Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/gopher64/gopher64/issues/616
I have no idea, what I'm doing wrong here, but Gopher just doesn't start up.
I've tried every version down to 1.02 and still nothing. While the older versions start up, I can't launch any rom.
The newest version doesn't even open.
Is there a log, that I can see?
My specs are
Win11 24h2 26100.6899
nvidia rtx 4700 with the newest drivers
32gb Ram
Ryzen 5 3600
I have never seen this issue anywhere else, so I don't think, it has anything to do with drivers or hardware.
@yuanye8425 commented on GitHub (Nov 11, 2025):
Is there any FPS monitor running ? like RTSS (Rivatuner Statistics Server). Turn it off if there is. if it's not the issue. I have no idea what's going on.
@Schnubbirunkel commented on GitHub (Nov 11, 2025):
Nope I don't have any Software Like that installed.
I'll try to close ebery software, thats running in the background to see, if something else is interfering
@DavidV1210 commented on GitHub (Nov 11, 2025):
I have the same issue, update- something in the config was corrupted. I pulled the INI file out and it works again. MAGIC
Windows 11
Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13620H (2.40 GHz)
Installed RAM 32.0 GB
NVIDIA RTX 4070
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
@Schnubbirunkel commented on GitHub (Nov 14, 2025):
I don't really understand. What INI File? Where would that be located? Because in Appdata/Roaming I only have a config.json file and 2 empty folders and I deleted them many times already.
@Schnubbirunkel commented on GitHub (Nov 14, 2025):
I also tried to make it a portable version, which just creates the config.json file and the 2 empty follders in a subfolder next to the exe file. But that also does nothing at boot.
@DavidV1210 commented on GitHub (Nov 15, 2025):
if you need the saves and save states pull them out. Delete the config file and cheats file. You should only have 1 save folder and one for save states. Delete any sub folders within those.
If that doesnt work just pull out the save and save states, as those might be corrupt. When you launch Gopher itll create a new config and cheats file. Hope this helps
@Schnubbirunkel commented on GitHub (Nov 15, 2025):
I did all of that already, I also created a new portable version. Sadly nothing works.
@DavidV1210 commented on GitHub (Nov 15, 2025):
Try launching Gopher with admin rights or.......
Launch Gopher through PowerShell with Admin rights. When it crashes on launch... it should log some type of message.
@Schnubbirunkel commented on GitHub (Nov 15, 2025):
Admin rights does nothing sadly. Also running it through powershell doesn't give me any output whatsoever. I'm lost, honestly. I've never seen something like this.
@DavidV1210 commented on GitHub (Nov 17, 2025):
When you say "doesnt start up" what do you mean? Does a user window of any kind pop up and disappear? .... or do you visually see nothing happen? Does the app just close? Or is this just a Rom not loading issue?
Try these solutions:
redownload VC++.. can't hurt.
Also... this happens more than you may think... ensure the Rom is NOT being launched from the zip file.
Make sure anti virus isnt messing with it too.
@Schnubbirunkel commented on GitHub (Nov 17, 2025):
It's not getting blocked by AV or anything, I've checked that.
When I open the Emulator, the window shows up, just black for about 3 seconds, then white for another second, and then it just closes again. No error message. It's not a ROM, that's launching, because I can't even start the emulator to do that.
I've tried reinstalling every VC++ I could find. Sadly still nothing. I just love my PC. This thing needs to be dissected in a laboratory. It just does everything differently, then any other system on this planet, every single time-.-
@DavidV1210 commented on GitHub (Nov 18, 2025):
These symptoms sound like a GPU issue...... make sure your NVIDIA GPU is being used for Gopher.
1..make sure your graphics setting for Gopher are set to HIGH Performance in the Windows Settings.
2..Update your GPU driver if needed. Use your NVIDIA Control panel to force the RTX GPU for gopher
@drewbyhk commented on GitHub (Nov 19, 2025):
I am having the same issue as well. Here's a video showing my issue (GitHub wouldn't let me upload the video, so I uploaded it to YouTube at the link below). I have done a fresh install of the emulator multiple times and keep getting the same issue.
https://youtu.be/m-SyCCTRezw
@DavidV1210 commented on GitHub (Nov 19, 2025):
drewbyhk it also sounds like your GPU is failing to initialize. Try those solutions
@Schnubbirunkel commented on GitHub (Nov 19, 2025):
I only have one GPU, so it's always used for everything. High Performance is activated, drivers are up-to-date.
