Description

Hello there,
I am trying to get the core to work I followed the instructions here!

I downloaded pcsx2 portable installed it copied everything over except the .exes I created the bios, cheats, cheats_ws, & memcards folders I placed all my multiple bios in the bios folder, They are matched up according to how the guide says they should be. The path is correct retroarch/system/pcsx2/bios all lowercase.

I've tried opening it with d3d11 as it says all I get in retroarch is failed to open libretro core.

The core is there in cores folder so idk why this is happening. I've tried using the functions in online updater update core info files, update assets, update databases, & update overlays & I still keep getting this error. I am not sure what to do at this point.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure when loading a PS2 game with the pcsx2 core on Windows 7, then inspect how RetroArch opens cores/pcsx2_libretro.dll. Use the reported error, “The specified procedure could not be found,” as the initial investigation point; done means the core loads successfully instead of producing that error.
