Ryebread691 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Hello I am new to the forums and to Intellivision programming, so bear with my noob question. Today, I downloaded SDK-1600 for some reason when I try to run the command "Jzintv", I get a pop up message which says: "The program can't start because SDL.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." I later tried to reinstall the sdk, but it did not fix the problem. Any suggestions?I Also, I want to know what the command is to run your programs in the emulator. Edited June 23, 2014 by Ryebread691 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hi, Ryebread691, and welcome! Are you trying to run games in the emulator? If so, your question may be more appropriate in the general forum. This forum is intended for questions regarding programming games for the Intellivision. We don't mind helping either way, but the general Intellivision forum gets much more traffic and gaming questions have a higher chance of getting answered there. In any case, it seems you need to install the SDL (Simple DirectMedia Library) framework. SDL is a multimedia open source library used by the jzIntv emulator to produce graphics and sound. You can get it from the SDL project page. Make sure to get the appropriate version for your PC operating system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DZ-Jay Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Windows 8.1 PC So, you download the appropriate version for your PC (32- or 64-bit), and extract the ZIP archive. Inside, you will see a file called SDL2.dll. You then move that file to the Windows system folder (I think it's in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32). -dZ.

Ryebread691 Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 I put it into the windows 32 folder and it still gives me the same error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvnut Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi everybody. Sorry it took me awhile to get here. The SDL.dll file is missing from the Beta4 ZIP file. Someone else pointed this out to me recently (last week or so). SDL2 won't work, as jzIntv/SDK-1600 are SDL 1.2 based. I'll update the ZIP file shortly with the correct DLL. Once you have the correct DLL, it belongs in the jzintv-1.0-beta4\bin folder, not WINDOWS\SYSTEM32. I'll post once it's updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intvnut Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Ok, I've updated http://spatula-city.org/~im14u2c/intv/dl/jzintv-1.0-beta4-win32.zip to have the correct SDL.dll in the archive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