Also, it's a bit different to the one, drew had. My app doesn't even get to the menu, it crashes before the window shows anything.
I also created a quick video to demonstrate, what happens: https://youtu.be/MgPBJZ_39dk
@DavidV1210 commented on GitHub (Nov 20, 2025):
Question : Did anything on your system change (recent update, new programs, change setting to something new) before this started.
I know you said you deleted all the old gopher files, but humor me here 😆 follow the instructions below it'll pull up any remenats of a gopher file on your system including crash reports(dump files)
1.open CMD and type this : dir /s /b *gopher*
2. you should have crash dump files, but before that, delete anything gopher related (do not delete anthing with a (dmp) extension)
redownload a clean gopher release and pull everything to the desktop
run an extracted ROM file (hopefully it works)
if this doesn't work. you can run the dmp files in the WinDbg application. Or send me the dump file (if you're comfortable) and ill run it through the debugger.
@Schnubbirunkel commented on GitHub (Nov 20, 2025):
I'm sorry, if I'm doing something wrong, that is really stupid, but where should these dumb files be? Because this is all, that I can see
@DavidV1210 commented on GitHub (Nov 20, 2025):
look through your C drive... here you're looking at your desktop..... when you launch the DOS window type the command, cd \
that will get you to your C Drive aka C:\
you will be on a new line with C:\
right next to that, type in dir /s /b *gopher*
It'll bring up anything, subfolders included. on your C drive with the word "gopher"
@DavidV1210 commented on GitHub (Nov 20, 2025):
My apologies, as I should have been more clear
look through your C drive... here you're looking at your desktop..... when you launch the command window, first enter the command,
that will get you to your C Drive aka C:\
you will be on a new line with C:\
right next to that, type in
It'll bring up anything, subfolders included. on your C drive with the word "gopher"
then hit "enter", and give it a couple seconds

@DavidV1210 commented on GitHub (Nov 21, 2025):
I don't see any gopher dmp files which is odd.
To check if your system is creating dump files, please run this command in your C drive too:
A dmp file will look something like this:
Please let me know if you have any that pop up in the return.
@Schnubbirunkel commented on GitHub (Nov 21, 2025):
C:>dir /s /b dmp
C:\Windows\System32\Com\dmp
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Com\dmp
C:>
That's the only thing, it shows me.
@DavidV1210 commented on GitHub (Nov 21, 2025):
you did not include the asterisks in the command... this is needed to run it properly... these are folders and we are looking for files
In more plain words, you typed in: dir /s /b dmp you need this: dir /s /b *dmp*
in your C drive, like you just did, type in exactly this:
@Schnubbirunkel commented on GitHub (Nov 21, 2025):
Ahhh got it. Here is the output from that as a txt file, because that would be a bit much to paste here.
Crashdumps.txt
@DavidV1210 commented on GitHub (Nov 21, 2025):
C:\Users\Schnubbi\AppData\Local\CrashDumps\gopher64-windows-x86_64.exe.37828.dmp
this is your dump file
copy and paste it into your file explorer bar... itll take you to the "crash log".
Run it through WinDbg..... if you dont have the app.. download it from the MS store.... its free
When you launch the WinDbg app you can just click and drag the file over to the app window..
in the command input for WinDbg... type in
it will translate the gibberish you see on the page.
When it finishes, copy all the output into a txt file and send it over

What is mirillis? Can you try uninstalling it?
@Schnubbirunkel commented on GitHub (Nov 21, 2025):
It's a Screen Recording Software, that I use. It's not running normally. I can uninstall it, but sadly I need that software long term. Give me a few minutes to try it out.
@Schnubbirunkel commented on GitHub (Nov 21, 2025):
Oh god dammit! That was it. I uninstalled Mirillis Action and everything works first try...
@loganmc10 commented on GitHub (Nov 21, 2025):
Yeah, the same thing happens with Bandicam, I haven't figured out why...
@Schnubbirunkel commented on GitHub (Nov 21, 2025):
Well, maybe that's finally the reason to ditch Mirillis once and for all. I don't like it, when software screws around with other programs, even when it's turned off.
Thanks to all of you for helping me with this. This was a journey:D
@DavidV1210 commented on GitHub (Nov 21, 2025):
@Schnubbirunkel Nice! Debugger FTW! Glad it was helpful! 👋
@loganmc10 commented on GitHub (Dec 6, 2025):
I added a note to the wiki about this application, I don't think I can do anything within gopher64 itself to fix this
