Newer builds (post 2793) arent working

03-06-2011, 04:08 AM #1

Hey guys i could use some help.

my computer is windows vista x64. I have been updating regularly but recently the newer builds have not been working i get the error (with the newest 2703)
It appears the break was from the 7294 update. Because the error reads
"entry point not found"
"TryAcquireSRWlockExclusive could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNAL32.dll."

I have tried searching the forums and just google regarding the issue but haven't found anything. Please help me out. Thanks.

Hi,

I have the same problem... after some investigation I think it has something to do with die kernel.dll.

Which OS do you use?

On my vista machine it won't run anymore, but on win7 it's fine... I think it's because:

TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive Function is supported in kernel.dll since windows7

see also: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd405523(v=vs.85).aspx

however, maybe it works with the dll from win7 overwritten over the one from vista, but dunno, didn't tried yet.

r7294 only affects Server 2003 x64 (aka XP x64), which is no longer compatible with the x64 builds of Dolphin. Both Windows 7 x64 and Windows Vista x64 work fine post r7294 and I've even tested this myself just to be sure. Something else is wrong, possibly with your system/configuration, it's not that revision that caused it.

You can bet there would be a lot more complaints and negatives if r7294 broke x64 builds on Windows Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64.

Shit, it looks like "TryAcquireSRWLockExclusive" does require Windows 7 while "AcquireSRWLockExclusive" only requires Windows Vista.
Stupid Microsoft.
hmmmmm

That's weird, any difference between the two that would be noticeable?

One only tries to acquire the lock, and the other blocks until the lock is acquired. :p

Try revision 7313, it should fix the Vista x64 issue.
