Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

I'm running Vista x64. I meet all of the requirements of Dolphin, with a 9600GT.
I've installed the C++ distributable and DirectX (from November) from that stickied thread, but it still gives me the three errors:

1) Can't open PLUGINS/plugin_PadSimpleEvnt.dll; it has a missing function
2) Can't init any PAD plugins
3) Couldn't init the core. Check your configuration.

I've read that this is an error because I need the newest DirectX but I thought I'd installed it.

Just so you know, I've searched for this error a good bit to no avail. Read everything in that sticky.
Thanks for any help you might have!

You need to update your DX9 not install

Thanks, I've downloaded dxwebsetup from microsoft. When I run it it tells me that everything is up to date and that no installation is necessary. Am I missing something here?
