked you?
Also, x86 is a 64-bit architecture. It wasn't a 32-bit version you tried. (32-bit versions should work on 64-bit computers though)

EDIT:
Seems like I had x86-64 in mind

No, the 32 bit version of rpcs3 was called rpcs3-x86.exe and the 64-bit version is called rpcs3-x64.exe. Also the 32-bit version, that was dropped several months ago btw, will not work on any system, it was broken to begin with.

To run rpcs3 you need rpcs3-x64.exe and vcredist_x64.exe from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/...x?id=40784

I also tried that didn't change anything...
I searched a bit online and tried using Dependancy Walker
to find out if i miss any .dll needed.
It says I need "api-ms-win.dlls" maybe that info helps.

Does installing OpenAL help with your problem? I had the same problem as you (http://www.emunewz.net/forum/showthread....#pid207136), but the solution suggested by people here on EmuNewz was to reinstall the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable, which didn't help at all. After seeing a post of a similar problem in another topic (which seems to be gone now), I installed OpenAL and never had another problem with RPCS3.

Some time ago rpcs3 depended on a normal OpenAL install, but now a different OpenAL .dll is included, and that should be all that is needed.

TakaOtaku, just to confirm, you are on 64-bit Windows 7/8/8.1, correct? I might not really be needed, but try to install both the 64 and 32 (x86) versions of the Visual Studio redist.

Also the 32-bit version, that was dropped several months ago btw, will not work on any system, it was broken to begin with.

Wise decision. Trying to handle 32 x 64-bit registers with less than 4 x 2 x 32-bit registers is utterly stupid... not speaking about how to emulate a 64-bit operation into several 32-bit operations...

Yes, I have 64-Bit Windows 7. Maybe I'll try to formate my PC, wanted to do that anyway sometime soon.
Maybe that helps.

the VS2013 runtime is broken on Win7 without SP1, so if you don't have SP1 it's expected to not work

That didn't help I already had SP1 installed. I just formated my PC and installed everything again. Now it works
