Konos only works with Windows 10 or higher. Correct?

@vbt it seems you told me Kronos works Win 7 too ?

x64 doesn't work on Windows 7. It complains about several DLLs and other things.
x86 It opens, but doesn't work. And it requires OpenGL that is higher than mine.

which dll ?

yes , from windows 7 :

Windows 7:
DirectX must be version 2010.

VC++ 2015~2022 must be installed.
(On my PC VC++ 2010 is also installed)

Kronos x64 displays: "The application was unable to initialize correctly (0xc000007b)."
Cause: Wrong xinput1_4.dll. Because xinput1_4.dll was made for Windows 10+. Windows 7 uses xinput1_3.dll.
Solution: Just copy xinput1_3.dll to the Kronos folder and rename it.

Kronos x86 x64 requires OpenGL 4.3+, I don't have it.
Although it opens, the lack of the required OpenGL does not allow the emulator to continue.

Kronos need an GFX card > OpenGl 4.3

Yes.
It's so weird not to have the DX/Software option. Yabause (original) had it and it worked fine.
well, I'm not going to buy a video card because of an emulator.

Compute shader is moire consuming than DX/ Software option. But emulation is more accurate with 🙂

Sorry to weigh in with a niggly RetroArch issue. I'm on Win7 but probably nothing to do with that. I'm looking to play the STV rom for FantasyZone. I get this screen:

@fafling answered to this question on discord :

It's a "correct" error, because the same happens on real stv : https://github.com/mamedev/mame/commit/08d698e5750180116ac5758a8cabd978627b0578#r35803703Fantasy zone requires additional hardware which is not emulated by kronos.
