The emulator Mesen appeared on the official repo on Windows environnement.

When I tried the emulator, I have this Issue.

I have the same issue with Kodi 18 (32 bits and 64 bits)

I tried to do a ldd in msys.

$ ldd game.libretro.mesen.dll
ntdll.dll => /c/windows/SYSTEM32/ntdll.dll (0x77230000)
kernel32.dll => /c/windows/system32/kernel32.dll (0x77110000)
KERNELBASE.dll => /c/windows/system32/KERNELBASE.dll (0x7fefce50000)
??? => ??? (0x6d440000)

I tried Nestopia and it is working without issue.

Thanks for your help !

Sorry, I don't have a windows build environment at the moment. Maybe it helps comparing the dll with the one from retroarch?

[wwark]

The dll from retroarch works

Retroarch
