Anyway, at first Snes9x 1.53 wouldn't run at all, although it did tell me that I was missing d3dx9_38.dll, so I downloaded that DLL file from a site that has DLL files for download, & put the DLL file in the same folder that Snes9x 1.53 is in. Now Snes9x 1.53 does play, but I still always get this error message before it does so.
This is insane, because Windows 8 is telling me that I have DirectX 11 installed (see the 4 attached images).Unable to initialize XAudio2. You will not be able to hear any
sound effects or music while playing
This is usually caused by not having a recent DirectX release installed.
I'm hoping that I can fix Snes9x 1.53 for Windows's "XAudio2" complaint by just downloading a specific DLL file & putting it in the same folder that Snes9x 1.53 is in, but I don't know which DLL file I should look for (or even if that will fix the "XAudio2" complaint or not). Does anybody know which DLL file I should look for?
