MiniDumpWriteDump not found :( Jan 29, 2006 8:17:05 GMT -5

Hi,

First, thanks for making a new PSX emulator.

I tried to launch it on a w2k SP4 box and it exited with this message: "The procedure entry point MiniDumpWriteDump could not be located in the dynamic link library dgbhelp.dll". The dll is present on my system and up to date, but I guess this procedure is not supported :-( Is there a way to fix this or is there a work around to launch the emulator ?

I solved this by installing an updated debugging package from microsoft containing a later version of dbghelp.dll:

www.microsoft.com/whdc/devtools/debugging/default.mspx

I made a local copy of the new DLL in the emulator directory and it launched. Due to restrictions in the supported ISO formats, I didn't test a lot of games, but they all ran suprsingly well ! An easy-to-use and serious concurrent to ePSXe. Many thanks again !

Hi,

Ah - sorry about that. Yes - it will happen on some versions of windows (most modern ones should already have this dll though).

I should be able to detect whether or not you have this dll and disable crash dump support... I'll look into it.

Thanks.
